ESI-IT-MS analysis of cellular nucleotide sugar pools from T. forsythia strains. (A) CMP-activated Pse5Am7Gra (m/z 683.3) was detected in the T. forsythia ATCC 43037 wild-type and in the ΔTanf_01245 mutant, whereas this mass was absent in a Pse biosynthesis deficient strain (ΔpseC) which served as a negative control. (B) In T. forsythia UB4 wild-type and in the ΔTFUB4_00887 mutant, a m/z 654.3 peak was identified, which was attributed to a CMP-activated Leg derivative (CMP-Leg*). This mass is consistent with having Ac and Gc modifications on Leg, based on calculation. Notably, this peak was absent in the Legbiosynthesis deficient strain (ΔlegC) which served as a negative control. Relative peak intensities are given on the y axis.
