Variant surface glycoproteins of Trypanosoma brucei are synthesised with cleavable hydrophobic sequences at the carboxy and amino termini.
Nucleic Acids Res. 1981; (18): 4735-43
cDNAs coding for the amino and carboxy termini of two trypanosome variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) have been sequenced. The results indicate that VSGs are synthesised with hydrophobic amino-terminal leader and carboxy-terminal tail sequences which are absent from purified mature VSGs.
