cord-313694-p2sgaypq	West, Christopher M.	Current ideas on the significance of protein glycosylation	1986		.txt	text/plain	10897	534	36	The alternate view is that carbohydrate structures participate in numerous specific interactions with discrete protein receptors, and that these interactions lead to predictable modifications in the localization or activity of the glycoprotein. The notion of a 'non-specific' role for carbohydrate has received perhaps its strongest support from studies on cells whose glycosylation processes have been globally altered by mutation or drugs. Consideration of the possible role of carbohydrate in other molecular associations with the plasma membrane will be considered below in sections on hormone-receptor interactions and cellsubstratum (e.g., extracellular matrix) and cell-cell adhesion. Considerable evidence has been adduced that various parasites such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa, etc., possess carbohydrate binding proteins which can interact with sugar structures on the surfaces of cells with which the parasites associate (167, 168, (116) (117) (118) (119) . In any case, antibodies and lectins may model potential receptors in cells which might specifically recognize carbohydrate-associated structures.	./cache/cord-313694-p2sgaypq.txt	./txt/cord-313694-p2sgaypq.txt
