Posttranslational glycosylation of proteins is inhibited specifically by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tunicamycin specifically inhibits posttranslational glycosylation of proteins by inhibiting the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine to dolichol phosphate in the endoplasmic reticulum, which is a critical step in the beginning of the glycosylation process. A, B, C, and D inhibit different steps in protein synthesis or bacterial growth and do not specifically target glycosylation.
