4.D.1.1.3
PgaC or YcdQ of 441 aas with a 5 (2 (N-terminal) + 3 (C-terminal)) TMS topology. TC Blast retrieves 4.D.3.1.5 and 4.D.2.1.9 with scores of e-13 and e-8, respectively, for the hydrophilic catalytic domains, demonstrating homology.  This enzyme is an N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that catalyzes the polymerization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to produce the linear homopolymer, poly-beta-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (PGA), a biofilm adhesin polysaccharide (Cerca and Jefferson 2008).  May function with PgaD, a 137 aa, 2 TMS protein (P69432). The polysaccharide is partially deacetylated by PgaB (P75906) in preparation for export across the outer membrane by PgaA (TC# 1.B.55.1.1).
