Protein Family Models

endolytic transglycosylase MltG functions as a peptidoglycan terminase that cleaves nascent peptidoglycan strands endolytically to terminate their elongation

This uncharacterized protein family, found in three of four microbial genomes, virtually always once per genome, includes YceG from Escherichia coli. This protein is encoded next to PabC, 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase, in E. coli and numerous other proteobacteria, but that proximity is not conserved in other lineages. Numerous members of this family have been misannotated as aminodeoxychorismate lyase, apparently because of promiximty to PabC.
