Abstract excerpt
Flagellin from Campylobacter coli VC167 is post-translationally modified at > or = 16 amino acid residues with pseudaminic acid and three related derivatives. The predominant modification was 5,7-diacetamido-3,5,7,9 - tetradeoxy - l - glycero - l - manno - nonulosonic acid (pseudaminic acid, Pse5Ac7Ac), a modification that has been described previously on flagellin from Campylobacter jejuni 81-176. VC167 lacked...
