In recent years it has become apparent that the so-called non-pylori Helicobacters, normally infecting pigs, cats, and dogs, may also be involved in human pathology via zoonotic transmission. Indeed, more than 30 species of non-pylori Helicobacters have been identified thus far. One such organism is Helicobacter canadensis, an emerging pathogen whose genome sequence was published in 2009. Given our long-standing interest in the biosynthesis of N-formylated sugars found in the O-antigens of some Gram-negative bacteria, we were curious as to whether H. canadensis produces such unusual carbohydrates. Here we demonstrate using both biochemical and structural techniques, that the proteins encoded by the HCAN_0198, HCAN_0204, and HCAN_0200 genes in H. canadensis, correspond to a 3,4-ketoisomerase, a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate aminotransferase, and an N-formyltransferase, respectively. For this investigation, five high-resolution X-ray structures were determined and the kinetic parameters for the isomerase and the N-formyltransferase were measured. Based on these data, we suggest that the unusual sugar, 3-formamido-3,6-dideoxy-d-glucose, will most likely be found in the O-antigen of H. canadensis. Whether N-formylated sugars found in the O-antigen contribute to virulence is presently unclear, but it is intriguing that they have been observed in such pathogens as Francisella tularensis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Brucella melitensis.
