GLYCOSYLATION

Specialty Definition: GLYCOSYLATION

DomainDefinition

Health

The chemical or biochemical addition of carbohydrate or glycosyl groups to other chemicals, especially peptides or proteins. Glycosyl transferases are used in this biochemical reaction. (references)

Medicine

The glycosylation of(addition of carbohydrate to)proteins occurs in the endoplasmatic reticulum, where "core" sugars are added to the protein chain and in the Golgi body where peripheral sugars are added. Since bacteria possess neither ER nor Golgi apparatus, they cannot be used to produce foreign proteins which require carbohydrates for expression of their activity. Source: European Union.

Non-Fiction Usage: GLYCOSYLATION

SubjectTopicQuote

Health

G1 and G2 glycoproteins form heterodimers and are then transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex, where glycosylation is completed. (references)

Although G protein synthesis is initiated on free ribosomes, completion of synthesis and glycosylation (processing of the glycoprotein), occurs in the endoplamsic reticulum (ER) and golgi apparatus. (references)

Though NMH10 and NMR11 are identical in protein sequence, nucleotide substitutions in nontranslated regions of the genome could be responsible for altered viral phenotypes, as could changes in protein glycosylation or virus membrane components. (references)
