EMBL AF246294
Protein Information
Protein NameBclA (collagen-like protein)
Subcellular LocationSurface
Function 1. 205,70 and 30-kDa glycoproteins are present in the exosporium which is a transparent and loose covering of the spore.
2. BclA is the major constituent of the hairy surface of exosporium, the resistant and flexible paracrystalline layer of spores. The exosporium plays a role in spore adhesion and virulence. The trimerized glycoprotein BclA is attached to the basal layer through an N-terminal domain.
Glycosylation Status
Technique(s) used for Glycosylation DetectionGlycoprotein detection kit
Glycan Information
Glycan Annotation Sugars identified include glucose, rhamnose, ribose, and glucosamine (amino sugar). 3.8% total amino sugar content determined.
In Bacillus cereus strain T, carbohydrates were determined using differential anthrone method, orcinol method, and aniline phthalic acid and ammoniacal silver nitrate reactions after descending paper chromatography.
