Primary structure of the Escherichia coli serotype K30 capsular polysaccharide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methylation, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and bacteriophage degradation results indicate that the Escherichia coli serotype K30 capsular polysaccharide consists of leads to 2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1 leads to 3)-beta-D-Galp-(1 leads to chains carrying beta-D-GlcUAp-(1 leads to 3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1 leads to branches at position 3 of the mannoses.

Cloning and Analysis of Duplicated rJbM and rJbK Genes Involved in the Formation of GDP-Mannose in Eschenrchia coli
The rfbg,, gene cluster, which is responsible for the synthesis of the lipopolysaccharide 09 antigen, was cloned from Escherichia coi 09:130. The gnd gene, encoding 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, was identified adjacent to the rJb09 cluster, and by DNA sequence analysis the gene order gnd-rJbM-rjbK was established. This order differs from that described for other members of the family Entero...
متن کاملTranslocation of group 1 capsular polysaccharide to the surface of Escherichia coli requires a multimeric complex in the outer membrane.
Surface expression of the group 1 K30 capsular polysaccharide of Escherichia coli strain E69 (O9a:K30) requires Wza(K30), a member of the outer membrane auxiliary (OMA) protein family. A mutation in wza(K30) severely restricts the formation of the K30 capsular structure on the cell surface, but does not interfere with the biosynthesis or polymerization of the K30 repeat unit. Here we show that ...

Abstract Background and objectives: important virulence factor for many invasive bacterial pathogens of humans. Escherichia coli offer a model system to study the mechanisms by which capsular polysaccharides are synthesized and exported onto the cell surface of bacteria. Biosynthesis of the E consists of the repeat structure -4) GlcA- (1, 4)-GlcNAc- (1-, requires the KfiA,...
متن کاملPrimary structure of the Escherichia coli serotype K42 capsular polysaccharide and its serological identity with the Klebsiella K63 polysaccharide.
The Escherichia coli K42 capsular polysaccharide consists of leads to 3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1 leads to 3)-alpha-D-GalUAp-(1 leads to 3)-alpha-L-Fucp-(1 leads to repeating units. The E. coli K42 and Klebsiella K63 antigens are serologically identical.
متن کاملPolymorphism, duplication, and IS1-mediated rearrangement in the chromosomal his-rfb-gnd region of Escherichia coli strains with group IA and capsular K antigens.
Individual Escherichia coli strains produce several cell surface polysaccharides. In E. coli E69, the his region of the chromosome contains the rfb (serotype O9 lipopolysaccharide O-antigen biosynthesis) and cps (serotype K30 group IA capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis) loci. Polymorphisms in this region of the Escherichia coli chromosome reflect extensive antigenic diversity in the species. ...
