A novel outer membrane protein, Wzi, is involved in surface assembly of the Escherichia coli K30 group 1 capsule.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2003

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli group 1 K antigens form a tightly associated capsule structure on the cell surface. Although the general features of the early steps in capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis have been described, little is known about the later stages that culminate in assembly of a capsular structure on the cell surface. Group 1 capsule biosynthesis gene clusters (cps) in E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae include...
