Abstract:N-Glycosylation of secretory and membrane-bound proteins is an essential and highly conserved protein modification of eukaryotes. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a combination of various enzymes, chaperones, lectins and cargo receptors constitutes the "glycoprotein quality control" (GQC) system, which elaborately regulates folding, transport and degradation of glycoproteins. Thus, function of asparagine linked sugar chains in the GQC process has been attracting attention. Understanding of these phenomena ha… Show more
