Mechanism of polysialic acid chain elongation in Escherichia coli K1.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 1990

Steenbergen S M, Vimr E R

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the mechanisms of polysialic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli K1 requires a molecular description of the polymerase complex. Since the number of potential models explaining polysialic acid assembly would be constrained if only one sialyltransferase were required for this process, the phenotypes of a sialyltransferase null mutation generated by transposon mutagenesis were investigated. The...
