Structures of the N-linked oligosaccharides of Gp63, the major surface glycoprotein, from Leishmania mexicana amazonensis.
The extent of protein N-glycosylation in Leishmania mexicana amazonensis has been proposed to be a factor in the virulence of the parasite. The N-linked oligosaccharides of gp63, the major surface glycoprotein of L. mexicana amazonensis, were characterized after their release by hydrazinolysis, re-N-acetylation, and reduction with NaB3H4. High voltage paper electrophoresis of the reduced oligos...
متن کاملIdentification of a cell surface glycoprotein family of olfactory receptor neurons with a monoclonal antibody.
A monoclonal antibody (Mab) has been developed which recognizes a family of cell surface glycoproteins found in high levels of rat olfactory receptor neurons. This Mab, designated 2B8, was produced by the fusion of X63-Ag8.653 myeloma cells and spleen cells of a mouse immunized with PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. Immunofluorescence analyses of cryostat sections of neonatal olfactory epitheliu...
متن کاملDeletions in vaccine strains of pseudorabies virus and their effect on synthesis of glycoprotein gp63.
The pseudorabies virus vaccine strains Norden and Bartha each have been reported to have deletions in the small unique component of the genome (B. Lomniczi, M. L. Blankenship, and T. Ben-Porat, J. Virol. 49:970-979, 1984). The deletion in Norden was shown to delete the entire coding region for gI but not any of the coding sequences for gp63. However, gp63 in Norden-infected cells was only 36 ki...
متن کاملGenome sequencing of the lizard parasite Leishmania tarentolae reveals loss of genes associated to the intracellular stage of human pathogenic species
The Leishmania tarentolae Parrot-TarII strain genome sequence was resolved to an average 16-fold mean coverage by next-generation DNA sequencing technologies. This is the first non-pathogenic to humans kinetoplastid protozoan genome to be described thus providing an opportunity for comparison with the completed genomes of pathogenic Leishmania species. A high synteny was observed between all se...
متن کاملIdentification of a putative precursor to the major surface glycoprotein of Pneumocystis carinii.
The major surface glycoprotein (MSG) of Pneumocystis carinii f. sp. carinii is a family of proteins encoded by a family of heterogeneous genes. Messenger RNAs encoding different MSGs each begin with the same 365-bp sequence, called the Upstream Conserved Sequence (UCS), which is in frame with the contiguous MSG sequence. The UCS contains several potential start sites for translation. To determi...
