Asparagine (Asn, N)-linked glycosylation is a conserved process and an essential post-translational modification that occurs on the NXT/S motif of the nascent polypeptides in endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The mechanism of N-glycosylation and biological functions of key catalytic enzymes involved in this process are rarely documented for oomycetes. In this study, an N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin (TM) hampered the mycelial growth, sporangial release, and zoospore production of , indicating that N-glycosylation was crucial for oomycete growth development. Among the key catalytic enzymes involved in N-glycosylation, the gene was characterized by its functions in . As a core subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex, the staurosporine and temperature sensive 3B (STT3B) subunit were critical for the catalytic activity of OST. The gene has catalytic activity and is highly conservative in . By using a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene replacement system to delete the gene, the transformants impaired mycelial growth, sporangial release, zoospore production, and virulence. The -deleted transformants were more sensitive to an ER stress inducer TM and display low glycoprotein content in the mycelia, suggesting that PcSTT3B was associated with ER stress responses and N-glycosylation. Therefore, PcSTT3B was involved in the development, pathogenicity, and N-glycosylation of .
