Abstract:Endomembrane (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane) proteins of soybean (Glycine max) root cells are highly glycosylated. We investigated whether N-linked oligosacchande moieties are essential for the correct intracellular transport of plant endomembrane glycoproteins. Excised roots were incubated with tunicamycin, to block cotranslational glycosylation of proteins, and dual labeled with [3H]glucosamine and [35S] (methionine, cysteine). In the presence of tunicamycin, the incorporation of gl… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
