| Technique(s) used for Glycosylation Detection | Immunoblotting, Trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry (Ion trap with CID) |
| Technique(s) used for Glycosylated Residue(s) Detection | MSMS (Ion trap with electron transfer dissociation (ETD)) |
| Protein Glycosylation- Implication | Pilin glycosylation has been shown to play a role in host-cell adhesion and virulence.
|
| Glycan Information |
| Glycan Annotation | Pentasaccharide (HexNAc-Hex-Hex-HexNAc-HexNAc). Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer using the higher-energy collisional fragmentation (HCD) mode suggests that pentasaccharide is linked through its terminal HexNAc residue to a 162.111-Da moiety via a phosphate bridge. |
| Technique(s) used for Glycan Identification | MS (ion trap with tandemMS CID and ETD) |
| Protein Glycosylation linked (PGL) gene(s) |
| OST Gene Name | PglA |
| OST ProGT ID | ProGT50 (PglA) |
