Identification of Residues Important for the Activity of Haloferax volcanii AglD, a Component of the Archaeal N-Glycosylation Pathway
Figure 1
aglD-complemented Hfx. volcanii cells regain the ability to properly glycosylate the S-layer glycoprotein. The protein contents of cells of the WR536 background strain (bkgnd), the same strain deleted of aglD (aglD) or the AglD-lacking strain transformed with a plasmid encoding CBD-AglD (aglD/CBD-aglD) were separated by 5% SDS-PAGE and the S-layer glycoprotein was detected by Coomassie stain (CBB) or periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reagent. In the presence of CBD-AglD, the migration and positive glycostaining of the S-layer glycoprotein are as observed in the background strain.
