| Description | The GtrA family proteins are involved in various glycosylation processes essential for bacterial cell wall integrity and function. Members of this family participate in the translocation of bactoprenol-linked glucose across the cytoplasmic membrane, a critical step in O antigen modification. Some proteins within the GtrA family are also implicated in the decoration of cell wall teichoic acid with galactose and glucose, contributing to the structural diversity and functionality of the bacterial cell envelope. Additionally, certain GtrA family members act as anchor proteins that recruit arabinosyl transferases for the arabinosylation of arabinogalactan, a vital component of the mycobacterial cell wall. This recruitment is crucial for the biosynthesis of arabinogalactan, highlighting the family's role in maintaining cell wall architecture and integrity. | Name | Bacterial Cell Wall Glycosylation GtrA |
