Abstract excerpt

In prior studies, through recombinant expression in Mycobacterium smegmatis, the rtfA gene of Mycobacterium avium was shown to encode a rhamnosyltransferase that catalyses the addition of rhamnose (Rha) to the 6-deoxytalose of serovar 2-specific glycopeptidolipid (GPL). Whether RtfA also catalyse...
