Disease relevance of kpsT

 

High impact information on kpsT

  • The results obtained from chemical mutagenesis of kpsT are consistent with the model and revealed characteristics particular to capsule transporters [2].
  • Region 3 contains two genes, kpsM and kpsT, essential for the transport of capsule polymer across the cytoplasmic membrane [3].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of kpsT

  • To study the role of KpsT in polySia translocation, we used PCR mutagenesis to isolate dominant negative mutations of plasmid-encoded kpsT [4].
