Abstract
Uncovering the function and specificity of enzymes responsible for glycoconjugate biosynthesis traditionally requires a multi-faceted and individually curated approach. This is especially true for bacterial glycoconjugates due to greater monosaccharide diversity and a paucity of established structural information. Here we leverage bioinformatic and in-vitro tools to predict and validate substrate specificity for a unique, exclusively bacterial family of enzymes responsible for the first step in many of these glycan assembly pathways. We further show that this platform is suitable for enhanced functional annotation and inhibitor testing, paving the way for the development of urgently needed antibiotics.
