Characterization of a cluster of three glycosyltransferase enzymes essential for Moraxella catarrhalis lipooligosaccharide assembly.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2005

Edwards Katie J, Allen Simon, Gibson Bradford W, Campagnari Anthony A

Abstract excerpt

Moraxella catarrhalis isolates express lipooligosaccharide (LOS) molecules on their surface, which share epitopes similar to that of the Neisseria and Haemophilus species. These common LOS epitopes have been implicated in various steps of pathogenesis for the different organisms. In this study, a cluster of three LOS glycosyltransferase genes (lgt) were identified in M. catarrhalis 7169, a strain that produces a...
