Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria Rhizobium leguminosarum by. viciae VF39 secrete an acidic heteropolysaccharide, the biosynthesis of which involves the stage of polyprenyl diphosphate octasaccharide formation, with its carbohydrate fragment corresponding to the repeating polymer unit. The amino acid analysis of the product of the pssA gene, we have earlier identified, showed its homology to bacterial polyisoprenyl phosphate hexose 1-phosphate transferases catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds between polyprenyl phosphates and hexose 1-phosphates, whose donors are nucleotide sugars. The immunoblotting demonstrated that Rhizobium cells synthesize a protein with a molecular mass of 25 kDa, which implies the translation of the open reading frame occurring from the second initiating codon followed by the protein processing. It was shown that PssA is an integral membrane-bound protein involved in glucose 1-phosphate transfer from UDP-glucose to polyprenyl phosphate to form polyprenyl diphosphate glucose. These results suggest that the pssA gene encodes UDP-glucose:polyprenyl phosphate-glucosyl phosphotransferase.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.

D016695 Glycosyltransferases Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glycosyl groups to an acceptor. Most often another carbohydrate molecule acts as an acceptor, but inorganic phosphate can also act as an acceptor, such as in the case of PHOSPHORYLASES. Some of the enzymes in this group also catalyze hydrolysis, which can be regarded as transfer of a glycosyl group from the donor to water. Subclasses include the HEXOSYLTRANSFERASES; PENTOSYLTRANSFERASES; SIALYLTRANSFERASES; and those transferring other glycosyl groups. EC 2.4.
