In this review, we discuss the kps cluster of Escherichia coli as the paradigm for the ABC capsular polysaccharide exporter (CPSE) family. Components of the cluster form a multimeric protein complex consisting of bath biosynthetic and export machinery. We compare the Kps exporter with capsule export systems from other members of the CPSE family. (C) 2001 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
