Analysis of putative nonulosonic acid biosynthesis pathways in Archaea reveals a complex evolutionary history

Abstract Sialic acids and the other nonulosonic acid sugars, legionaminic acid and pseudaminic acid, are nine carbon-containing sugars that can be detected as components of the glycans decorating proteins and other molecules in Eukarya and Bacteria. Yet, despite the prevalence of N-glycosylation in...
