Abstract |
|---|
Campylobacter jejuni has systems for N- and O-linked protein glycosylation. Although biochemical evidence demonstrated that a pseC mutant in the O-linked pathway accumulated the product of pglF in the N-linked pathway, analyses of glycosylation status of N-glycosylated proteins and transformation frequencies indicated partial suppression of pglF by pseC.
