Most Gram-negative bacteria synthesize osmo-regulated periplasmic glucans (OPG) in the periplasm
22 or extracellular space. Many pathogens lose their pathogenicity by knocking out opgG, an OPG23
related gene indispensable for OPG synthesis. However, the biochemical functions of OpgG and OpgD,
24 a paralog of OpgG, have not been elucidated. In this report, structural and functional analyses of OpgG
25 and OpgD from Escherichia coli revealed ...
