ProGP ID ProGP99 (PilE (pilin))
Validation Status Characterized
Organism Information
Organism NameNeisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain C311#3/ MC58
Domain Bacteria
Classification Family: Neisseriaceae
Order: Neisseriales
Class: Betaproteobacteria
Division or phylum: "Proteobacteria"
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.

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.
