Function of the rfb gene cluster and the rfe gene in the synthesis of O antigen by Shigella dysenteriae 1.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 1993

Klena J D, Schnaitman C A

Abstract excerpt

A plasmid that included both an 8.9 kb chromosomal DNA insert containing genes from the rfb cluster of Shigella dysenteriae 1 and a smaller insert containing the rfp gene from a S. dysenteriae 1 multicopy plasmid resulted in efficient expression of O antigen in an rfb-deleted strain of Escherichia coli K-12. Eight genes were identified in the rfb fragment: the rfbB-CAD cluster which encodes dTDP-rhamnose...
