epsM

Gene

epsM

Protein

Putative acetyltransferase EpsM

Organism

Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)

Length

216 amino acids

Function

May be involved in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) component of the extracellular matrix during biofilm formation. EPS is responsible for the adhesion of chains of cells into bundles.

Similarity

Belongs to the transferase hexapeptide repeat family.
