Identification of Genes Involved in the Assembly and Biosynthesis of the N-linked Flagellin Glycan in the Archaeon, Methanococcus maripaludis

N-glycosylation is a metabolic process found in all three domains of life. It is the attachment of a polysaccharide glycan to asparagine (Asn) residues within the amino acid motif, Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr. In the archaeon, Methanococcus maripaludis, a tetrasaccharide glycan was isolated from purified flagel...
