one of five different types of protein glycosylation and it is the most common type of such alteration
N-linked glycosylation
N-linked glycosylation occurs in
endoplasmic reticulum
N-linked glycosylation involves building a part of the glycosyl chain on a molecule called __________
dolichol pyrophosphate
True or False: N-linked glycosylation commonly occurs in eukaryotes, some in archaean cells, and rarely in bacteria
True
Bonds between the sugars of the glycan are ____________ and usually occur between carbons ___________
glycosidic; 1&4
consensus sequence of the protein attachment site of N-glycosylation is _____________
asparagine
What is the sequence of N-glycosylation?
Asn-X-Ser/Thr
What is the X in Asn-X-Ser/Thr
any amino acid except proline
The process of making N-linked protein begins with synthesis of pre-oligosaccharide on the terminal phosphate of __________
dolichol pyrophosphate
The process of making N-linked protein begins with synthesis of pre-oligosaccharide on the ___________ of dolichol pyrophosphate
terminal phosphate
lipid molecule comprised of multiple isoprene units
dolichol
How is pre-oligosaccharide assembled?
Two molecules of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine donate N-acetylglucosamine to pyrophosphate.
Five molecules of GDP-mannose donate mannose to the N-acetylglucosamines.
True or False: dolichol-sugar complex flips with respect to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, moving the sugar from facing cytoplasm to facing the inside of ER lumen
True
dolichol-sugar complex flips with respect to the ___________, moving the sugar from facing cytoplasm to facing the inside of ER lumen
endoplasmic reticulum membrane
dolichol-sugar complex flips with respect to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, moving the sugar from facing _____ to facing the inside of __________
cytoplasm; ER lumen`
