DISCOVERY OF THE ELUSIVE UDP-DIACYLGLUCOSAMINE HYDROLASE IN THE LIPID A BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAY IN CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS

Discovery of the Elusive UDP-Diacylglucosamine Hydrolase in the Lipid A Biosynthetic Pathway in Chlamydia trachomatis

ABSTRACT Constitutive biosynthesis of lipid A via the Raetz pathway is essential for the viability and fitness of Gram-negative bacteria, including Chlamydia trachomatis.Although nearly all of the enzymes in the lipid A biosynthetic pathway are highly conserved across Gram-negative bacteria, the cleavage of the pyrophosphate group of UDP-2,3-diacyl
