The variant surface glycoprotein of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei contains a glycolipid of unknown structure covalently attached to its COOH terminus. We have shown, by using metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine or [3H]myristic acid, precipitation with specific antibodies, and NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, that this glycolipid is attached to the variant surface glycoprotein polypeptide within 1 min after its translation.
布氏锥虫寄生虫的可变表面糖蛋白含有一种结构未知的糖脂,该糖脂共价连接在其COOH末端。我们通过使用[35S]甲硫氨酸或[3H]肉豆蔻酸进行代谢标记、用特异性抗体沉淀以及NaDodSO4/聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳表明,这种糖脂在翻译后1分钟内就连接到可变表面糖蛋白多肽上。
