The wzz (cld) protein in Escherichia coli: amino acid sequence variation determines O-antigen chain length specificity.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 1998

Franco A V, Liu D, Reeves P R

Abstract excerpt

The O antigen is a polymer with a repeated unit. The chain length in most Escherichia coli strains has a modal value of 10 to 18 O units, but other strains have higher or lower modal values. wzz (cld/rol) mutants have a random chain length distribution, showing that the modal distribution is determined by the Wzz protein. Cloned wzz genes from E. coli strains with short (7 to 16), intermediate (10 to 18), and...
