N-glycosylation enzyme Mpi is essential for mucin O-glycosylation, host-microbe homeostasis, Paneth cell defense, and metabolism

Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Intestinal homeostasis relies on a protective mucus layer that separates bacteria from the host, with Muc2 as its primary component. This secreted, gel-forming mucin is heavily O-glycosylated, allowing it to retain water and support beneficial bacteria. For the first time, we demonstrate that Muc2 N-glycosylation plays a critical in mucin maturation, O-glycosylation, barrier integrity,...
