Figure 4

Examples of O-glycans and glycolipids. Depicted are example structures of (i) O-linked glycosaminoglycans (the α/β4 and β3/4 indicate the difference between chondroitin and heparan chains), (ii) neutral and zwitterionic glycosphingolipids, (iii) “core I” and “core II” mucin-type O-glycans, whereby the latter with a GalNAc modified with fucose and glucuronic acid are unrelated to the core 2 structures found in mammals, and (iv) the simple monosaccharide modifications of EGF, TSR and cytosolic proteins (O-Fuc, O-GlcNAc, and C-Man). The glycolipid and O-glycan structures are based on the work of various laboratories (Gerdt et al., 1997, 1999; Guérardel et al., 2001; Cipollo et al., 2004a; Griffitts et al., 2005; Palaima et al., 2010; Parsons et al., 2014; Wohlschlager et al., 2014).
