Abstract excerpt
The rfaD gene of Escherichia coli encodes ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose-6- epimerase, an enzyme required for the biosynthesis of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) precursor ADP-L-glycero-D- mannoheptose, associated with production of the core oligosaccharide. We have identified an rfaD homologue in Vibrio cholerae O1. This gene maps adjacent to the rfb region encoding O-antigen biosynthesis, but is transcribed...
