<p>The predicted protein-sorting transpeptidase that we call exosortase (see <db_xref db="INTERPRO" dbkey="IPR013426"/>) has distinct subclasses that associated with different types of exopolysaccharide production loci. This entry represents a distinct clade among a set of amidotransferases largely annotated (not necessarily accurately) as glutamine-hydrolysing asparagine synthases. Members of this clade are essentially restricted to the characteristic exopolysaccharide (EPS) regions that contain the exosortase 1 genome (xrtA), in genomes that also have numbers of PEP-CTERM domain (<db_xref db="INTERPRO" dbkey="IPR013424"/>) proteins.</p> Exosortase 1 system-associated amidotransferase 1
