epsN

Gene

epsN

Protein

Putative pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferase EpsN

Organism

Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)

Length

388 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 DegT/DnrJ/EryC1 family.
