title: Asparaginyl-rhamnose: a novel type of protein-carbohydrate linkage in a eubacterial surface-layer glycoprotein.
abstract: The subunits of the crystalline surface layer of Bacillus stearothermophilus, strain NRS 2004/3a contain carbohydrates covalently linked to protein. Hydrolysis of a glycopeptide obtained by pronase digestion of the glycoprotein and analysis of the fragments revealed that rhamnose is N-glycosidically linked to the amide nitrogen of an asparaginyl residue.
