Abstract
The oligosaccharyltransferase PglB from Campylobacter jejuni catalyses the N-glycosylation reaction with undecaprenyl-pyrophosphate-linked Glc1GalNAc5Bac1 (Und-PP-Glc1GalNAc5Bac1). Experiments using chemically synthesized donors coupled to fluorescently tagged peptides confirmed that biosynthetic intermediate Und-PP-Bac1 and Und-PP-GalNAc2Bac1 are transferred efficiently to the Asn residue in the consensus sequence (D/E-X'-N-X-T/S, X',X≠P). The products were analyzed in detail by tandem MS to confirm their chemical structures.
