Popis: Bioinformatic analysis of lp_2714 from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 demonstrates that it encodes an EAL-domain protein associated with a membrane targeting signal-sequence. Comparison of the predicted primary amino-acid sequence of Lp_2714 shows that it lacks critical catalytic residues and heterologous expression has determined that it does not encode a functional phosphodiesterase. We designate Lp_2714 as a class-3 EAL domain protein probably involved in regulating polysaccharide synthesis on the cell surface the cell.
