This is the first characterization of a Kdo hydrolase involved in the modification of gram-negative bacterial LPS. Enzymatic removal of the Kdo group was dependent upon prior removal of the 1-phosphate group from the lipid A domain, and mass spectrometric analysis of the reaction product confirmed the enzymatic removal of a single Kdo residue by the Kdo-trimming enzyme. pylori capable of removing the outer Kdo sugar from Kdo 2-lipid A. In the present work we report the discovery of a Kdo hydrolase in membranes of H. pylori WaaA is a bifunctional enzyme transferring two Kdo sugars to the tetra-acylated lipid A precursor lipid IV A. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, using an in vitro assay system we demonstrate that H.

In Christianity, Sabellianism is the Western Church equivalent to Patripassianism in the Eastern Church, which are both forms of theological modalism. ![]() For other uses, see Sabellian (disambiguation). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lanyon, an old friend of Jekyll's who has had a falling out with Jekyll over what he considers to be his old friend's unscientific methods.
