This family includes PgaC, BpsC, HmsR, and IcaA from E. coli, B. pertussis, Y. pestis, and S. aureus, respectively. A. baumannii PgaC shares 55% identity with E. coli PgaC, 47% identity with B. pertussis BpsC, and 55% identity with Y. pestis HmsR. In addition, the five amino acids that have been shown to be critical for the catalytic activity of glycosyltransferases are all conserved in PgaC (Asp112, Asp205, Gln241, Arg244, and Trp245) [Ref7624:Choi et al., 2009]. 19633088 5234 pgaB 259020299 259020300 ACV90434 ACV90434.1 PgaB Virulence factor Deletion of the pga locus (the pgaABC genes) led to loss of the strong biofilm phenotype, which was restored by complementation [Ref7624:Choi et al., 2009].; pgaB encodes a predicted 510-amino-acid protein with a putative polysaccharide deacetylase domain. It shares 33%, 31%, and 37% identity with E. coli PgaB, Y. pestis HmsF, and B. pertussis BpsB, respectively. All these proteins have putative deacetylase activities. In Y. pestis, HmsF was isolated from the outer membrane by cellular fractionation. E. coli PgaB is predicted to be an outer membrane lipoprotein that, along with PgaA, is necessary for PNAG export [Ref7624:Choi et al., 2009]. 19633088 5235 pgaA 259020297 259020298 ACV90433 ACV90433.1 PgaA Virulence factor Deletion of the pga locus (the pgaABC genes) led to loss of the strong biofilm phenotype, which was restored by complementation [Ref7624:Choi et al., 2009].; A. baumannii pgaA encodes a predicted 812-amino-acid outer membrane protein that shares 26% identity with E. coli PgaA, 23% identity with Y. pestis HmsH, and 25% identity with B. pertussis BpsA. In E. coli, PgaA contains a predicted porin domain that facilitates PNAG translocation across the outer membrane, as well as a superhelical periplasmic domain that is thought to play a role in protein-protein interactions. In Y. pestis HmsH has been demonstrated to be an outer membrane protein [Ref7624:Choi et al., 2009]. 19633088 5236 bfmS 5237 ompA 5238 LH92_11085 5239 Phospholipase D 5240 plc1 5241 abaI 5242 csuE 5243 ptk 5244 epsA 5245 pbpG 5246 bauA 5247 pld1 5248 pld1 5249 pld1 5250 pld3 5251 om73 5252 fur 5253 surA1
