Tandem repeats of the tetramer 5'-CAAT-3' present in lic2A are required for phase variation but not lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in Haemophilus influenzae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 1996

High N J, Jennings M P, Moxon E R

Abstract excerpt

A novel lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis gene, lic2B, which is required for the biosynthesis of a phase-variable LPS structure expressed by Haemophilus influenzae RM7004 is described. The product of this gene is homologous to Lic2A and the recently described LPS biosynthetic enzymes, LgtB from Neisseria gonorrhoea and LgtE from Neisseria meningitidis, and LpsA from Pasteurella haemolytica. Of this family of...
