En-bloc
transfer of the
|
|
|
oligosaccharide
to the
|
|
|
protein
|
|
| • |
One
step transfer, catalyzed by
|
|
|
oligosaccharyl
transferase, which
|
|
is
bound to the membrane at the
|
|
|
translocator.

Covalently
attached to certain

|
|
asparagines
in the polypeptide
|
|
|
chain
(said to be “N-linked”
|
|
|
glycosylation).

|
|
