accessory Sec system glycosylation protein GtfA. Members of this protein family are found only in Gram-positive bacteria of the Firmicutes lineage, including several species of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Lactobacillus. Members are associated with glycosylation of serine-rich glycoproteins exported by the accessory Sec system. [Protein fate, Protein modification and repair]

accessory Sec system glycosyltransferase GtfA and similar proteins. This family is most closely related to the GT4 family of glycosyltransferases and is named after gtfA in Streptococcus gordonii, where it plays a role in the O-linked glycosylation of GspB, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in platelet binding. In general glycosyltransferases catalyze the transfer of sugar moieties from activated donor molecules to specific acceptor molecules, forming glycosidic bonds. The acceptor molecule can be a lipid, a protein, a heterocyclic compound, or another carbohydrate residue. This group of glycosyltransferases is most closely related to the previously defined glycosyltransferase family 1 (GT1). The members of this family may transfer UDP, ADP, GDP, or CMP linked sugars. The diverse enzymatic activities among members of this family reflect a wide range of biological functions. The protein structure available for this family has the GTB topology, one of the two protein topologies observed for nucleotide-sugar-dependent glycosyltransferases. GTB proteins have distinct N- and C- terminal domains each containing a typical Rossmann fold. The two domains have high structural homology despite minimal sequence homology. The large cleft that separates the two domains includes the catalytic center and permits a high degree of flexibility. The members of this family are found in bacteria.

amylovoran biosynthesis glycosyltransferase AmsD and similar proteins. This family is most closely related to the GT4 family of glycosyltransferases. AmSD in Erwinia amylovora has been shown to be involved in the biosynthesis of amylovoran, the acidic exopolysaccharide acting as a virulence factor. This enzyme may be responsible for the formation of galactose alpha-1,6 linkages in amylovoran.
