Protein Domain : Polysaccharide export protein MPA1-like IPR005701

Type	Family
Description	The MPA1 proteins function in capsule polysaccharide and exopolysaccharide polymerisation and/or export. They possess a characteristic carboxy-terminal ATP-binding domain and one or more regions which can form coiled-coils and are located in the periplasmic domain between the two transmembrane regions of the protein [ ].This entry also includes some capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis proteins from the CpsC/CapA family, including CpsC from Streptococcus pneumoniae. CpsC is required for CpsD phosphorylation and is involved in the regulation of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis. It may be part of a complex that directs the coordinated polymerisation and export to the cell surface of the capsular polysaccharide [ ].
Short Name	MPA1-like
