N-Glycosyltransferase (NGT) is an inverting glycosyltransferase for an unusual pathway of N-linked protein glycosylation and glycosylates polypeptides in the consensus sequon (N-(X≠P)-T/S) with hexose monosaccharides. Here, we expressed and characterized a novel N-glycosyltransferase from Aggregatibacter aphrophilus (named AaNGT). RP-HPLC and Mass Spectrometry were used to assay and quantify glycopeptide formation by AaNGT and determine its substrate specificities. AaNGT could utilize a variety of nucleotide-activated sugar donors, including UDP-Glc, UDP-Gal, UDP-Xyl, GDP-Glc, dGDP-Glc and UDP-GlcN, to glycosylate the tested peptides. To the best of our knowledge, AaNGT was the first identifie... More
