| Type | Family |
| Description | Members of this protein family are the poly-beta-1,6 N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (PGA) export porin PgaA of Gram-negative bacteria. There is no counterpart in the poly-beta-1,6 N-acetyl-D-glucosamine biosynthesis systems of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis. The PGA polysaccharide adhesin is a critical determinant of biofilm formation. This enzyme exports PGA across the outer membrane. The PGA transported seems to be partially N-deacetylated since N-deacetylation of PGA by PgaB is needed for PGA export through the PgaA porin [ , ].This outer membrane protein contains a predicted C-terminal β-barrel porin domain and a N-terminal periplasmic superhelical domain containing tetratricopeptide repeats, which may mediate protein-protein interactions, perhaps with PgaB [ ]. |
