Polypeptide GalNAc-transferases decorate proteins with dense arrays of O-glycans, which in the case of mucins are essential for their barrier functions. Here the authors present comprehensive structural studies that shed light on the molecular attributes that allow GalNAc-T2 to efficiently carry out dense O-glycosylation.
