Protein Domain : Gliding motility-associated ABC transporter permease protein GldF IPR019860

Type  Family
Description  Members of this protein family are exclusive to the Bacteroidetes phylum (previously Cytophaga-Flavobacteria-Bacteroides). GldF is believed to be a ABC transporter permease protein (along with ATP-binding subunit, GldA and a substrate-binding subunit, GldG) and is linked to a type of rapid surface gliding motility found in certain Bacteroidetes, such as Cytophaga johnsonae (Flavobacterium johnsoniae) and Cytophaga hutchinsonii. Knockouts of GldF abolish the gliding phenotype [ ]. Gliding motility appears closely linked to chitin utilization in the model species C. johnsonae. Bacteroidetes with members of this protein family appear to have all of the genes associated with gliding motility.
