In the present study, the structure of strain SK144 RPS was established by high resolution NMR spectroscopy as [6Gal\n            <jats:italic>f<\/jats:italic>\n            \u03b21-6GalNAc\u03b21-3Gal\u03b11-2ribitol-5-PO\n            <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n            <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            -6Gal\n            <jats:italic>f<\/jats:italic>\n            \u03b21-3Gal\u03b21]\n            <jats:sub>n<\/jats:sub>\n            , thereby indicating that this polysaccharide and the previously characterized RPS of strain C104 are identical, except for the linkage between Gal and ribitol-5-phosphate, which is \u03b11-2 in strain SK144 versus \u03b11-1 in strain C104. Studies to define the molecular basis of RPS structure revealed comparable genes for six putative transferases and a polymerase in the\n            <jats:italic>rps<\/jats:italic>\n            loci of these streptococci. Cell surface RPS production was abolished by disrupting the gene for the first transferase of strain C104 with a nonpolar\n            <jats:italic>erm<\/jats:italic>\n            cassette. It was restored in the resulting mutant by plasmid-based expression of either\n            <jats:italic>wcjG<\/jats:italic>\n            , the corresponding gene of\n            <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            for serotype 10A capsular polysaccharide (CPS) biosynthesis or\n            <jats:italic>wbaP<\/jats:italic>\n            for the transferase of\n            <jats:italic>Salmonella enterica<\/jats:italic>\n            that initiates O-polysaccharide biosynthesis. Thus, WcjG, like WbaP, appears to initiate polysaccharide biosynthesis by transferring galactose-1-phosphate to a lipid carrier. In further studies, the structure of strain C104 RPS was converted to that of strain SK144 by replacing the gene (\n            <jats:italic>wefM<\/jats:italic>\n            ) for the fourth transferase in the\n            <jats:italic>rps<\/jats:italic>\n            locus of strain C104 with the corresponding gene (\n            <jats:italic>wcrC<\/jats:italic>\n            ) of strain SK144 or\n            <jats:italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            serotype 10A. These findings identify genetic markers for the different ribitol-5-phosphate-containing types of RPS present in\n            <jats:italic>S. oralis<\/jats:italic>\n            and establish a close relationship between these polysaccharides and serogroup 10 CPSs of\n            <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            .\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.01532-08","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,17]],"date-time":"2009-01-17T02:28:34Z","timestamp":1232159314000},"page":"1891-1900","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Comparative Structural and Molecular Characterization of Ribitol-5-Phosphate-Containing\n            <i>Streptococcus oralis<\/i>\n            Coaggregation Receptor Polysaccharides"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"191","author":[{"given":"Jinghua","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Infection and Immunity Branch, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda Maryland 20892"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Ritchey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, Maryland 21250"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuo","family":"Yoshida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, School of Dentistry, Iwate Medical University, 1-3-27 Chuo-dori, Morioka, Iwate 020-8505, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.
