Role of a membranous sialyltransferase complex in the synthesis of surface polymers containing polysialic acid in Escherichia coli. Temperature-induced alteration in …
FA Troy, MA McCloskey - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1979 - ASBMB
Membrane-associated sialyltransferase complexes of Escherichia coli K-235 catalyze the
synthesis of sialyl polymers which remain associated with the cell envelope. Sialyl
monophosphorylundecaprenol is an intermediate in the formation of these unique surface
structures, and fluidity of the lipid phase is required for the proper function of the enzyme
complex (Troy, FA, Vijay, IK, and Tesche, N.(1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 156-163, 164-170). In
membranes containing an increased unsaturated fatty acid content of the phospholipids …
