#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Prior to transfer to a nascent chain in the lumen of the  ER, the oligosaccharide precursor is assembled on amembrane- attached anchor called dolichol phosphate, a longchain polyisoprenoid lipid

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

First sugar residue is attached to dolichol by a high-energy pyrophosphate linkage & the other sugars are added by glycosidic bonds

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Two N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and five mannose residues are added one at a time to a dolichol phosphate on the cytosolic face of the ER membrane

The precursor oligosaccharide is transferred from a

dolichol lipid anchor to the asparagine as an intact unit in a reaction catalyzed by a transmembrane oligosaccharyl transferase enzyme complex.
