Super interesting work from @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social group about the effects of glycosylation in protein structure and function at the proteome scale 🤯💥🤩 Results show that sialylation and fucosylation are crucial, which makes a lot of sense. We did some extra bits 🧐 with GlycoShape ⬇️🧵
Congratulations former postdoc @jfhevler.bsky.social (in transit to Roche) and the team on their work using thermal proteome profiling along with glycosylation perturbagens to discover glycan-dependent protein functions at the proteome scale 👏 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
(1) Happy to share our latest work: We developed an approach to systematically investigate how glycosylation controls protein function across the proteome—and what goes wrong when it is disrupted. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Discovering Glycosylation-Dependent Protein Function by Thermal Proteome Profiling
Protein glycosylation regulates essential cellular processes including protein folding, stability, and cell-cell interactions; however, how aberrant glycosylation impacts protein function and interact...
