High-resolution mastigoneme structure reveals 5',5'-phosphodiesters stabilized glycan folding

Here, we report a cryo-EM structure of the heavily glycosylated Chlamydomonas mastigoneme at 2.3-2.5 angstrom resolutions. In addition to enabling analysis of accurate interactions for glycosyl packing, the high resolution map reveals an unprecedented 5',5'-phosphodiester bond that links adjacent glycan chains attached to hydroxyproline (Hyp) residues n and n+3. Structural analysis reveals a secondary structural element for glycoconjugates, which we name the poly-Hyp (pHP) glycohelix. Our work represents an important advancement in deciphering glycan folding.
