CapE, a 47-amino-acid peptide, is necessary for Bacillus anthracis polyglutamate capsule synthesis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 2005

Candela Thomas, Mock Michèle, Fouet Agnès

Abstract excerpt

Polyglutamate is found in various bacteria, but displays different functions depending on the species and their environment. Here, we describe a minimal polyglutamate synthesis system in Bacillus anthracis. In addition to the three genes previously described as sufficient for polyglutamate synthesis, this system includes a small open reading frame, capE, belonging to the cap operon. The polyglutamate system's...
