Rapid processing of the carboxyl terminus of a trypanosome variant surface glycoprotein

J D Bangs et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1985 May.

Abstract

The variant surface glycoprotein of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei contains a glycolipid of unknown structure covalently attached to its COOH terminus. We have shown, by using metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine or [3H]myristic acid, precipitation with specific antibodies, and NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, that this glycolipid is attached to the variant surface glycoprotein polypeptide within 1 min after its translation.
