A rhomboid protease gene deletion affects a novel oligosaccharide N-linked to the S-layer glycoprotein of Haloferax volcanii
Background: Rhomboid proteases are ubiquitous, and their role in Archaea has not been explored. Results: We generated a rhomboid deletion mutant that displayed a glycosylation defect. Conclusion: Deletion of a rhomboid protease gene altered S-layer glycoprotein N-glycosylation. Significance: This wo...

Sumario: | Background: Rhomboid proteases are ubiquitous, and their role in Archaea has not been explored. Results: We generated a rhomboid deletion mutant that displayed a glycosylation defect. Conclusion: Deletion of a rhomboid protease gene altered S-layer glycoprotein N-glycosylation. Significance: This work provides structural characterization of a novel oligosaccharide bound to H. volcanii S-layer glycoprotein and relates a rhomboid protease with the protein glycosylation process. © 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. |
