Abstract excerpt
It has been postulated that creation of Man8GlcNAc2 isomer B (M8B) by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) alpha-mannosidase I constitutes a signal for driving irreparably misfolded glycoproteins to proteasomal degradation. Contrary to a previous report, we were able to detect in vivo (but not in vitro) an extremely feeble ER alpha-mannosidase activity in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The enzyme yielded M8B on degradation of...
