Abstract excerpt
The majority of Gram-negative bacteria transfer O antigen polysaccharides onto the lipid A-core oligosaccharide via the action of surface polymer:lipid A-core ligases (WaaL). Here, we characterize the WaaL proteins of Vibrio cholerae with emphasis on structural and functional characterization of O antigen transfer and core oligosaccharide recognition. We demonstrate that the activity of two distantly related O...
