Dysregulation of a nucleotidyltransferase induces division and surface glycan defects in Escherichia coli by altering related metabolite levels

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 1, January 2026. <br/>SignificanceBacterial nucleotidyltransferases synthesize precursors for virulence factors like surface polysaccharides and often are regulated via feedback inhibition. Modulation of nucleotidyltransferase activity and modes of regulation can lead to …
