Primary Identifier | IPR019674 | Type | Family |
Short Name | Lipoprotein_LpqN/LpqT-like |
description | This protein is conserved in Mycobacteriaceae and is likely to be a lipoprotein []. lpqN is involved in cell envelope lipid changes during biofilm maturation. It interacts with periplasmic loop domains of the MmpL3 and MmpL11 transporters that export mycolic acid-containing cell envelope lipids. It also interacts with secreted cell envelope biosynthetic enzymes such as Ag85A []. It has been shown to interact with host CBL, a host ubiquitin ligase, and probably blocks the normal functions of CBL and disturbs CBL-mediated antibacterial activity [].This entry also includes LpqT and Mtc28. Their function is not clear. |
