High impact information on exoQ

  • The products of the exoP, exoQ, and exoT genes are required for polymerization of the octasaccharide subunits or transport of the completed polymer [1].
  • In a previous study of the roles of the various exo gene products in succinoglycan biosynthesis, exoP, exoQ, and exoT mutants were found to synthesize undecaprenol-linked fully modified succinoglycan octasaccharide subunits, suggesting possible roles for their gene products in polymerization or transport [2].
  • Plasmid integration mutagenesis revealed that the genes exoY, exoF, and exoQ are organized in an operon [3].
