Bacteroides expand the functional versatility of a conserved transcription factor and transcribed DNA to program capsule diversity
Abstract The genomes of human gut bacteria in the genus Bacteroides include numerous operons for biosynthesis of diverse capsular polysaccharides (CPSs). The first two genes of each CPS operon encode a locus-specific paralog of transcription elongation factor NusG (called UpxY), which enhances trans...
