1.
The transport of group 2 capsular polysaccharides across the periplasmic space in Escherichia coli. Roles for the KpsE and KpsD proteins
Arrecubieta C, Hammarton T, Barrett B, Chareonsudjai S, Hodson N, Rainey D, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2000 Nov; 276(6):4245-50. PMID: 11078739
The cell surface expression of group 2 capsular polysaccharides involves the translocation of the polysaccharide from its site of synthesis on the inner face of the cytoplasmic membrane onto the...
2.
A functional analysis of the Streptococcus pneumoniae genes involved in the synthesis of type 1 and type 3 capsular polysaccharides
Garcia E, Arrecubieta C, Munoz R, Mollerach M, Lopez R
Microb Drug Resist . 1997 Apr; 3(1):73-88. PMID: 9109098
Type 3 pneumococci produce a capsule composed of cellobiuronic acid units connected in a beta (1-->3) linkage. Cellobiuronic acid is a disaccharide consisting of D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) beta (1-->4) linked...
3.
Type 3-specific synthase of Streptococcus pneumoniae (Cap3B) directs type 3 polysaccharide biosynthesis in Escherichia coli and in pneumococcal strains of different serotypes
Arrecubieta C, Lopez R, Garcia E
J Exp Med . 1996 Aug; 184(2):449-55. PMID: 8760798
The cap3B gene, which is involved in the formation of the capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 3, encodes a 49-kD protein that has been identified as a polysaccharide synthase. Escherichia...
4.
The lytA gene and the DNA region located downstream of this gene are not involved in the formation of the type 3 capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Garcia E, Arrecubieta C, Lopez R
Curr Microbiol . 1996 Aug; 33(2):133-5. PMID: 8662175
Streptococcus pneumoniae strain M31, an unencapsulated, serotype 2 (S2(-)) mutant having a deletion of at least 5.5 kb containing the gene lytA that encodes the main pneumococcal autolysin, was transformed...
5.
Demonstration of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase activity in cell extracts of Escherichia coli expressing the pneumococcal cap3A gene required for the synthesis of type 3 capsular polysaccharide
Arrecubieta C, Garcia E, Lopez R
J Bacteriol . 1996 May; 178(10):2971-4. PMID: 8631689
The gene cluster of Streptococcus pneumoniae coding for the type 3 capsular polysaccharide contains four genes (cap3ABCD). A DNA fragment containing the cap3A gene was amplified by PCR and cloned...
6.
Sequence and transcriptional analysis of a DNA region involved in the production of capsular polysaccharide in Streptococcus pneumoniae type 3
Arrecubieta C, Garcia E, Lopez R
Gene . 1995 Dec; 167(1-2):1-7. PMID: 8566758
The nucleotide (nt) sequence of a 9704-bp EcoRI fragment of Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) type-3 DNA has been determined and found to contain one partial and five complete open reading frames...
7.
Molecular characterization of cap3A, a gene from the operon required for the synthesis of the capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 3: sequencing of mutations responsible for the unencapsulated phenotype and localization of the capsular cluster...
Arrecubieta C, Lopez R, Garcia E
J Bacteriol . 1994 Oct; 176(20):6375-83. PMID: 7929009
The complete nucleotide sequence of the cap3A gene of Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is directly responsible for the transformation of some unencapsulated, serotype 3 mutants to the encapsulated phenotype, has been...
