N-Glycosylation is a vital post‐translational modification in archaea that involves the attachment of oligosaccharide chains to specific asparagine residues on target proteins. This process not only ...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) uses the spike antigens on its surface to mediate host cell attachment and entry. A new Virology journal study shows that the ...
The sugar residues decorating the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 are essential to the viral-receptor binding. A new study explores the glycosylation of the S protein and its functional implications, ...
Plant pathogenic fungi deploy secreted effectors to suppress plant immunity responses. These effectors operate either in the apoplast or within host cells, so they are putatively glycosylated, but the ...
A variety of proteins are postranslationally modified with clustered sites of O-glycosylation. These are serine and threonine rich stretches within the amino acid sequence that have short O-glycan ...
