WaaL is a membrane enzyme that catalyzes the glycosidic bonding of a sugar at the proximal end of the undecaprenyl-diphosphate (Und-PP)-O-antigen with a terminal sugar of the lipid A-core oligosaccharide (OS). This is a critical step in lipopolysaccharide synthesis. We describe here an assay to perform the ligation reaction in vitro utilizing native substrates.
WaaL是一种膜酶,它催化十一异戊二烯二磷酸(Und-PP)-O抗原近端的糖与脂多糖核心寡糖(OS)的末端糖之间的糖苷键形成。这是脂多糖合成中的关键步骤。我们在此描述一种利用天然底物在体外进行连接反应的测定方法。
