Homology among Escherichia coli K1 and K92 polysialytransferases.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1992

Vimr E R, Bergstrom R, Steenbergen S M, Boulnois G, Roberts I

Abstract excerpt

The neuS-encoded polysialytransferase (polyST) in Escherichia coli K1 catalyzes synthesis of polysialic acid homopolymers composed of unbranched sialyl alpha 2,8 linkages. Subcloning and complementation experiments showed that the K1 neuS was functionally interchangeable with the neuS from E. coli K92 (S. M. Steenbergen, T. J. Wrona, and E. R. Vimr, J. Bacteriol. 174:1099-1108, 1992), which synthesizes polysialic...
