Figure 1. The initial composition of an N-linked glycan.

Figure 1

The primary structure of the GlcNAc2Man9Glc3 glycan transferred to Asn residues in glycosylation sequons (Asn-Xxx-Ser/Thr sequences, where Xxx is any amino acid other than Pro). Symbols and colors for monosaccharides are those recommended by the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (http://www.functionalglycomics.org/). The modes of linkage for the residues of the glycan are indicated next to the lines joining the symbols (e.g., β4 indicates a β1–4 linkage, etc.).
