Figure 6.
The sChok pathway and how it fits into the overall process of teichoic acid assembly. PCho molecules (purple) are transferred from CDP-Cho to the GalNac residues (green) of glycan precursors (RXN 3). The glycan precursors then assemble to form pre-teichoic acids (RXN 4), which become either LTA or CTA molecules depending on their final destination. LTA and CTA are embedded in the membrane or cell wall, respectively.
