Flagellin glycosylation

The order Enterobacterales encompasses a broad range of metabolically and ecologically versatile bacterial taxa, most of which are motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Flagellar biosynthesis has been linked to a primary flagella locus, flag-1, encompassing ~ 50 genes.

Flagellins fromClostridium botulinumwere shown to be post-translationally modified with novel glycan moieties by top-down MS analysis of purified flagellin protein from strains of various toxin serotypes. Detailed analyses of flagellin from two strains ofC. botulinumdemonstrated that the protein is modified by a novel glycan moiety of mass 417 Da in O-linkage.

It is well known that the flagellin ofCampylobacter jejuniis extensively gly-cosylated by pseudaminic acid and the related acetamindino derivative, in addition to flagellin glycosylation being essential for motility and coloniza-tion of host cells.
