Abstract excerpt
UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (GT) is a key component of the glycoprotein-specific folding and quality control system in the endoplasmic reticulum. By exclusively reglucosylating incompletely folded and assembled glycoproteins, it serves as a folding sensor that prolongs the association of newly synthesized glycoproteins with the chaperone-like lectins calnexin and calreticulin. Here, we address...
