Oligosaccharyltransferase (OT) transfers high mannose-type glycans to the nascent polypeptides that are translated by the membrane-bound ribosome and translocated into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum through the Sec61 translocon complex. In this article, we show that purified ribosomes and OT can form a binary complex with a stoichiometry of approximately 1 to 1 in the presence of detergent. We present evidence that OT may bind to the large ribosomal subunit near the site where nascent po ...[more]
