Type: | Family | Name: | Acyl-CoA ligase (AMP-forming), exosortase system type 1 associated |
Description: | This group of proteins contains an AMP-binding domain associated with acyl CoA-ligases. These proteins are generally found in genomes containing the exosortase/PEP-CTERM protein export system [], specifically the type 1 variant of this system described by . When found in this context they are invariably present next to a decarboxylase enzyme. A number of sequences from Burkholderia species are also present in this entry, but the genomic context is obviously different. The hypothesis of a constant substrate for this family is only strong where the exosortase context is present. | Short Name: | AcylCoA_ligase_PEP_1 |
