Protein Domain : Gliding motility associated protein GldN IPR019847

Type  Family
Description  Members of this protein family are exclusive to the Bacteroidetes phylum (previously Cytophaga-Flavobacteria-Bacteroides). GldN is a protein linked to a type of rapid surface gliding motility found in certain Bacteroidetes, such as Cytophaga johnsonae (Flavobacterium johnsoniae) and Cytophaga hutchinsonii. Knockouts of GldN abolish the gliding phenotype [ ]. Gliding motility appears closely linked to chitin utilization in the model species C. johnsonae. Bacteroidetes with members of this protein also include those which are not believed to express the gliding phenotype, such as Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Bacteroides gingivalis).
