Protein
Archaeal glycosylation protein Q
Organism
Haloferax volcanii (strain ATCC 29605 / DSM 3757 / JCM 8879 / NBRC 14742 / NCIMB 2012 / VKM B-1768 / DS2)
Function
Putative isomerase involved in the N-glycosylation pathway. Required for the appearance of the methyl ester of hexuronic acid found at position four of the pentasaccharide N-linked to the S-layer glycoprotein. Either involved in preparing the third sugar for attachment of the fourth pentasaccharide subunit or processing the fourth sugar prior to its addition to the lipid-linked trisaccharide.
