Specificity and modularity of flagellin nonulosonic acid glycosyltransferases

Publication date2021-11-12

Abstract

Many bacterial flagella are specifically O-glycosylated with nonulosonic acids, including the sialic acid derivatives, pseudaminic acid or legionaminic acid. Unlike protein glycosyltransferases that are extracytoplasmic, flagellin glycosyltransferases (fGTs) act cytoplasmically with unknown donor or acceptor specificities. The recent reconstitution of fGT-based glycosylation in heterologous hosts enables analyses underpinning such specificity.
