Abstract excerpt
The modification of proteins at asparagine residues with oligosaccharides (N-glycans) plays critical roles in diverse cell functions. N-glycans originate from a common lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor whose synthesis is initiated by the Dol-P-dependent GlcNAc-1-P transferase (GPT) encoded by an essential ALG7 gene. To identify cellular processes affected by ALG7 and N-glycosylation, we replaced the...
