Summary
Mutants have elevated OM vesiculation (McBroom, 2006). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG11295]. WzzE is responsible for regulating the length of phosphoglyceride-linked Enterobacterial Common Antigen (ECAPG) polysaccharide chains formed from polymerization by WzyE utilizing Lipid III in the periplasm. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11295].

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. WzzE is not involved in the synthesis of lipopolysaccharide but participates in the pathogenic process.

  2. E.coli WzzB and WzzE Polysaccharide Copolymerases form octameric homo-oligomeric complexes.

  3. Results suggest that the regions predicted to be coiled coils are important for Wzz function because they maintain the native conformation of the protein, although the existence of coiled coils could not be demonstrated experimentally.
