S-layer homology domain-mediated cell wall binding~Two classes of S-layer homology domain (SLH) proteins are S-layer proteins themselves and porin-like outer membrane proteins with N-terminal SLH domains. Mesnage, et al. [1] have shown that CsaB (cell surface anchoring B) in Bacillus anthracis catalyzes a pyruvyl group addition to an LPS-associated polysaccharide, an addition that enables non-covalent binding by SLH domain proteins to the cell wall. We have built the model TIGR03609, representing a special clade within the larger family described by Pfam model PF04230, and find that it tracks closely with the SLH domain in its phylogenetic distribution. |
