Bacterial lectin
This entry primarily matches to legume-like lectin domains found in prokaryotes. (from Pfam)
WxL domain-containing protein
The WxL motif appears in two or three copies in these bacterial proteins [1] and confers a cell surface localisation function. It seems likely that this region is the cell wall-binding domain of gram-positive bacteria, and may interact with the peptidoglycan [2]. [1]. 16723015. Lactobacillus plantarum gene clusters encoding putative. cell-surface protein complexes for carbohydrate utilization are. conserved in specific gram-positive bacteria.. Siezen R, Boekhorst J, Muscariello L, Molenaar D, Renckens B,. Kleerebezem M;. BMC Genomics. 2006;7:126.. [2]. 16963569. C-terminal WxL domain mediates cell wall binding in Enterococcus. faecalis and other gram-positive bacteria.. Brinster S, Furlan S, Serror P;. J Bacteriol. 2007;189:1244-1253. (from Pfam)
