Abstract excerpt
The export of large negatively charged capsular polysaccharides across the outer membrane represents a significant challenge to Gram negative bacteria. In the case of Escherichia coli group 2 capsular polysaccharides, the mechanism of export across the outer membrane was unknown, with no identified candidate outer membrane proteins. In this paper we demonstrate that the KpsD protein, previously believed to be a...
