Membrane Topology and Functional Analysis of Methylobacillus sp. 12S Genes epsF and epsG, Encoding Polysaccharide Chain-Length Determining Proteins
2012
The EpsF and EpsG of the methanol-assimilating bacterium Methylobacillus sp. 12S are involved in the synthesis of a high molecular weight exopolysaccharide, methanolan. These proteins share homology with chain-length determiners in other polysaccharide-producing bacteria. The N- and C-termini of EpsF were found to locate to the cytoplasm, and EpsF was predicted to have two transmembrane regions. EpsG showed both ATPase and autophosphorylation activities.
