Expression of sialyltransferase is not required for interaction of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with human epithelial cells and human neutrophils.

Infection and immunity - 1 Oct 1996

McGee D J, Chen G C, Rest R F

Abstract excerpt

Sialyltransferase (Stase) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae organisms (gonococci [GC]) transfers sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid [NANA]) from cytidine 5'-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NANA) mainly to the terminal galactose (Gal) residue in the Gal beta-1,4 N-acetylglucosamine (Gal-GlcNAc)-R lipooligosaccharide (LOS) structure. Sialylated GC resist killing by normal human serum, sometimes show reduced...
