Disease relevance of lpcA

Expression of the lpc genes individually behind the T7 promoter results in the production of each R. leguminosarum glycosyltransferase in E. coli membranes in a catalytically active form, demonstrating that lpcA, lpcB, and lpcC are structural genes [1].

High impact information on lpcA

A search for open reading frames (ORFs) and the analysis of possible codon usage in the intercistronic region indicate the absence of an additional gene (lpcA) between pepD and gpt [2].
