The role of galE in the biosynthesis and function of gonococcal lipopolysaccharide.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 1993

Robertson B D, Frosch M, van Putten J P

Abstract excerpt

Lipopolysaccharide is an essential component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and an important virulence factor of many pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae. We have cloned the gonococcal galE gene which was found to be located in the gonococcal homologue of the meningococcal capsule gene complex region D. Sequence alignment indicated extensive homology with the Escherichia coli and Salmonella...
