N-linked oligosaccharides arise when blocks of 14 sugars are added cotranslationally to newly synthesized polypeptides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These glycans are then subjected to extensive modification as the glycoproteins mature and move through the ER via the Golgi complex to their final destinations inside and outside the cell. In the ER and in the early secretory pathway, where the repertoire of oligosaccharide structures is still rather small, the glycans play a pivotal role in… Expand

Glycoproteins and Proteoglycans
TLDR
The most abundant form of O-linked glycosylation in higher eukaryotes is the “mucin-type,” which is characterized by the presence of an N-acetyl-a-D galactosamine attached to the hydroxyl group of serine or threonine. Expand
N-glycan production in the endoplasmic reticulum of plants.
TLDR
Information on the molecular components underlying the three stages of N-glycan production: lipid-linked oligosaccharide synthesis, co-translational oligosACcharyl-transfer and quality control of the folded glycoprotein in the ER are integrated. Expand
Glycosylation of Proteins in the Golgi Apparatus
TLDR
Some of the most common forms of Golgi protein glycosylation are discussed: mucin-type O-linked gly cosylation, N- linked glycosolation, and the formation of glycosaminoglycans. Expand
Non-lysosomal degradation pathway for N-linked glycans and dolichol-linked oligosaccharides.
TLDR
The current knowledge of the molecular and regulatory mechanisms underlying the formation of fOSs and POSs in mammalian cells and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are summarized. Expand
Glycan Engineering in Transgenic Plants
TLDR
This chapter describes the main aspects of the N - glycan biosynthesis in plants as well as strategies that have been developed to engineer this N - Glycosylation pathway in order to allow the production in transgenic plants of pharmaceutical proteins that carry human - like glycans. Expand
Physiological and molecular functions of the cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase.
TLDR
The current state of the physiological and molecular functions of the cytosolic PNGase in a model organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are summarized and the functional/structural diversities of this molecule within eukaryotes are discussed. Expand
Carbohydrate Synthesis towards Glycobiology
Recent advances in glycobiology have implicated essential roles of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates in many important biological recognition processes, such as intracellular signaling, cell… Expand
Controlling N-linked glycan site occupancy.
TLDR
The characterization of the dolichol pyrophosphate biosynthetic pathway and the recent identification of potential rate limiting enzymes in yeast and mammalian cells has made it possible to investigate their role in site occupancy, and insights into the location and residues in and around the acceptor tripeptide sequon suggest an influence on N-glycan site occupancy.

Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase, an enzyme involved in processing of free oligosaccharides in the cytosol
TLDR
The identification of the gene encoding human cytosolic ENGase, a key enzyme involved in the processing of free oligosaccharides in the cytosol, was reported, suggesting that this enzyme is involved in basic biological processes in eukaryotic cells. Expand
Glycosylation Quality Control by the Golgi Structure.
TLDR
The current knowledge of how the Golgi structure is formed and why its formation is required for accurate glycosylation is reviewed, with the focus on how the conserved oligomeric Golgi complex maintains Golgi enzymes in different Golgi subcompartments by retrograde protein trafficking. Expand

Role of N-oligosaccharide endoplasmic reticulum processing reactions in glycoprotein folding and degradation.
TLDR
The interaction between CNX/CRT and a monoglucosylated glycan is one of the alternative mechanisms by which cells retain not yet properly folded glycoproteins in the ER and enhances folding efficiency by preventing protein aggregation and thus allowing intervention of classical chaperones and other folding-assisting proteins. Expand
The dolichol pathway of N-linked glycosylation.
TLDR
It is suggested that N-linked glycosylation in eukaryotes and in archaea share a common evolutionary origin and the function of the lipid carrier dolichol in oligosaccharide assembly is discussed. Expand
Carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins. A re-evaluation of their function.
TLDR
It is proposed that the carbohydrate acts as a chemical ‘tag’ which, upon interaction with a specific intracellular membrane receptor, directs glycoproteins to specific cellular organelles following synthesis on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Expand

TLDR
A number of alkaloid‐like compounds have been identified that are specific inhibitors of the glucosidases and mannosidases involved in glycoprotein processing, causing the formation of glycoproteins with glucose‐containing high mannose structures, or various high‐mannose or hybrid chains, depending on the site of inhibition. Expand
Role of N-linked oligosaccharide recognition, glucose trimming, and calnexin in glycoprotein folding and quality control.
TLDR
It is proposed that the ER contains a unique folding and quality control machinery in which calnexin acts as a chaperone that binds proteins with partially glucose-trimmed carbohydrate side chains, and glucosidases I and II serve as signal modifiers and UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase, as a folding sensor.

The presence of dolichyl phosphate and a family of saturated isoprenoid lipids in Archaebacteria suggests a possible evolutionary link between the bacterial and eukaryotic systems. Expand
Lectins and traffic in the secretory pathway
TLDR
The mannose lectin ERGIC‐53 operates as a cargo receptor in transport of glycoproteins from ER to Golgi and the homologous lectin VIP36 may operate in quality control of glycosylation in the Golgi. Expand

TLDR
The overall structure of the cell surface glycoprotein of halobacteria is thus reminiscent of animal proteoglycans and a functional role of the glycosaminoglycan chain in maintaining the rod shape of Halobacterium halob bacteria is discussed. Expand

TLDR
The lectin-monoglucosylated oligosaccharide interaction is one of the alternative ways by which cells retain improperly folded glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and increases folding efficiency, prevents premature glycoprotein oligomerization and degradation, and suppresses formation of non-native disulfide bonds.
