The retaining β-Kdo glycosyltransferase WbbB uses a double-displacement mechanism with an intermediate adduct rearrangement step

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
WbbB is a structurally unusual retaining glycosyltransferase. Here, the authors show that WbbB forms an Asp232-Kdo adduct prior to transfer to the saccharide acceptor.
