Taxonomic ID (NCBI) 823
Genome Information

EMBL AB196154
Gene Information
Gene NamedgpC
Protein Information
Protein NameDgpC
Subcellular LocationSurface
Function Most likely to be an S-layer glycoprotein as evidenced by its abundance, its similarity to known S-layers, its surface extraction and presence of an S-layer lattice on the organism.
Glycosylation Status
Technique(s) used for Glycosylation DetectionPro-Q Emerald 300 Glycoprotein staining and AAL (Aleuria aurantia lectin) affinity chromatography
Glycan Information
Glycan Annotation Glycan represents 2.1% (wt/wt) of the molecule. It is composed almost entirely of xylose (89.6%). Glucose (6.9%), mannose (2.2%), and rhamnose (1.3%) are present in small amounts. 16 xylose residues and one or two glucose or other six-carbon sugar have been calculated per DgpC molecule. Glycosyl linkage analysis has shown that the xylose molecules are largely linked 1,2 and 1,4.
Protein Glycosylation linked (PGL) gene(s)
Additional CommentExpression of Dgp glycoproteins is phase-variable in the normal environment of bacteria.
