DESCRIPTION

Also known as WBDD2_ECOLX, wbdD, ORF708. Regulates the length of the LPS O-antigen polysaccharide chain. Stops the polymerization of the chain by phosphorylating and then methylating the phosphate on the terminal sugar. This terminal modification is essential for export of the O-antigen across the inner membrane. WbdD is also required for correct localization of the WbdA mannosyltransferase. Interacts with WbdA.
