Streptococcal phosphotransferase system imports unsaturated hyaluronan disaccharide derived from host extracellular matrices

2018-11-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Certain bacterial species target the polysaccharide glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of animal extracellular matrices for colonization and/or infection. GAGs such as hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfate consist of repeating disaccharide units of uronate and amino sugar residues, and are depolymerized to unsaturated disaccharides by bacterial extracellular or cell-surface polysaccharide lyase. The disacch...
