A novel c-di-GMP binding domain in glycosyltransferase BgsA is responsible for the synthesis of a mixed-linkage β-glucan

Abstract BgsA is the glycosyltransferase (GT) involved in the synthesis of a linear mixed-linkage β-glucan (MLG), a recently described exopolysaccharide activated by c-di-GMP in Sinorhizobium meliloti and other Rhizobiales. Although BgsA displays sequence and structural homology with bacterial cellu...
