Protein Glycosylation- Implication | N-glycosylation endows H. volcanii with an ability to maintain an intact and stable cell envelope (correct S-layer architecture and stable association of the S-layer glycoprotein within the S-layer) in hypersaline surroundings, ensuring survival in this extreme environment. |
Glycan Information |
Glycan Annotation | Sulfoquinovose-hexose-based glycan, N-linked via a chitobiose core. A trisaccharide corresponding to glucuronic acid (GlcA)-?1,4-GlcA-?1,4-glucose-?1-Asn, a tetrasaccharide corresponding to methyl-O-4-GlcA-?-1,4-galacturonic acid-?1,4-GlcA-?1,4-glucose-?1-Asn, and a pentasaccharide corresponding to hexose-1,2-[methyl-O-4-]GlcA-?-1,4-galacturonic acid-?1,4-GlcA-?1,4-glucose-?1-Asn. The hexose at the non-reducing end of the pentasaccharide is a mannose. In high salt (3.4 M NaCl) conditions, N13 and N83 are modified by a pentasaccharide while dolicholphosphate is modified by a tetrasaccharide comprising the first four pentasaccharide residues. Cells grown at low salinity (1.75 M NaCl) possess dolichol phosphate and N498 residue (in S-layer glycoprotein) modified by a distinct tetrasaccharide comprising a sulfated hexose, two hexoses and a rhamnose. A novel glycan, N-acetylglucosamine2-hexose2-(sulfoquinovose-hexose)6, is bound to Asn-732. |
