The identification of cryptic rhamnose biosynthesis genes in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and their relationship to lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1994

Robertson B D, Frosch M, van Putten J P

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae synthesizes a rough lipopolysaccharide that does not contain any of the repetitive units characteristic of the smooth lipopolysaccharide of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Three gonococcal homologs of Salmonella serovar typhimurium genes involved in the synthesis of the rhamnose component of the repetitive subunits have been isolated. Gonococcal homologs for rfbB, rfbA, and rfbD...
