Abstract
In eukaryotes, proteins that are secreted into the ER are mostly modified by N-glycans on
consensus NxS/T sites. The N-linked glycan subsequently undergoes varying degrees of
processing by enzymes which are spatially distributed over the ER and the Golgi apparatus.
The post-ER N-glycan processing to complex glycans differs between animals and plants,
with consequences for N-glycan and glycopeptide isolation and characterization of plant
glycoproteins. Here we describe some recent developments in plant glycoproteomics and
illustrate how general and plant specific technologies may be used to address different
important biological questions.
