Pneumococcal <i>licD2</i> gene is involved in phosphorylcholine metabolism

1 Mar 1999

Abstract excerpt

Phosphorylcholine is an important bioactive adduct to the teichoic acid (TA) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of the surface of Streptococcus pneumoniae. We have identified and characterized a genetic locus lic that is required for phosphorylcholine metabolism in S. pneumoniae. The pneumococcal lic locus consists of eight genes, licA, licB, licC and licD1, licD2 and three additional open reading frames. Pneumococcal...
