Structural insights into WcbI, a novel polysaccharide-biosynthesis enzyme

Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are protective structures on the surfaces of many Gram-negative bacteria. The principal CPS of the human pathogen and Tier 1 select agent Burkholderia pseudomallei consists of a linear repeat of –3)-2-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-β-d-manno-heptopyranose-(1–. This CPS is critical...
