Biosynthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide intermediate

Biosynthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide intermediate
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: The five sequential mannosyl transfer reactions from GDP-mannose are catalyzed by separate glycosyltransferase s, as are the four mannosyl transfers from dolichol phosphate mannose.

The latter is synthesized in turn from GDP-mannose. The acceptor site on the polypeptide chain is an asparagine residue two positions to the N side of a serine or threonine.

The whole process occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum, with translocation to the lumen of the ER occurring after transfer of the fifth mannose residue.
