Abstract excerpt
N-glycanase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Png1) preferentially removes N-glycans from misfolded proteins. The ability of Png1 to distinguish between folded and misfolded glycoproteins is reminiscent of substrate recognition by UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyl transferase, an enzyme that possesses this trait. The only known in vivo substrates of Png1 are aberrant glycoproteins that originate in the endoplasmic...
