Title
Analysis of Campylobacter jejuni capsular loci reveals multiple mechanisms for the generation of structural diversity and the ability to form complex heptoses.
The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of GDP-D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptose, which is required for assembly of S-layer glycoprotein in some Gram-positive bacteria.
