Type: | Family | Name: | Gliding motility-associated lipoprotein, GldD |
Description: | Members of this protein family are found a number of Bacteriodetes lineage bacteria, including both species such as Cytophaga johnsonae(Flavobacterium johnsoniae), which possess a poorly understood form of rapid gliding motility, and other species which apparently do not. Mutation of GldD blocks both this motility and chitin utilization in the model species, C. johnsonae []. | Short Name: | Motility-assoc_lipoprot_GldD |
