CapA family protein
This protein is a putative poly-gamma-glutamate capsule biosynthesis protein found in bacteria. Poly-gamma-glutamate is a natural polymer that may be involved in virulence and may help bacteria survive in high salt concentrations. It is a surface-associated protein [1]. [1]. 16689787. Poly-gamma-glutamate in bacteria. Candela T, Fouet A;. Mol Microbiol. 2006;60:1091-1098. (from Pfam)
CapA family protein similar to Bacillus anthracis capsule biosynthesis protein CapA, which is essential for the synthesis of its polyglutamate capsule and may form a polyglutamyl synthetase complex together with proteins CapB and CapC; belongs to the metallophosphoesterase (MPP) superfamily
