Protein
Arabinogalactan biosynthesis recruiting protein MT3897
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
Required for arabinosylation of arabinogalactan (AG), an essential component of the mycobacterial cell wall. Probably acts as an anchor protein recruiting AftA, the first arabinosyl transferase involved in AG biosynthesis.
Similarity
Belongs to the GtrA family.
