Identification of a conserved GNAT-family lysine acetyltransferase in Streptococcus gordonii involved in biofilm formation and oral colonization
It is demonstrated that SGO_2031, but not SGO_2030, seems to contribute to biofilm formation by modulating the abundance of extracellular polysaccharides within the biofilm matrix, and proposed naming this enzyme Streptococcal Lysine Acetyltransferase A (SktA) after Streptococcus gordonii.
