Abstract excerpt
The molecular weight polymorphism in the Dictyostelium discoideum cell surface glycoprotein PsA is due to incremental copies of an O-glycosylated tandem tetrapeptide repeat. Allelic variation at the pspA locus results in a PsA glycoprotein with three, four or five tandem copies of Pro-Thr-Val-Thr...
