tarF

Gene
tarF
Protein
Teichoic acid poly(glycerol phosphate) polymerase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii (strain ATCC 23059 / NRRL B-14472 / W23)
Length
394 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the addition of further 2-8 glycerol phosphate units from CDP-glycerol to the single glycerol phosphate unit bound to the prenolpyrophosphate-linked disaccharide. The function in the cell is unknown since the product is not part of the poly(ribitol phosphate) teichoic acid found in the cell walls.
Similarity
Belongs to the CDP-glycerol glycerophosphotransferase family.
Mass
47.432 kDa
