When thinking about glycosylation, we mainly think of proteins or proteoglycans, which is not
surprising as glycosylation is the second most frequent post-translational modification …

We recently identified glycoRNA—a previously undescribed glycoconjugate—which
consists of RNAs modified with secretory N-glycans and presented on the cell surface. While …

Recently, the post‐transcriptional modification of RNA with N‐glycans was reported,
changing the paradigm that RNAs are not commonly N‐glycosylated. Moreover, glycan …

A recent ground-breaking study suggested that small RNA from mammalian cells can
undergo N-glycan modifications (termed glycoRNA). The discovery relied upon a metabolic …

Little is known about the biological roles of glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), a recently
discovered class of glycosylated molecules, because of a lack of visualization methods. We …

A New Dimension in the RNA World Discoveries in noncoding RNA have shown it to be
remarkably diverse in function and form and to have relevance in drug development. A …

Glycans modify lipids and proteins to mediate inter-and intramolecular interactions across all
domains of life. RNA is not thought to be a major target of glycosylation. Here, we challenge …

The elucidation of the biological role of glycan is one of the most important issues to be
resolved following the genome project. RNA interference is becoming an efficient reverse …
