Abstract
Biochemistry Eukaryotes have an elaborate trafficking and quality-control system for secreted glycoproteins. The glycosylation pathway begins in the endoplasmic reticulum with the enzyme oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), which attaches a long chain of sugars to asparagine residues of target proteins. Wild et al. report a cryo–electron microscopy structure of yeast OST, which includes eight separate membrane proteins. The central catalytic subunit contains binding sites for substrates and is flanked by accessory subunits that may facilitate delivery of newly translocated proteins for glycosylation.
