10. In eukaryotic cells, glycosylation activity of membrane proteins is found in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is accomplished by the enzyme oligosaccharyl transferase (OST), which adds oligosaccharides to the amino group of Asn residues of the consensus sequence Asn-X-Thr/Ser. a. The following ER membrane protein construct has a cytosolic N-terminal region and a membrane-spanning variable sequence. The variable sequence is a signal anchor (SA) sequence. Would you expect the C-terminal region of the B subunit to be glycosylated? Why or why not? variable sequence C-terminal region of B-subunit N-terminal region b. An additional transmembrane region is added to the construct prior to the variable sequence, as shown below. The transmembrane is a signal anchor (SA) sequence, while the variable sequence is a stop transfer anchor (STA) sequence. Would you expect the C-terminal region of the B subunit to be glycosylated? Why or why not? C-terminal region of B-subunit variable sequence N-terminal region transmembrane segment Page 10 of 10
