Periplasmic depolymerase provides insight into ABC transporter-dependent secretion of bacterial capsular polysaccharides
Capsules are surface layers of hydrated capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) produced by many bacteria. The human pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi produces "Vi antigen" CPS, which contributes to virulence. In a conserved strategy used by bacteria with diverse CPS structures, transloca...
