Extended Data Fig. 1. Polyprenyl-phosphate lipids are universal transporters of surface glycopolymers.

Extended Data Fig. 1

Schematic illustrating the glycopolymers and sugar modifications that are assembled on undecaprenyl-phosphate (UndP) in bacteria and on dolichol-phosphate (DolP) in archaea and eukaryotes. Although an oligosaccharide carried on DolP is shown, some eukaryotes use the pyrophosphate carrier (DolPP).
