ID   7.5.2.14
DE   ABC-type homopolymeric O-antigen exporter.
CA   ATP + a lipid-linked O antigencytosol + H2O = ADP + phosphate + a lipid-
CA   linked O antigenperiplasm.
CC   -!- Unlike heteropolymeric O antigens, which are polymerized in the
CC       periplasm by EC 2.4.99.27, homopolymeric O antigens are polymerized
CC       inside the cytoplasm by a progressive transfer of sugar monomers to a
CC       growing chain attached to a polyprenyl diphosphate membrane anchor.
CC   -!- When the chain reaches its full length it is transported across the
CC       cytoplasmic membrane by this ABC-type transporter, which consists of
CC       an ATP-binding subunit (Wzt) and an integral membrane protein (Wzm).
CC   -!- Wzm proteins are poorly conserved in their primary sequence.
CC   -!- Once in the periplasm, the O antigen is ligated to the lipid A-core
CC       complex by EC 2.4.99.26.
