Many bacteria decorate flagellin with sialic acid-like sugars such as pseudaminic acid (Pse) by O-glycosylation on serine or threonine residues. Evidence for sufficiency of sialylation by a conserved flagellin glycosyltransferase (fGT) system is lacking, presumably because of (a) missing component(s...
