Signal peptidase and oligosaccharyltransferase interact in a sequential and dependent manner within the endoplasmic reticulum

J Biol Chem. 2001 Jan 26;276(4):2411-6. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M007723200. Epub 2000 Oct 31.

Abstract

We demonstrate that the signal peptides of prepro-alpha-factor and preinvertase must be cleaved before Asn-X-Ser/Thr acceptor tripeptides located near the signal peptides of these precursors can be efficiently glycosylated within the endoplasmic reticulum of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The data support a model whereby the interaction of a signal peptide with the membrane prevents an acceptor tripeptide juxtaposed to the signal peptide from accessing the oligosaccharyltransferase active site until the signal peptide is cleaved.
