A Novel Glucosyltransferase Is Required for Glycosylation of a Serine-rich Adhesin and Biofilm Formation by Streptococcus parasanguinis

Fap1-like serine-rich glycoproteins are conserved in streptococci, staphylococci, and lactobacilli, and are required for bacterial biofilm formation and pathogenesis. Glycosylation of Fap1 is mediated by a gene cluster flanking the fap1 locus. The key enzymes responsible for the first step of Fap1 g...
