The MltA-interacting protein (MipA) Family [Function: Adhesion] Seed alignment | Full alignment | Pfam page | TC-DB page

This family consists mainly of homologs to MipA and OmpV proteins. In addition to interacting with the membrane-bound lytic transglycosylase MltA, MipA is known to bind to PBP1B, a bifunctional murein transglycosylase/transpeptidase. MipA is considered to be a structural protein mediating the assembly of MltA to PBP1B into a complex. Further, MipA was a novel OM protein related to antibiotic resistance. OmpV, is the Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP) of Vibrio cholerae. Proteins of this family, are predicted to form a ß-barrel.
