Origin and evolution of nonulosonic acid synthases and their relationship with bacterial pathogenicity revealed by a large-scale phylogenetic analysis

Nonulosonic acids (NulOs) are a group of nine-carbon monosaccharides with different functions in nature. N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is the most common NulO. It covers the membrane surface of all human cells and is a central molecule in the process of self-recognition via SIGLECS receptors. Som...
