N-linked glycosylation is a very prevalent form of glycosylation and is important for the folding of many eukaryotic glycoproteins and for cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix attachment. The N-linked glycosylation process occurs in eukaryotes in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and widely in archaea, but very rarely in bacteria.
Glycation (non-enzymatic glycosylation) is the covalent attachment of a sugar to a protein, lipid or nucleic acid molecule. [1] Typical sugars that participate in glycation are glucose , fructose , and their derivatives.
Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG), sold under the brand name Adequan, is an injectable drug for dogs and horses that is used to alleviate the limpness, pain, and lowered range of motion caused by arthritis. [2]
Dolichols play a role in the post-translational modification of proteins known as N-glycosylation in the form of dolichol phosphate.Dolichols function as a membrane anchor for the formation of the oligosaccharide Glc 3 –Man 9 –GlcNAc 2 (where Glc is glucose, Man is mannose, and GlcNAc is N-acetylglucosamine).
The different types of lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor produced in different organisms.. N-linked glycosylation is the attachment of an oligosaccharide, a carbohydrate consisting of several sugar molecules, sometimes also referred to as glycan, to a nitrogen atom (the amide nitrogen of an asparagine (Asn) residue of a protein), in a process called N-glycosylation, studied in ...
The human FOLH1 gene is positioned at the 11p11.12 locus of chromosome 11. The gene is 4,110 base pairs in length and composed of 22 exons. The encoded protein is a member of the M28 peptidase family. Orthologs of the human FOLH1 gene have also been identified in other mammals, including the 7 D3; 7 48.51 cM locus in mice. [16]
A congenital disorder of glycosylation (previously called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome) is one of several rare inborn errors of metabolism in which glycosylation of a variety of tissue proteins and/or lipids is deficient or defective. Congenital disorders of glycosylation are sometimes known as CDG syndromes.
Tunicamycin is a mixture of homologous nucleoside antibiotics that inhibits the UDP-HexNAc: polyprenol-P HexNAc-1-P family of enzymes. In eukaryotes, this includes the enzyme GlcNAc phosphotransferase (GPT), which catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to dolichol phosphate in the first step of glycoprotein synthesis.
