摘要: Human CD69 is uniquely glycosylated at typical (Asn-X-Ser/Thr) and atypical (Asn-X-Cys) motifs, which represents the molecular basis for formation of homodimers heterodimers. Here we examined importance N-glycosylation assembly intracellular transport proteins using mutant molecules that specifically lack N-glycan attachment motifs. These studies verify Cys residues in triplet sequences addition to human endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In addition, these data demonstrate monoglycosylated (bearing N-glycans exclusively or sites) aglycosylated (lacking N-glycans) efficiently dimerize ER have similar stability as wild-type molecules. Finally, results show lacking sites are transported plasma membrane.
