Non-S-layer glycoproteins in eubacteria.
Glycoproteins are proving to be quite common in prokaryotes. Those in S-layers are the best understood in terms of structure. Numerous eubacteria produce non-S-layer glycoproteins about which relatively little is known. The glycans on such proteins and the nature and sites of their linkages to proteins are novel in those glycoproteins which have been examined in any detail. The possible functions of the glycans are mostly not understood. Eubacterial non-S-layer glycoproteins and the glycosylation systems producing them deserve more attention.
