Abstract excerpt
Oligosaccharyl transferase catalyzes the glycosylation of selected asparagine residues of nascent polypeptide chains as they are translocated into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. To date, this enzyme has been purified from a number of eukaryotic organisms. Purification of transferase activity has yielded polypeptide complexes of three to six subunits depending on the source organism. Here we present the...
