Question
O-linked glycosylation occurs on ___ residues of proteins.
a) Serine and Threonineb) Asparagine
c) Methionine
d) Acidic amino acid residues
Expert Solution
Step 1
- The attachment of sugar moieties to protein forms glycoprotein.
- It is one of the post-translation modifications of a protein that occurs after its translation.
- The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme glycosyltransferases.
- Nearly half of the proteins that are expressed in the cell undergo this modification.
- There are different types of glycosylation:
a. N-linked
b. O-linked
c. Glypiation
d. C-linked
e. Phosphoglycosylation
