Hi Savvas,

Thank you for kindly pointing to our review. Bernhard, in my experience your
case is a rare exception rather than the rule, so indeed lucky. Adrian
summarised very nicely the wide impact glycans may have on folding,
trafficking and/or function. To keep things simple, there is no need to mutate
the N-glycosilation sites for structural work (other than perhaps to probe
their impact, but people don't seem to do this normally). PMID: 17355862
describes how to deal with these if the aim is to improve crystal quality. For
cryo-EM, glycans should definitely stay on. Why would one risk solving
meaningless structures?

Best wishes,

Radu

>Dear Bernhard
>Our campaigns over the years aiming to produce mammalian cytokines and the
ectodomains of cytokine receptors via eukaryotic expression systems (mainly
in several HEK293 flavors) for structural biology, have taught us that the
N-linked glycosylation issue remains a very empirical exercise. Our protein
targets are typically 15-70 kDa and have 2-6 predicted N-linked glycosylation
sites. For instance, we have seen that elimination of even one such site by
mutagenesis can abrogate protein secretion. So for those cases one may even
make an argument for a glycosylation ‘hotspot'.  Also, eliminating all
possible N-linked glycosylation sites at once in the couple of cases tried
has been synonymous with zero protein secretion. Our consensus of the
‘magic combo’ in terms of expression levels and stability is a reduction
of N-linked glycosylation sites by up to 1/3. Such reduced levels of
glycosylation also appear to be amenable for enzymatic glycan trimming in
subsequent stages of sample preparation with good results.

may provide some additional perspectives.
