General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction waaA (monofunctional Kdo transferase) of Haemophilus influenzae can not complement a knockout mutation in the corresponding gene of an Re-type Escherichia coli strain (encoding a bifunctional enzyme that transfers two 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate residues to the lipid A precursor). However, complementation is possible by coexpressing the recombinant waaA together with the LPS-specific KDO kinase gene (kdkA) of Haemophilus influenzae DSM11121 or I69, respectively Escherichia coli
