Enzyme Catalysis and Immobilization

The biosynthesis of the hydroxyproline-rich cell wall protein involves several discrete cytoplasmic steps: the assembly of the polypeptide chain; the modification of this polypeptide through the hydroxylation of proline residues; the glycosylation of most of these hydroxyproline residues with arabinose. The glycoprotein is then transported to the cell wall.
