Structural features of free N-glycans occurring in plants and functional features of de-N-glycosylation enzymes, ENGase and PNGase: The presence of unusual plant complex type N-glycans.

Free N-glycans are present at micromolar concentrations in plant cells during their differentiation, growth, and maturation stages. It has been postulated that these free N-glycans (FNGs) are signaling molecules involved in plant development or fruit ripening. However, the hypothetical biochemical...
