Initiation of methylglucose lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in mycobacteria.

Initiation of methylglucose lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in mycobacteria.

Mycobacteria produce two unique families of cytoplasmic polymethylated polysaccharides -- the methylglucose lipopolysaccharides (MGLPs) and the methylmannose polysaccharides (MMPs) -- the physiological functions of which are still poorly defined. Towards defining the roles of these polysaccharides i...
