Post-translational glycosylation is one of the most abundant forms of cova-lent protein modification in eukaryotic cells. It plays an important role in determining the properties of proteins, and stabilizes many proteins against thermal denaturation. Protein glycosylation may establish a surface micro-environment that resembles that of unglycosylated proteins in concentrated solutions of sugars and other polyols. | ỊFEBS Journal Highly site-selective stability increases by glycosylation of dihydrofolate reductase Lai-HockTey1 E.

It plays an important role in determining the properties of proteins and stabilizes many proteins against thermal denaturation. Protein glycosylation may establish a surface microenvironment that resembles that of unglycosylated proteins in concentrated solutions of sugars and other polyols. We have used site-directed mutagenesis to introduce a series of unique cysteine residues into a cysteine-free double mutant DM C85A C152S of dihydrofolate reductase from Escherichia coli EcDHFR . The resulting triple mutants DM-N18C DM-R52C DM-D87C and DM-D132C EcdHfR were alkylated with glucose N-acetylglucosamine lactose and maltotriose iodoacetamides. We found little effect on catalysis or stability in three cases. However when DM-D87C EcDHFR is glycosylated stability is increased by between and kcal-mol-1 in a sugar-dependent manner. D87 is found in a hinge region of EcDHFR that loses structure early in the thermal denaturation process whereas the other glycosylation sites are found in regions involved in the later stages of temperature-induced unfolding. Glycosylation at this site may improve the stability of
