Primary Identifier | IPR014522 | Type | Family |
Short Name | ArtA |
description | This family is an archaeal variant of the (normally bacterial) putative protein-sorting integral membrane protein exosortase, hence archaeosortase. The PGF-CTERM/archaeosortase A system is related to S-layer (surface layer) production []. Moreover, it has been shown that archaeosortase A (ArtA) is involved in carboxy-terminal post-translational processing of the S-layer glycoprotein []. Archaeosortase, similarly to sortase, mediate proteolysis-coupled, covalent cell surface attachment []. |
