Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has three transketolase enzymes contributing to the pentose phosphate pathway
30 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
The genus Salmonella is responsible for many illnesses in humans and other vertebrate animals. We report here that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium harbors three transketolases that support the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. BLAST analysis identified two genes, STM14 _ 2885 and STM14 _ 2886 , that together encode a putative transketolase (TktC) with 46–47% similarity to the known...
