ABSTRACT
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) provides a quality-control system for newly synthesized secretory and membrane proteins. Any improperly folded or incompletely assembled oligomers are retained in the ER, and they are retro-translocated into the cytosol when misfolding persists, where they are destroyed by the proteasome through ubiquitylation. This disposal process is called ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Although much is known about the fate of ERAD substrates near the point of degradation, little information is available about how these proteins are recognized, retained, and targeted for translocation and ubiquitylation machinery. Recent studies indicate that N-linked oligosaccharides attached to nascent proteins function as tags for several processes of a quality-control system, such as individual steps of ER-retention, selection for ERAD substrates, and ubiquitylation. In this review, I describe recent advances in the molecular basis of the ERAD system, particularly those mediated by N-glycan recognition molecules.
