Genetic and structural heterogeneity of proteophosphoglycans in Leishmania.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 30 Apr 2002

Montgomery Jacqui, Curtis Joan, Handman Emanuela

Abstract excerpt

Proteophosphoglycans (PPG) are a large family of extensively glycosylated proteins with some unusual and unique features. The ppg gene family is conserved in at least three Leishmania species and localises to chromosome 35. Previous studies using standard discontinuous SDS-PAGE have been incapable of resolving PPG heterogeneity with most material failing to enter the resolving gel. We have exploited a continuous...
