Validation Status Characterized
Organism Information
Organism NameNeisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain C311#3/ MC58
Domain Bacteria
Classification Phylum : Proteobacteria
Class : Betaproteobacteria
Orders : Neisseriales
Family : Neisseriaceae
Genus : Neisseria
Species : meningitidis
Strain : C311#3/ MC58
Taxonomic ID (NCBI) 491
Genome Information
GenBank AE002098.2
EMBL AE002098
Organism Additional Information Neisseria meningitidis (Gram-negative bacterium) is the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis. Sometimes, it crosses the epithelium using its pili to enter the bloodstream. After rapid proliferation, this leads to septicemia. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier to proliferate in the brain.

Technique(s) used for Glycosylated Residue(s) Detection Gas-phase Edman sequencing and site-directed mutagenesis (S63A)
Protein Glycosylation- Implication 5NβOHC47NfmPse has the same basic structure common to the sialic acid family of sugars, which have been postulated to function as biological masks protecting sensitive protein structures. Therefore, the presence of the pilin glycan may protect the pili from complement binding and phagocytosis or protect potential epitopes from the host B-cell response. Further, the glycosylation helps in the solubilization of the pilin monomers and/or individual pilus fibres (of strain 8013).
Glycan Information
Glycan Annotation Linkage: DATDH-Ser.
Unusual trisaccharide molecule, Gal(β1-4)Gal(α1-3)2,4-diacetimido-2,4,6-trideoxyhexose [Gal(β1-4)Gal(α1-3)DATDH].
In N. meningitidis 8013 strain, 2-glyceramido 4-acetamido 2,4,6-trideoxyhexose (GATDH) has been found in place of DATDH.
BCSDB ID 20030
GlyTouCan G45609TX
Technique(s) used for Glycan Identification GC-MS of alditol acetates obtained by trifluoro acetic acid (TFA) hydrolysis of permethylated HPLC fractions, and GC-MS after trimethylsilyl ether derivatization of oligosaccharides reductively eliminated from the peptide.
Protein Glycosylation linked (PGL) gene(s)
OST Gene NamePglL
OST ProGT IDProGT17 ProGT21
Characterized Accessory Gene(s)PglA, PglB2, PglE. Galactosyltransferase PglA transfers the galactose to DATDH. PglE catalyzes the attachment of the terminal galactose to the glycan. PglBCD enzymes are essential for biosynthesis of DATDH from GlcNAc. PglB (B1) also catalyzes transfer of DATDH onto the lipid carrier. PglF is the flippase. PglB2 is a glyceramido transferase that synthesizes GATDH and transfers it onto the lipid carrier.
Accessory Gene(s)Progt IDProGT17.1, ProGT17.2, Pro
Additional CommentMS11 strain containing the pglB2 allele from the 8013 strain expresses a pilin modified with a GATDH (2-acetamido 4-glyceramido 2,4,6-trideoxyhexose).
Sequone feature: S/T plus low complexity region, the glycan modfications are found on a fexible-loop region within the globular domain of the protein.
