9.B.97 The Acyltransferase-3/Putative Acetyl-CoA Transporter (ATAT) Family

The ATAT (COG1835 or Acyltransferase-3) family includes several proteins implicated in both transport of acyl-CoA derivatives and acyl transfer (Moynihan and Clarke, 2010). These proteins have about 330 aas with about 10 putative TMSs in a possible 5+5 arrangement. This family may be distantly related to TC family 9.B.169.



This family belongs to the Transmembrane Acyl Transferease (TmAT) Superfamily.

9.B.97.7.1

The succinyl transferase, MdoC, OpgC or YmdD (formerly DUF418), is of 385 aas and 10 TMSs. Osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs) of E. coli are anionic oligosaccharides that accumulate in the periplasmic space in response to low osmolarity of the medium. Their anionic character is provided by the substitution of the glucosidic backbone by phosphoglycerol originating from  membrane phospholipids and by succinyl residues from an unknown origin. The mdoC gene is within the mdoGH operon necessary for the synthesis of the OPG backbone (Lacroix et al. 1999). The same is true for Rhodobacter spheroides in which in correspondng operon is the opgGIHC operon (Cogez et al. 2002).
