Résumé

The polysaccharides that comprise bacterial cell walls are commonly O-acetylated. This modification confers resistance to hydrolases of innate immune systems and/or controls endogenous autolytic activity. Herein, we present protocols for the compositional analysis of bacterial cell wall O-acetylation, and assays for monitoring O-acetyltransferases and O-acetylesterases. The assays are amenable for the development of high-throughput screens in search of inhibitors of the respective enzymes.
