| Description | Vitelline membrane outer layer protein I (VMO-I) is one of the proteins found in the outer layer of the vitelline membrane of eggs. VMO-I, lysozyme, and VMO-II are bound tightly to ovomucin fibrils of the egg yolk membrane. The structure of VMO-I [ ] consists of three β-sheets forming Greek key motifs, which are related by an internal pseudo three-fold symmetry. It is a member of the β-prism-fold family and the structure of VOM-I has strong similarity to the structure of the delta-endotoxin, as well as a carbohydrate-binding site in the top region of the common fold []. VMO-I has been shown to synthesize N-acetylchito-oligosaccharides from N-acetylglucosamine. |
