abstract：:Immature Drosophila rhodopsin is N-glycosylated, but undergoes complete deglycosylation during the process of protein maturation. In order to elucidate the site of glycosylation and its role in rhodopsin synthesis, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo synthesis of rhodopsin whose putative N-glycosylation sites (As...
