Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is composed of a homopolymer of O-acetylated, alpha1-->6-linked ManNAc 1-phosphate that is distinct from the capsule structures of the other meningococcal disease-causing serogroups, B, C, Y, and W-135. The serogroup A capsule biosynthetic genetic cassette consists of four open reading frames, mynA-D (sacA-D), that are specific to serogroup A, but...
