Protein Domain : LGFP IPR013207

Type	Repeat
Description	This 54 amino acid repeat is found in many hypothetical proteins. Several hypothetical proteins from Corynebacterium glutamicum (Brevibacterium flavum) and Corynebacterium efficiens along with PS1 protein contain this repeat region. The N-terminal region of PS1 contains an esterase domain which transfers corynomycolic acid. The C-terminal region consists of 4 tandem LGFP repeats. It is hypothesised that the PS1 proteins in Corynebacterium, when associated with the cell wall, may be anchored via the LGFP tandem repeats that may be important for maintaining cell wall integrity. Deletion of protein results in a 10-fold increase in the cell volume of the organism and infers the corresponding involvement of the protein in the cell shape formation [ ]. The secondary structure of each repeat is predicted to comprise two β-strands and one α-helix.
