Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli contains a single periplasmic UDP-glucose hydrolase (5'-nucleotidase) encoded by ushA. Salmonella enterica, serotype Typhimurium, also contains a single UDP-glucose hydrolase but, in contrast to E. coli, it is membrane-bound and is encoded by the non-homologous ushB gene; Salmone...
