TL;DR

The findings suggest that out of six identified GTFs in A. waqarii and A. iqraium, five are putative glucansucrases while AwGTF3, contain a tryptophan residue in place of glycine, may function as a branching sucrase, and further studies involving recombinant gene expression and functional characterization could reveal detailed structure–function relationship of these enzymes.

Identification of cellular intermediates unveils unique enzymes for flagellar glycan biosynthesis in Clostridioides difficile.

This study chemically synthesized two hitherto undescribed biosynthetic intermediates that were predicted based on bioinformatic analyses, CDP-threonine and CDP-N-methylthreonine, and showed that they are involved in the Type A PGM biosynthesis, as evidenced by mass spectrometric analyses of extracts of a set of C. dif...
