(a) Sialic acid acetylesterases remove the acetyl groups from various sialylated glycoproteins and glycolipids. (b) Genomic context of PvSAE from P. vulgatus. Locus tags are given above the arrows and the predicted annotation is given below. Genes that are predicted to be esterases are highlighted in blue, while glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are highlighted in green and SusC-like and SusD-like proteins are shown in black. Genes are not shown to scale. |
