A Combination of Structural, Genetic, Phenotypic and Enzymatic Analyses Reveals the Importance of a Predicted Fucosyltransferase to Protein <i>O</i>-Glycosylation in the Bacteroidetes

A Combination of Structural, Genetic, Phenotypic and Enzymatic Analyses Reveals the Importance of a Predicted Fucosyltransferase to Protein <i>O</i>-Glycosylation in the Bacteroidetes

Diverse members of the Bacteroidetes phylum have general protein <i>O</i>-glycosylation systems that are essential for processes such as host colonization and pathogenesis. Here, we analyzed the function of a putative fucosyltransferase (FucT) family that is widely encoded in Bacteroidet...
