General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction mutation of the enzyme results in lipopolysaccharide truncated immediately after the inner core heptose residues, which serve as the sites for phosphorylation. Mutation of waaG also destabilized the outer membrane. Structural analyses of waaG mutant lipopolysaccharide shows that the cause for this phenotype is a decrease in core phosphorylation Escherichia coli
