XcbB/CpsF family capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis protein. NCBIfam NF033892 A subset of family Asp2. Many bacterial species produce capsular polysaccharides that contribute to pathogenesis through evasion of the host innate immune system. Two partially characterized members of this family are XcbB, as described in Neisseria meningitidis serotype X, and CpsF as described in Enterococcus faecalis serotype C. In the latter case, loss of CpsF converts capsular polysaccharide to serotype D. cpsF is responsible for glucosylation of serotype C capsular polysaccharide in E. faecalis (no relatioship with WecG_TagA_CpsF family)
