| PF04339 | Peptidogalycan biosysnthesis/recognition | family |
FemAB_like is a family of both baterial and Viridiplantae proteins with responsibility for building interpeptide bridges in peptidoglycan. Such a function is feasible for bacteria but less likely for the plant members of this family. Perhaps the plant-members are using homologous proteins to recognise bacterial peptidoglcans as part of their innate immune system [1].
