HB HfsH Deacetylase

Usage and Biology

The polysaccharide deacetylase HfsH is required for H. baltica adhesion. Holdfast polysaccharides in H. baltica HfsH mutants lack cohesive and adhesive properties. Research instigating Hirschia baltica genome, found that hfsH is in the hfs locus while hfsK and its paralogs are found outside the hfs locus. Colour coding corresponds to homologs and paralogs. Hash marks indicate genes that are found in a different location in the genome. [1] HfsH expression correlates positively with holdfast binding in high ionic strength. HfsH is an important factor for adherence in high ionic-strength environments, adhesion and biofilm formation. It is also crucial for retention of holdfast thiols and galactose monosaccharides. [1]
