Identification of a two-component fatty acid kinase responsible for host fatty acid incorporation by Staphylococcus aureus.

abstract：:beta1,4-Galactosyltransferase (beta4GalT-I) participates in both glycoconjugate biosynthesis (ubiquitous activity) and lactose biosynthesis (mammary gland-specific activity). In somatic tissues, transcription of the mammalian beta4GalT-I gene results in a 4.1-kb mRNA and a 3.9-kb mRNA as a consequence of initiation at...
