pfam14109: GldH_lipo (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
GldH lipoprotein
Members of this protein family are predicted lipoproteins, exclusive to the Bacteroidetes phylum. Proteins in this family are typically between 155 and 167 amino acids in length. Members include GldH, a protein linked to a type of rapid surface gliding motility found in certain Bacteroidetes, such as Flavobacterium johnsoniae and Cytophaga hutchinsonii. Gliding motility appears closely linked to chitin utilization in the model species Flavobacterium johnsoniae. Not all Bacteroidetes with members of this protein family may have gliding motility.
