Secretory proteins in yeast are N- and O-glycosylated while they enter the endoplasmic reticulum. N- glycosylation is initiated by the oligosaccharyl transferase complex and O-mannosylation is initiated by distinct O-mannosyltransferase complexes of the protein mannosyl transferase Pmt1/Pmt2 and Pmt4 families. Using covalently linked cell-wall protein 5 (Ccw5) as a model, we show that the Pmt4 and Pmt1/Pmt2 mannosyltransferases glycosylate different domains of the Ccw5 protein, thereby mannosylating several consecutive serine and threonine residues. In addition, it is shown that O-mannosylation by Pmt4 prevents N- glycosylation by blocking the hydroxy amino acid of the single N- glycosylation site present in Ccw5. These data prove that the O- and N- glycosylation machineries compete for Ccw5; therefore O- mannosylation by Pmt4 precedes N- glycosylation.
