Determination of N-glycome of the tick \kur{Ixodes ricinus} and \kur{Dermacentor marginatus}; Analysis of N-glycans in tick tissues and their comparison
ŠIMONOVÁ, Zuzana
Glycosylation in vertebrates has a main role in many important processes such as cell transport, protein folding, secretion of proteins etc. What function has glycosylation in arthropods, for example in ticks, is rarely studied. This work was focused on analysis of N-glycans in tick tissues, namely in Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor marginatus. High-mannose glycans as well as complex glycans with or without core-fucosylation were identified in this study.Furthermore several sialylated glycans were present in the studied samples. Sialic acid is found in arthropods rarely and this is the first study which directly proves its presence in ticks using mass spectrometry.
