Campbell R, Mosimann S, van de Rijn I, Tanner M, Strynadka N
Biochemistry . 2000 Jun; 39(23):7012-23. PMID: 10841783
Bacterial UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UDPGlcDH) is essential for formation of the antiphagocytic capsule that protects many virulent bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes andStreptococcus pneumoniae type 3 from the host's immune system....

Bernish B, van de Rijn I
J Biol Chem . 1999 Feb; 274(8):4786-93. PMID: 9988717
Hyaluronic acid production by group A streptococci is regulated by transcriptional control. In this study, transposon mutagenesis of an unencapsulated strain yielded an encapsulated mutant. Two genes homologous to sensors...

Manganelli R, van de Rijn I
Infect Immun . 1998 Dec; 67(1):50-6. PMID: 9864195
Streptococcus defectivus is one of the nutritionally variant streptococci, a class of viridans group streptococci first isolated from patients with endocarditis and otitis media. In previous studies, NVS-47, a clinical...

Sunthankar P, Pastuszak I, Rooke A, Elbein A, van de Rijn I, Canfield W, et al.
Anal Biochem . 1998 May; 258(2):195-201. PMID: 9570829
Nuleotide sugar photoaffinity analogs have proven to be useful in the identification and characterization of glycosyltransferases. A radioenzymatic synthesis of [32P]5-azido-UDP-N-acetylglucosamine has been accomplished using 5-azido-UTP, [gamma-32P]ATP, porcine N-acetylgalactosamine kinase,...

Campbell R, Sala R, van de Rijn I, Tanner M
J Biol Chem . 1997 Feb; 272(6):3416-22. PMID: 9013585
UDP-glucuronic acid is used by many pathogenic bacteria in the construction of an antiphagocytic capsule that is required for virulence. The enzyme UDP-glucose dehydrogenase catalyzes the NAD+-dependent 2-fold oxidation of...

van de Rijn I, Bernish B, Crater D
Adv Exp Med Biol . 1997 Jan; 418:965-9. PMID: 9331811

Crater D, Dougherty B, van de Rijn I
J Biol Chem . 1995 Dec; 270(48):28676-80. PMID: 7499387
Hyaluronic acid is a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating subunits of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. It is synthesized by the group A streptococcal membrane-associated enzyme hyaluronate synthase. In...

Crater D, van de Rijn I
J Biol Chem . 1995 Aug; 270(31):18452-8. PMID: 7629171
The has operon is composed of three genes, hasA, hasB, and hasC that encode hyaluronate synthase, UDP-glucose dehydrogenase, and presumptively UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, respectively. Expression of the has operon was shown...

Dougherty B, van de Rijn I
J Biol Chem . 1994 Jan; 269(1):169-75. PMID: 8276791
The mechanism by which group A streptococci produce the antiphagocytic hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) capsule is incompletely understood. Enzymes known to be essential for synthesis of this polysaccharide include the membrane-associated...
