Disease relevance of ygjD

We show that ygjD and its ortholog ydiE are essential in E. coli and B. subtilis, respectively [1].
The gene ygjD, encoding a sialoglycoprotease, was eliminated from a minimal genome computationally derived from a comparison of the Haemophilus influenzae and M. genitalium genomes [1].
The putative glycoprotease encoded by the gcp gene might be responsible for the degradation of cyanophycin in Synechocystis [2].
We performed cDNA and genomic cloning, sequencing and promoter analysis of the putative human O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase gene OSGEP (a homologue of gcp, a Pasteurella haemolytica A1 glycoprotease) [3].

High impact information on ygjD

This deletion affected four open reading frames: a gcp gene homolog, the psaFJ genes, and an unknown gene [2].
When the cloned gcp gene is expressed in Escherichia coli, the recombinant glycoprotease (rGcp) is exported to the periplasm but does not exhibit enzymatic activity [4].
The O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase (glycoprotease, Gcp) is secreted by Pasteurella haemolytica A1, a Gram-negative pathogen associated with bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis [4].
