摘要: The variant-specific protein that forms the surface coat of bloodstage trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is a glycoprotein, with oligosaccharides attached by covalent linkage to specific residues in protein. organism able express sequentially individual genes from large repertoire antigen and glycosylation each these gene products has been shown binding lectins (Strickler et al. 1978), direct detection sugars associated (Allsopp Njogu 1974; Johnson Cross 1977) or effects various inhibitors on biosynthesis Patton 1980; Rovis Dube 1981). proteins related trypanosomes T. congolense (Rautenberg 1981; Reinwald 1981) equiperdum (Baltz are also glycosylated. molecular basis antigenic variation biochemistry variant glycoproteins (VSGs) have reviewed recently (Turner 1982; Borst Englund 1982). This chapter will describe what known about location, biosynthesis, processing structure carbohydrate VSGs assess their possible significance for biology parasite.
