N-linked glycosylation is an essential process in protein modification. This form of glycosylation is important in the folding and sorting of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the interaction between proteins and cells (Bai et. al., 2018)<ref>DOI 10.1038/nature25755<ref>. In humans, N-linked glycosylation is catalyzed co-translationally by an enzyme complex called oligosaccharyltransferase complex A (OST-A) in the rough ER. This means that the peptide chain is glycosylated by this complex as it is synthesized by the ribosome and enters the ER lumen through translocon protein Sec61 (Lu et. al., 2018). As suggested by the name, this enzyme complex transfers the high mannose fourteen-sugar chain from a lipid-linked oligosaccharide donor containing dolichol pyrophosphate to the peptide chain containing the Asn-X-Thr (N-X-T) sequence, where X is any amino acid but not Proline (Bai et.al., 2019). In addition, this enzyme complex is also part of the glycosyltransferase-C (GT-C) fold, which is a protein that has a transmembrane helical domain and a mix of α/β soluble domains (Bai and Li 2019). On this page, the structure of the OST-A and its components; its mechanism, and diseases associated with this complex are discussed.
