1
Q

N-glycosylation of proteins

A

Protein synthesis begins and the polypeptide chain is extruded into the rER

A mamnose-rich oligosacharide is synthesized on lipid dolichol-PP=pyrophosphate, dolichol has many isoprene units which anchor it in the rER membrane

The oligosacharide is transferred from dolichol to amide N of an asparagine of polypeptide

Trimming of the carbo chain begins as he protein moves thru rER

In Golgi, further trimming and/or addition of monosaccharides, form complex glycoproteins and high-mannose glycoproteins

N-glycosylated glycoproteins are transported into lysosomes, secreted into the blood, or incorporated into the PM

Q

I-cell disease

A

Caused by a deficiency to phosphorylate mannose

Characterized by skeletal abnormalities, restricted joint movement, coarse facial features, and severe phychomotor impairment

Death usually occurs by 8yo

Different molecules are not degraded and accumulate forming inclusion bodies

Diagnosis: detection of inclusions in lymphocytes or cultured skin fibroblasts, released lysosomal enzyme into blood

Mucolipidosis type II

Q

Mannose 6-P receptors

A

In the trans-Golgi bind the marked enzymes and package them into vesicles for transport into lysosomes

Recycled and enzyme is active inside lysosomes after cleavage of the phosphate of the M6P marker

Q

Steps for O-glycosylation of proteins

A

Protein is synthesized on the rER and extrudes into its lumen

The first sugar is enzymatically transferred and linked directly to OH or ser and thr or hydroxylysine

Sugars in O-linkage are added individually directly to the protein mainly in the Golgi by glycosyl transferase bound to the Golgi membrane

Enzyme recognize actual structure and add individually the appropriate sugar

used in synthesis of proteoglycans, glycocalyx, blood group, and mucins

Q

Structure of glycosaminoglycans = GAGs

A

Long, branched chains of negatively charged sugars, often sulfated

Repeating disaccharide units:
