Mass spectrometric analysis of Ehrlichia chaffeensis tandem repeat proteins reveals evidence of phosphorylation and absence of glycosylation.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis has a small subset of immunoreactive secreted, acidic (pI approximately 4), tandem repeat (TR)-containing proteins (TRPs), which exhibit abnormally large electrophoretic masses that have been associated with glycosylation of the TR domain.In this study, we examined the extent a...
