Abstract excerpt
Immature Drosophila rhodopsin is N-glycosylated, but undergoes complete deglycosylation during the process of protein maturation. In order to elucidate the site of glycosylation and its role in rhodopsin synthesis, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo synthesis of rhodopsin whose putative N-glycosylation sites (Asn-20 and Asn-196) were replaced by isoleucine. The results demonstrated that immature rhodopsin...
