Function The MOMP (40 kDa protein) is the principal structural protein of the EB (infectious elementary body). Through disulfide-mediated interactions, the MOMP provides the structural integrity to the extracellular infectious form and performs a porin-like function when Chlamydiae are intracellular and metabolically active. The serological specificity of the organism resides in MOMP, and antibodies raised against MOMP neutralize infectivity of Chlamydia.
Glycosylation Status
Glycosylation Type N- (Asn) linked
Technique(s) used for Glycosylation DetectionChange in SDS-PAGE mobility after periodate oxidation, polysaccharide staining with p-phenylenediamine, rapid migration on SDS-PAGE after PNGaseF treatment, lectin binding (ConA, WGA, DBA), and autoradiography after metabolic labeling with [3H] glucosamine.
Glycan Information
Glycan Annotation Linkage: β-GlcNAc-N-Asn. The major fractions consisted of “high mannose type” oligosaccharides containing 8–9 mannose residues. Bi- and tri-antennary “complex type” oligosaccharides having terminal galactose were detected as minor components. These oligosaccharides were N-linked and contained no sialic acid. A specific high-mannose type oligosaccharide linked to the MOMP of C. trachomatis mediates attachment and infectivity of the organism to HeLa cells. The lectin-binding properties of MOMP and its susceptibility to glycosidase indicate that MOMP glycoprotein contains α-Man and β-GlcNAc at the terminus.
