The capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 8: functional identification of the glycosyltransferase WciS (Cap8H)

CPS (capsular polysaccharide) is a major virulence factor in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Biosynthesis of CPS RU (repeat unit) proceeds by sequential transfer of sugar residues from the appropriate sugar donor to an activated lipid carrier by committed GTs (glycosyltransferases). While the nucleotide s...
