Abstract

In serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis , the cssA ( siaA ) gene codes for an UDP- N -acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase that catalyzes the conversion of UDP- N -acetyl-α- d -glucosamine into N -acetyl- d -mannosamine and UDP in the first step in sialic acid biosynthesis. This enzyme is required for the biosynthesis of the (α2→9)-linked polysialic acid capsule and for lipooligosaccharide (LOS) sialylation.
