The intracellular expression of the K5 lyase enzyme, which degrades the K5 polysaccharide, decreased cell surface expression of the Escherichia coli K5 capsule. This indicates that biosynthesis of K5 polysaccharide in the cytoplasm is accessible to the action of K5 lyase and is not synthesized within a protected cytoplasmic compartment.
降解K5多糖的K5裂解酶的细胞内表达降低了大肠杆菌K5荚膜的细胞表面表达。这表明细胞质中K5多糖的生物合成可被K5裂解酶作用,且不是在受保护的细胞质区室中合成的。
