Protein glycosylation is widespread throughout all three domains of life. Bacterial protein N-glycosylation and its application to engineering recombinant glycoproteins continue to be actively studied. Here, we focus on advances made in the last 2 years, including the characterization of novel bacterial N-glycosylation pathways, examination of pathway enzymes and evolution, biological roles of protein modification in the native host, and exploitation of the N-glycosylation pathways to create novel vaccines and diagnostics.
蛋白质糖基化广泛存在于所有三个生命领域。细菌蛋白 N-糖基化及其在工程重组糖蛋白中的应用仍在积极研究中。在这里,我们重点介绍了过去 2 年取得的进展,包括新型细菌 N-糖基化途径的特征、途径酶和进化的研究、蛋白质修饰在天然宿主中的生物学作用以及利用 N-糖基化途径创造新型疫苗和诊断方法。
