Abstract excerpt
Lipochitooligosaccharides (LCOs) synthesized by Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 are substituted at the nonreducing-terminal residue with a 6-O-carbamoyl group. LCO biosynthesis in A. caulinodans is dependent on the nodABCSUIJZnoeC operon. Until now, the role of the nodulation protein NodU in the synthesis of azorhizobial LCOs remained unclear. Based on sequence similarities and structural analysis of LCOs...
