Glycosylation sites of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein. 1976

J S Robertson, and J R Etchison, and D F Summers

Detailed analysis on DEAE-Sephadex of the tryptic digestion products of the glycoprotein from vesicular stomatitis virus grown in HeLa suspension cultures revealed the presence of two major and several minor sugar-labeled species. The minor tryptic glycopeptides were converted to one of the two major glycopeptide species by treatment with neuraminidase. Thus, vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein contains only two oligosaccharide side chains that are heterogeneous in their sialic acid content.

D009844	Oligosaccharides	Carbohydrates consisting of between two (DISACCHARIDES) and ten MONOSACCHARIDES connected by either an alpha- or beta-glycosidic link. They are found throughout nature in both the free and bound form.	Oligosaccharide
D011487	Protein Conformation	The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain).
