O-antigen structural variation: mechanisms and possible roles in animal/plant-microbe interactions.

FEMS microbiology reviews - 1 Mar 2002

Lerouge Inge, Vanderleyden Jos

Abstract excerpt

Current data from bacterial pathogens of animals and from bacterial symbionts of plants support some of the more general proposed functions for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and underline the importance of LPS structural versatility and adaptability. Most of the structural heterogeneity of LPS molecules is found in the O-antigen polysaccharide. In this review, the role and mechanisms of this striking flexibility in...
