Abstrakt: The generation of free N -glycans, or unconjugated oligosaccharides derived from N -linked glycoproteins, is well understood, but whether a similar fate awaits O -linked glycoprotein carbohydrates was unknown. Hirayama et al. now reveal, by using only mannose as an energy source, the generation of free O -glycans in Saccharomyces cerevisiae , in the lumen of a secretory compartment, possibly the vacuole. These findings uncover the presence of a possible regulated degradation pathway for O -mannosylated glycoproteins.
