Computer-based analyses of the protein constituents of transport systems catalysing export of complex carbohydrates in bacteria
1 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria synthesize and secrete an array of complex carbohydrates including exopolysaccharides (EPSs), capsular polysaccharides (CPSs), lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), lipo-oligosaccharides (LOSs) and teichoic acids (TCAs). We have analysed the families of homologous proteins that appear to mediate excretion of complex carbohydrates into or across the bacterial cell envelope. Two principal families of...
