Abstract

By in vitro transcription/translation of model proteins in the presence of dog pancreas microsomes, we have measured the minimum distance of an acceptor site from the lumenal end of a transmembrane segment required for N-linked glycosylation, both when the acceptor site is placed N- and C-terminally to the membrane anchor. We observe a sharp threshold at a distance of 12-14 residues, suggesting that the oligosaccharyltransferase active site is 30-40 A above the membrane and is oriented roughly parallel to the membrane surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
