HepI and OpsX are functionally coupled but evolutionarily asymmetric heptosyltransferase variants: ecological transitions and operon modularization drive divergent constraints and flexibility

Aayatti Mallick Gupta, Philip Arevalo, Erika Anne Taylor

This paper compares HepI and OpsX heptosyltransferases in Gram-negative bacteria, finding they are functionally linked but evolve asymmetrically due to ecological and genomic factors.
