Functional characterization of MigA and WapR: putative rhamnosyltransferases involved in outer core oligosaccharide biosynthesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contains two glycoforms of core oligosaccharide (OS); one form is capped with O antigen through an alpha-1,3-linked L-rhamnose (L-Rha), while the other is uncapped and contains an alpha-1,6-linked L-Rha. Two genes in strain PAO1, wapR (PA5000) and migA (PA0705), encode putative glycosyltransferases associated with core biosynthesis. We propose that WapR and MigA are...
