Figure 9. Assimilation and catabolic pathway of Neu5Ac, 2,3-EN and 2,7-AN in E. coli K12.

Figure 9

Metabolites are designated by red and proteins by black lettering. Most of these proteins are encoded in three gene clusters: nanATEK-yhcH, yjhBC and nanCMS. Expression of these clusters are regulated by the repressor NanR located immediately upstream of nanA. Of note, sialidases are not present in E. coli.
