Diversity of o-antigen repeat unit structures can account for the substantial sequence variation of wzx translocases.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2014

Hong Yaoqin, Reeves Peter R

Abstract excerpt

The most common system for synthesis of cell surface polysaccharides is the Wzx/Wzy-dependent pathway, which involves synthesis, on the cytoplasmic face of the cell membrane, of repeat units, which are then translocated to the periplasmic face by a Wzx translocase and then polymerized by Wzy to generate the polysaccharide. One such polysaccharide is O antigen, which is incorporated into lipopolysaccharide (LPS)....
