41. Cotranslational glycosylation take place at the asparagine in the Asn-X-Ser or Asn-X-Thr motifs. 42. There are many asparagine shift is seen at amino acid 548 with a 1.8 % prevalence in the population. 43. Cincinnati-based manufacturer Procter & Gamble Co . says its scientists, too, have found the asparagine connection. 44. Now scientists know it apparently forms when a naturally occurring amino acid called asparagine is heated with certain sugars such as glucose. 45. Asparagine also provides key sites for N-linked glycosylation, modification of the protein chain with the addition of carbohydrate chains.46. In addition, although the amides of asparagine and glutamine are weak nucleophiles, both can serve as attachment points for glycans. 47. As a result, asparagine cannot take part in the Maillard reaction, and therefore the formation of acrylamide is significantly reduced. 48. The systematic name of this enzyme class is "'L-asparagine : hydroxylamine gamma-aspartyltransferase " '. 49. Similar to the case of Mi-I this mutation results in a loss of the glycosylation at the asparagine 26 residue. 50. It differs from other members of this subfamily in that its putative catalytic triad contains an asparagine instead of the serine residue.
