O-Glycosylation but not N-glycosylation modulates C. jejuni BgAg binding. (a) NCTC11168 and 11168ΔpglB were examined for binding to core-II, core-I, H-I, H-II, Leb, Lex and Ley. Binding was not significantly reduced following pglB mutation. Error bars: mean of triplicate values ± s.e.m. from three independent experiments. (b) NCTC11168 and 11168ΔpseD were examined for binding to core-II, H-I, H-II, Leb and Ley. The binding of 11168ΔpseD was significantly reduced compared with the wild-type (***p < 0.001). Error bars: mean of triplicate values ± s.e.m. from three independent experiments. (c) Immunoblot analysis of purified MOMP from wild-type NCTC11168, 11168MOMP268T/G and 11168ΔpseD strains using anti-MOMP antibodies. MOMP from the latter two strains showed an apparent size shift compared with the wild-type protein indicating a loss of glycosylation.
