Research Abstract |
Pathogenic streptococci degrade host extracellular matrices, glycosaminoglycans, to unsaturated uronic acid and amino sugar by polysaccharide lyase and unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase (UGL). Unsaturated uronic acid was found metabolized to 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-gluconic acid through subsequent reaction of Gbs1892 isomerase and Gbs1891 reductase. These enzymes were encoded in the UGL genetic cluster, suggesting that repression of this cluster contributes to establishment of a novel therapy for strectococcal infectious diseases.
