Unraveling the Mechanism of Protein N-Glycosylation [PDF]
Asparagine-linked glycosylation is the most ubiquitous protein co-translational modification in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The enzyme that catalyzes this process is called oligosaccharyl transferase (OT). It catalyzes the transfer of an oligosaccharyl moiety (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2) from the dolichol-linked pyrophosphate donor to the side chain of Asn ...

Changes in protein N-glycosylation during the fruit development and ripening in melting-type peach
The posttranslational modification of proteins with complex carbohydrate moieties (glycosylation) regulates the process of fruit ripening. Exoglycosidases are enzymes that can trim this protein glycosylation and are therefore considered to be important ...

Posttranslational modifications of GLUT4 affect its subcellular localization and translocation [PDF]
The facilitative glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) is expressed in adipose and muscle and plays a vital role in whole body glucose homeostasis. In the absence of insulin, only ~1% of cellular GLUT4 is present at the plasma membrane, with the vast ...

Characterization of VRC01, a potent and broadly neutralizing anti-HIV mAb, produced in transiently and stably transformed tobacco [PDF]
The proposed clinical trial in Africa of VRC01, a potent broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) capable of neutralizing 91% of known HIV-1 isolates, raises concerns about testing a treatment which will be too expensive to be accessible by the most ...

Enhancement of toxin- and virus-neutralizing capacity of single-domain antibody fragments by -glycosylation [PDF]
Single-domain antibody fragments (VHHs) have several beneficial properties as compared to conventional antibody fragments. However, their small size complicates their toxin- and virus-neutralizing capacity.

Role of N-glycosylation in oral cancer [PDF]
Oral squamous cell carcinoma represents more than 90% head and neck cancers with high incidence rate and morbidity. To date, little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for OSCC initiation and progression to advanced disease.
