UniProt functional annotation for P75906

UniProt code: P75906.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Catalyzes the N-deacetylation of poly-beta-1,6-N-acetyl-D- glucosamine (PGA), a biofilm adhesin polysaccharide. N-deacetylation promotes PGA export through the PgaA porin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15090514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18359807}.
 
Subcellular location: Cell outer membrane {ECO:0000305|PubMed:18359807}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305|PubMed:18359807}; Periplasmic side {ECO:0000305|PubMed:18359807}.
Domain: Contains a N-terminal polysaccharide deacetylase domain, and a C-terminal domain required for PGA N-deacetylation that may be involved in binding to unmodified poly-beta-1,6-GlcNAc and thereby assists catalysis by the deacetylase domain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18359807}.
Disruption phenotype: Deletion of pgaB does not prevent PGA synthesis but does block its export and biofilm formation. The synthesized PGA is retained in the periplasm and accumulates at the cell poles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15090514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18359807}.
Similarity: Belongs to the polysaccharide deacetylase family. {ECO:0000305}.
