tarL

Gene

tarL

Protein

Teichoic acid poly(ribitol-phosphate) polymerase

Organism

Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii (strain ATCC 23059 / NRRL B-14472 / W23)

Length

619 amino acids

Function

Responsible for the polymerization of the main chain of the major teichoic acid by sequential transfer of ribitol phosphate units from CDP-ribitol to the glycerol phosphate attached to the disaccharide linkage unit. Synthesizes polymers of up to 40 ribitol phosphate units in length.

Similarity

Belongs to the CDP-glycerol glycerophosphotransferase family.
