A eukaryotic capsular polysaccharide is synthesized intracellularly and secreted via exocytosis.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Dec 2006

Yoneda Aki, Doering Tamara L

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans, which causes fatal infection in immunocompromised individuals, has an elaborate polysaccharide capsule surrounding its cell wall. The cryptococcal capsule is the major virulence factor of this fungal organism, but its biosynthetic pathways are virtually unknown. Extracell...
