Abstract

Deletion of M. marinum MMAR2333 resulted in the loss of three of four subclasses of lipooligosaccharides. The mutant was unable to extend an intermediate (LOS-II*) by addition of caryophyllose. These data and predicted domain structure suggest that MMAR2333 is a glycosyltransferase involved in the generation of a lipid-linked caryophyllose donor.
