The Glycoprotein NOWA and Minicollagens Are Part of a Disulfidelinked Polymer That Forms the Cnidarian Nematocyst Wall

The nematocyst is a unique extrusive organelle involved in the defense and capture of prey in cnidarians. Minicollagens and the glycoprotein NOWA are major components of the nematocyst capsule wall, which resists osmotic pressure of 15 MPa. Here we present the recombinant expression of NOWA, which s...
