<i>lpt6</i> , a Gene Required for Addition of Phosphoethanolamine to Inner-Core Lipopolysaccharide of <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> and <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i>
13 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
We previously described a gene, lpt3, required for the addition of phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) at the 3 position on the beta-chain heptose (HepII) of the inner-core Neisseria meningitidis lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but it has long been recognized that the inner-core LPS of some strains possesses PEtn at the 6 position (PEtn-6) on HepII. We have now identified a gene, lpt6 (NMA0408), that is required for the...
