21. Glycoproteins: functions of glyco moieties • increase protein’s solubility & hydrophilicity (sl 19) • stabilize protein against • denaturation • proteolysis • markers • direct protein's destination • organelle • plasma membrane • export (secretion) • indicate protein's lifetime (sl 21) • part of the protein's receptor recognition site (sl 23) • signal factors such as hormones, cytokines • cell-cell adhesion proteins Glycosylation:one kind of post-translational modificationothers: phosphorylation carboxylation 16

22. Glycoprotein structure 17 • polypeptide with 1 or more oligosaccharide side chains • oligosaccharide linked to polypeptide in two ways: type linked to side chain of organelle where sugars are added to protein O-linked serine (ser), threonine (thr), Golgi complex lumen (O-glycoside) hydroxylysine (in collagen) N-linked asparagine (asn) rough ER lumen (N-glycoside)

23. Glyco moiety structure • oligosaccharide chain extends away from protein surface • units mostly hexoses in pyranose (6-atom ring) form • branched • glycosidic links varied:  or  1,2; 1,3; 1,4 • terminal sugaroften sialate 2 asn 7 2 7 asn 18 Stryer 4ed., p. 463

24. Mucins: salivary glycoproteins • mol wt ~ 106 • ~800 short (disaccharide) side chains • terminal sugar is sialate • anionic sugar • at end of glyco chains of many glycoproteins • very hydrophilic, extended structure ~ ~ galNAc sialate – 2 19

25. Mucins: modification & aggregation ~ ~ ~ ~ • sialidase (neuraminidase) • catalyzes hydrolysis of sialates from mucins • secreted by oral bacteria • products: • less hydrophilic, less H2O-soluble, more folded, more aggregated • part of the enamel pellicle & dental plaque matrix ~ ~ galNAc sialate x H2O sialidase x 20

26. Role of glyco moiety in controlling protein lifetime • many blood proteins have glyco chains with terminal sialate • endothelial surface sialidases slowly remove sialates from these circulating proteins • rate of sialate removal depends on protein's structure • now-exposed gal–glcNAc… residues bind to asialoglycoprotein receptor on liver cell surface • protein is then endocytosed & broken down sialoglycoprotein:sia–gal–glcNAc–[core sugars]–protein asialoglycoprotein:gal–glcNAc–[core sugars]–protein 21

28. Glyco moiety-binding proteins: lectins • contain sites that bind specific glyco structures • e.g., asialoglycoprotein receptor described on sl 21 • important in intercell adhesion (i.e., lectins are CAMs: cell adhesion molecules) • selectins:plasmamembranelectins thatmediatecell-cellrecognition& adhesion Lehninger et al.Fig. 7-37 23
