Type: | Family | Name: | Sugar transferase, PEP-CTERM, Stp1 |
Description: | Members of this family contain a glycosyl transferase group 1 domain. Nearly all are found in species that encode the PEP-CTERM/exosortase system predicted to act in protein sorting in a number of Gram-negative bacteria. In particular, these transferases are found proximal to a particular variant of exosortase, EpsH1, which appears to travel with a conserved group of genes summarized by . The nature of the sugar transferase reaction catalysed by members of this clade is unknown and may conceivably be variable with respect to substrate by species, but we hypothesize a conserved substrate. | Short Name: | Sugar_tfrase_PEP-CTERM_Stp1 |
