rod-binding protein
Members of this family are involved in the assembly of the prokaryotic flagellar rod. (from Pfam)
glucosaminidase domain-containing protein
This family includes Mannosyl-glycoprotein endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase EC:3.2.1.96. As well as the flageller protein J Swiss:P75942 that has been shown to hydrolyse peptidoglycan [1]. [1]. 10049388. Peptidoglycan-hydrolyzing activity of the FlgJ protein, essential for flagellar rod formation in Salmonella typhimurium. Nambu T, Minamino T, Macnab RM, Kutsukake K;. J Bacteriol 1999;181:1555-1561. (from Pfam)
flagellar assembly peptidoglycan hydrolase FlgJ
flagellar assembly peptidoglycan hydrolase FlgJ acts as a flagellum-specific muramidase which hydrolyzes the peptidoglycan layer to assemble the rod structure in the periplasmic space
Herlihey, et al. report "Surprisingly, FlgJ functions as neither a muramidase [lysozyme, 3.2.1.17] nor a lytic transglycosylases [4.2.2.n1/n2] but rather as a beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase [3.2.1.14]." For a clarification of the meaning of this statement, see figure 2 from PMID:18266855.
