Characterization of a Bacterial Kinase That Phosphorylates Dihydrosphingosine to Form dhS1P

ABSTRACT Like other members of the phylum Bacteroidetes, the oral anaerobe Porphyromonas gingivalis synthesizes a variety of sphingolipids, similar to its human host. Studies have shown that synthesis of these lipids (dihydroceramides [DHCs]) is involved in oxidative stress resistance, the survival...
