N-glycan breakdown by bacterial CAZymes
Abstract The modification of proteins by N-glycans is ubiquitous to most organisms and they have multiple biological functions, including protecting the adjoining protein from degradation and facilitating communication or adhesion between cells, for example. Microbes have evolved CAZymes to deconstruct different types of N-glycans and

It is well known that the “free” form of glycans that are structurally related to asparagine (N)-linked glycans (“free N-glycans”) are found in a wide variety of organisms.

A Method to the Madness of N-Glycan Complexity? [PDF]
Cell-surface glycoprotein receptors have varying numbers of N-glycan sites. In this issue of Cell, Lau et al. (2007) report that increasing intracellular UDP-GlcNAc leads to increased branching of N-glycans, increased receptor association with cell-surface galectin-3, and enhanced signaling.

Structure of Ten Free N-Glycans in Ripening Tomato Fruit (Arabinose Is a Constituent of a Plant N-Glycan) [PDF]
The concentration-dependent stimulatory and inhibitory effect of N-glycans on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit ripening was recently reported (B. Priem and K.C. Gross [1992] Plant Physiol 98: 399-401). We report here the structure of 10 free N-glycans in mature green tomatoes.

Identification and comparison of N-glycome profiles from common dietary protein sources
The N-glycomes of bovine whey, egg white, pea, and soy protein isolates are described here. N-glycans from four protein isolates were analyzed by HILIC high performance liquid chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC ...

N-linked glycans of Schizophyllum commune consist of Man(5-9)GlcNAc(2) structures. Lack of further glycan maturation is explained by the absence of genes encoding such functions in this and other homobasidiomycetes.

Analysis of Invertebrate and Protist N-Glycans [PDF]
N-glycans from invertebrates and protists have often unusual structures which present analytical challenges. Both core and antennal modifications can be quite different from the more familiar vertebrate glycan motifs; thereby, contrary to the concept that "simple" organisms have "simple" N-glycans, rather complex oligosaccharides structures, including ...

Advances in understanding N-glycosylation structure, function, and regulation in health and disease
N-linked glycosylation is a post-translational modification crucial for membrane protein folding, stability and other cellular functions. Alteration of membrane protein N-glycans is implicated in wide range of pathological conditions including cancer ...

The structure of N-linked glycans is determined by a complex, anabolic, intracellular pathway but the exact role of individual glycans is not always clear.

MALDI-MS/MS with traveling wave ion mobility for the structural analysis of N-Linked glycans [PDF]
The preference for singly charged ion formation by MALDI makes it a better choice than electrospray ionization for profiling mixtures of N-glycans.
