Functional analysis of glycosyltransferases encoded by the capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis locus of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 14.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 1 Aug 1997

Kolkman M A, van der Zeijst B A, Nuijten P J

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria belonging to the species Streptococcus pneumoniae vary in their capsule. Presently, 90 capsular serotypes are known, all possessing their own specific polysaccharide structure. Little is known about the biosynthesis of these capsular polysaccharides. The cps locus of S. pneumoniae serotype 14 was cloned. So far, 7 open reading frames have been sequenced, cps14B to cps14H. The gene products are similar to...
