Functional characterization of WaaL, a ligase associated with linking O-antigen polysaccharide to the core of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2005

Abeyrathne Priyanka D, Daniels Craig, Poon Karen K H, Matewish Mauricia J, Lam Joseph S

Abstract excerpt

The O antigen of Pseudomonas aeruginosa B-band lipopolysaccharide is synthesized by assembling O-antigen-repeat units at the cytoplasmic face of the inner membrane by nonprocessive glycosyltransferases, followed by polymerization on the periplasmic face. The completed chains are covalently attach...
