Regulation of N-linked core glycosylation: use of a site-directed mutagenesis approach to identify Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequons that are poor oligosaccharide acceptors

Abstract

N-linked glycosylation can profoundly affect protein expression and function. N-linked glycosylation usually occurs at the sequon Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr, where Xaa is any amino acid residue except Pro. However, many Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequons are glycosylated inefficiently or not at all for reasons that are poorly understood. We have used a site-directed mutagenesis approach to examine how the Xaa and hydroxy (Ser/Thr) amino acid residues in sequons influence core-glycosylation efficiency. We recently demonstrated that certain Xaa amino acids inhibit core glycosylation of the sequon, Asn37-Xaa-Ser, in rabies virus glycoprotein (RGP). Here we examine the impact of different Xaa residues on core-glycosylation efficiency when the Ser residue in this sequon is replaced with Thr. The core-glycosylation efficiencies of RGP variants with different Asn37-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequons were compared by using a cell-free translation/glycosylation system. Using this approach we confirm that four Asn-Xaa-Ser sequons are poor oligosaccharide acceptors: Asn-Trp-Ser, Asn-Asp-Ser, Asn-Glu-Ser and Asn-Leu-Ser. In contrast, Asn-Xaa-Thr sequons are efficiently glycosylated, even when Xaa=Trp, Asp, Glu or Leu. A comparison of the glycosylation status of Asn-Xaa-Ser an...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
