Glycosylation of flagellin in Campylobacter jejuni is essential for motility and virulence. It is well-known that flagellin from C. jejuni 81-176 is glycosylated by pseudaminic acid and its acetamidino derivative, and that Campylobactor coli VC167 flagellin is glycosylated by legionaminic acid and its derivatives. Recently, it was shown, by use of a metabolomics approach, that C. jejuni 11168 is glycosylated by dimethyl glyceric acid derivatives of pseudaminic acid, but the sites of glycosylation were not confirmed. Here, we apply an online liquid chromatography electron capture dissociation (ECD) tandem mass spectrometry approach to localize sites of glycosylation in flagellin from C. jejuni 11168. Flagellin A is glycosylated by a dimethyl glyceric acid derivative of pseudaminic acid at Ser181, Ser207 and either Thr464 or Thr 465; and by a dimethyl glyceric acid derivative of acetamidino pseudaminic acid at Ser181 and Ser207. For comparison, on-line liquid chromatography collision-induced dissociation of the tryptic digests was performed, but it was not possible to assign sites of glycosylation by that method.
