2.A.66.2.12
Isoprenoid lipid sugar glycan flippase, Wzx (note: Wzx forms a complex with Wzy and Wzz for assembly of periplasmic O-antigen) (Marolda et al., 2006). Wzx has a 12 TMS topology (Cunneen and Reeves, 2008). WzyE (450aas; 12 TMSs; TC#9.B.128.1.1; B614D1) is called the enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) polysaccharide chain elongation polymerase (Marolda et al., 2006). The structure of Wzz has been determined by cryoEM (Collins et al. 2017).
