Fig. 3From: Comparative genomics of human Lactobacillus crispatus isolates reveals genes for glycosylation and glycogen degradation: implications for in vivo dominance of the vaginal microbiotaSchematic overview of how the glycosyltransferase fragments align to the Lactobacillus crispatus 125-2-CHN reference genome. The first fragment comprises the conserved glycosyltransferase family 2 domain with catalytic activity. The shorter second and third fragments most probably do not harbor any catalytic GT activity. We hypothesize that these two fragments play a role in steering the specific activity of the GT (e.g., towards donor or substrate specificity).
