Description
Transpeptidase that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall (PubMed:15968076). Recognizes and modifies its substrate by proteolytic cleavage of a C-terminal sorting signal. Following cleavage, a covalent intermediate is formed via a thioester bond between the sortase and its substrate, which is then transferred and covalently attached to the cell wall (PubMed:15968076). This sortase recognizes a Leu-Pro-x-Thr-Gly (LPXTG) motif, which is cleaved by the sortase between the threonine and glycine residues (PubMed:15968076). Important for growth in macrophages. May be critical in the early stages of inhalation anthrax (PubMed:16041044).
