Type: | Family | Name: | Exosortase, cyanobacteria |
Description: | The predicted protein-sorting transpeptidase that we call exosortase (see ) has distinct subclasses that associated with different types of exopolysaccharide production loci and/or different taxonomic lineages. We designate this relatively divergent cyanobacterial type to be type 3. We propose the gene symbol xrtC. This type coexists with a -recognised form in Nostoc sp PCC 7120. | Short Name: | Exosortase_cyanobac |
