Halobacterium salinarium glycoprotein

The surface glycoprotein of Halobacterium salinarium was the first glycosylated protein detected in prokaryotes [109]. More recent work on the chemical structure of glycopeptides [110-113] and the primary structure of the polypeptide moiety of the surface glycoprotein of Halobacterium halobium - an organism related to Hb. salinarium at the species level - has led to a detailed picture (Fig. 15A) of this molecule. Its main features are ... [Pg.243]

The phenol-soluble envelope fraction of Escherichia coli has been shown to consist of at least three distinct glycoproteins one of them has an appreciable rate of turnover and is thought to be involved in the transfer of carbohydrates in the envelope. Analysis of the outer- and inner-membrane glycoproteins showed that they are not identical. The principal envelope protein of Halobacterium salinarium is also a glycoprotein of molecular weight 1.94 x 10 . ... [Pg.273]
