Identification of an α-(1→6)-Mannosyltransferase Contributing To Biosynthesis of the Fungal-Type Galactomannan α-Core-Mannan Structure in Aspergillus fumigatus

ABSTRACT Fungal-type galactomannan, a cell wall component of Aspergillus fumigatus, is composed of α-(1→2)-/α-(1→6)-linked mannan and β-(1→5)-/β-(1→6)-linked galactofuran side chains. Recently, CmsA and CmsB were identified as the α-(1→2)-mannosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of the α-co...
