    Abstract

    Glucosidase II, one of the early N-glycan processing enzymes and a major player in the glycoprotein folding quality control, has been described as a soluble heterodimer composed of α and β subunits. Here we present the first characterization of a plant glucosidase II α subunit at the molecular level. Expression of the Arabidopsis α subunit restored N-glycan maturation capacity in Schizosaccharomyces pombe α- or αβ-deficient mutants, but with a lower efficiency in the last case. Inactivation of the α subunit in a temperature sensitive Arabidopsis mutant blocked N-glycan processing after a first trimming by glucosidase I and strongly affected seedling development.
