Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as hyaluronan and chondroitin in animal extracellular matrices contain disaccharide-repeating units. In a Gram-negative pathogenic Streptobacillus moniliformis , which belongs to Fusobacteria phylum and resides in rodent oral cavities, the solute-binding protein (Smon0123)-dependent ATP-binding cassette transporter imports unsaturated hyaluronan/chondroitin disaccharides into the cytoplasm after GAG lyase-dependent depolymerization ...
