N-linked glycosylation and homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
As a major site of protein biosynthesis, homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum is critical for cell viability. Asparagine linked glycosylation of newly synthesized proteins by the oligosaccharyltransferase plays a central role in ER homeostasis due to the use of protein-linked oligosaccharides as recognition and timing markers for glycoprotein ...

N-Linked Protein Glycosylation in the Endoplasmic Reticulum [PDF]
The attachment of glycans to asparagine residues of proteins is an abundant and highly conserved essential modification in eukaryotes. The N-glycosylation process includes two principal phases: the assembly of a lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) and the transfer of the oligosaccharide to selected asparagine residues of polypeptide chains.

The N-linking glycosylation system from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is required for adhesion and has potential use in glycoengineering [PDF]
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a mucosal respiratory pathogen causing contagious porcine pleuropneumonia. Pathogenesis studies have demonstrated a major role for the capsule, exotoxins and outer membrane proteins.

Effects of N-linked glycosylation on the creatine transporter [PDF]
The CRT (creatine transporter) is a member of the Na+- and Cl−-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family and is responsible for the import of creatine into cells, and thus is important for cellular energy metabolism. We established for CRT an expression system in HEK-293 cells that allowed biochemical, immunological and functional analysis of CRT ...

Autosomal Recessive Dilated Cardiomyopathy due to DOLK Mutations Results from Abnormal Dystroglycan O-Mannosylation [PDF]
Genetic causes for autosomal recessive forms of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are only rarely identified, although they are thought to contribute considerably to sudden cardiac death and heart failure, especially in young children.

Oligosaccharyltransferase: the central enzyme of N‐linked protein glycosylation [PDF]
AbtractN‐linked glycosylation is one of the most abundant modifications of proteins in eukaryotic organisms. In the central reaction of the pathway, oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), a multimeric complex located at the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, transfers a preassembled oligosaccharide to selected asparagine residues within the consensus ...

Structural Insight into the Mechanism of N-Linked Glycosylation by Oligosaccharyltransferase
Asparagine-linked glycosylation, also known as N-linked glycosylation is an essential and highly conserved post-translational protein modification that occurs in all three domains of life. This modification is essential for specific molecular recognition,

Genomic and Biochemical Analysis of N Glycosylation in the Mushroom-Forming Basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune [PDF]
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.
