Genomic and Biochemical Analysis of N Glycosylation in the Mushroom-Forming Basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune.

N-linked glycans of Schizophylluin commune consist of Man5-9GIcNAc2 structures. Lack of further glycan maturation is explained by the absence of genes encoding such functions in this and other homobasidiomy- cetes. N-linked glycans in vegetative mycelium and fruiting bodies of S. commune are mainly Man7GlcNAc2 and Man5GlcNAc2, respectively, suggesting more efficient mannose trimming in the mushroom.
