Identification of cellular intermediates unveils unique enzymes for flagellar glycan biosynthesis in Clostridioides difficile.
This study chemically synthesized two hitherto undescribed biosynthetic intermediates that were predicted based on bioinformatic analyses, CDP-threonine and CDP-N-methylthreonine, and showed that they are involved in the Type A PGM biosynthesis, as evidenced by mass spectrometric analyses of extracts of a set of C. dif...
