Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glycosyl groups to an acceptor. Most often another carbohydrate molecule acts as an acceptor, but inorganic phosphate can also act as an acceptor, such as in the case of PHOSPHORYLASES. Some of the enzymes in this group also catalyze hydrolysis, which can be regarded as transfer of a glycosyl group from the donor to water.

Demonstration of molecular interactions between the murein polymerase PBP1B, the lytic transglycosylase MltA, and the scaffolding protein MipA of Escherichia coli. (1/1334)

Enlargement of the stress-bearing murein sacculus of bacteria depends on the coordinated interaction of murein synthases and hydrolases. To understand the mechanism of interaction of these two classes of proteins affinity chromatography and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies were performed. The membrane-bound lytic transglycosylase MltA when covalently linked to CNBr-activated Sepharose specifically retained the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1B, 1C, 2, and 3 from a crude Triton X-100 membrane extract of Escherichia coli. In the presence of periplasmic proteins also PBP1A was specifically bound. At least five different non-PBPs showed specificity for MltA-Sepharose. The amino-terminal amino acid sequence of one of these proteins could be obtained, and the corresponding gene was mapped at 40 min on the E. coli genome. This MltA-interacting protein, named MipA, in addition binds to PBP1B, a bifunctional murein transglycosylase/transpeptidase. SPR studies with PBP1B immobilized to ampicillin-coated sensor chips showed an oligomerization of PBP1B that may indicate a dimerization. Simultaneous application of MipA and MltA onto a PBP1B sensor chip surface resulted in the formation of a trimeric complex. The dissociation constant was determined to be about 10(-6) M. The formation of a complex between a murein polymerase (PBP1B) and a murein hydrolase (MltA) in the presence of MipA represents a first step in a reconstitution of the hypothetical murein-synthesizing holoenzyme, postulated to be responsible for controlled growth of the stress-bearing sacculus of E. coli.  (+info)

Dynamic expression of lunatic fringe suggests a link between notch signaling and an autonomous cellular oscillator driving somite segmentation. (2/1334)

The metameric organization of the vertebrate trunk is a characteristic feature of all members of this phylum. The origin of this metamerism can be traced to the division of paraxial mesoderm into individual units, termed somites, during embryonic development. Despite the identification of somites as the first overt sign of segmentation in vertebrates well over 100 years ago, the mechanism(s) underlying somite formation remain poorly understood. Recently, however, several genes have been identified which play prominent roles in orchestrating segmentation, including the novel secreted factor lunatic fringe. To gain further insight into the mechanism by which lunatic fringe controls somite development, we have conducted a thorough analysis of lunatic fringe expression in the unsegmented paraxial mesoderm of chick embryos. Here we report that lunatic fringe is expressed predominantly in somite -II, where somite I corresponds to the most recently formed somite and somite -I corresponds to the group of cells which will form the next somite. In addition, we show that lunatic fringe is expressed in a highly dynamic manner in the chick segmental plate prior to somite formation and that lunatic fringe expression cycles autonomously with a periodicity of somite formation. Moreover, the murine ortholog of lunatic fringe undergoes a similar cycling expression pattern in the presomitic mesoderm of somite stage mouse embryos. The demonstration of a dynamic periodic expression pattern suggests that lunatic fringe may function to integrate notch signaling to a cellular oscillator controlling somite segmentation.  (+info)

Hyaluronan synthase expression in bovine eyes. (3/1334)

PURPOSE: Hyaluronan (HA), a high-molecular-weight linear glycosaminoglycan, is a component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). It is expressed in eyes and plays important roles in many biologic processes, including cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Hyaluronan is produced by HA synthase (HAS), which has three isoforms: HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3. In this study, the HAS expression in the anterior segment of bovine eyes was investigated to determine the significance of HA in eyes. METHODS: To obtain bovine HAS probes, degenerate oligonucleotide primers, based on well-conserved amino acid sequences including the catalytic region of each HAS isoform, were used for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to amplify mRNA from bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCECs). Hyaluronan synthase-1 expression in the anterior segment of bovine eyes at the protein level was investigated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: All three HAS isoforms were expressed in BCECs at the mRNA level. Amplified cDNA fragments of HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3 from BCECs can be aligned to human counterparts, showing similarities of 100%, 97.3%, and 100%, respectively, at the amino acid level. Hyaluronan synthase 1 was expressed at the protein level in corneal epithelium, keratocyte, corneal endothelium, conjunctival epithelium, ciliary epithelium, capillary endothelium, and trabecular meshwork. CONCLUSIONS: Hyaluronan synthase isoforms were expressed in the ocular anterior segment and are speculated to be involved in HA production in situ.  (+info)

First, we show that O-glycosylation potential depends on cell type. All three lepidopteran cell lines express GalNAcalpha-O-Ser/Thr antigen, which is recognized by soy bean agglutinin and reflects high UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry studies revealed the presence of at least two different UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases in these insect cells. Only some O-linked GalNAc residues are further processed by the addition of beta1,3-linked Gal residues to form T-antigen, as shown by the binding of peanut agglutinin. This reflects relative low levels of UDP-Gal:core-1 beta1,3-galactosyltransferase in insect cells, as compared to those observed in mammalian control cells. In addition, we detected strong binding of Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin-I isolectin B4 to Mamestra brassicae endogenous glycoproteins, which suggests a high activity of a UDP-Gal:Galbeta1-3GalNAc alpha1, 4-galactosyltransferase. This explains the absence of PNA binding to Mamestra brassicae glycoproteins. Furthermore, our results substantiated that there is no sialyltransferase activity and, therefore, no terminal sialic acid production by these cell lines. Finally, we found that the culture medium influences the O-glycosylation potential of each cell line.  (+info)

Genetic localization and molecular characterization of two key genes (mitAB) required for biosynthesis of the antitumor antibiotic mitomycin C. (5/1334)

Mitomycin C (MC) is an antitumor antibiotic derived biosynthetically from 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid (AHBA), D-glucosamine, and carbamoyl phosphate. A gene (mitA) involved in synthesis of AHBA has been identified and found to be linked to the MC resistance locus, mrd, in Streptomyces lavendulae. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that mitA encodes a 388-amino-acid protein that has 71% identity (80% similarity) with the rifamycin AHBA synthase from Amycolatopsis mediterranei, as well as with two additional AHBA synthases from related ansamycin antibiotic-producing microorganisms. Gene disruption and site-directed mutagenesis of the S. lavendulae chromosomal copy of mitA completely blocked the production of MC. The function of mitA was confirmed by complementation of an S. lavendulae strain containing a K191A mutation in MitA with AHBA. A second gene (mitB) encoding a 272-amino-acid protein (related to a group of glycosyltransferases) was identified immediately downstream of mitA that upon disruption resulted in abrogation of MC synthesis. This work has localized a cluster of key genes that mediate assembly of the unique mitosane class of natural products.  (+info)

Preferential expression of biotransformation enzymes in the olfactory organs of Drosophila melanogaster, the antennae. (6/1334)

Biotransformation enzymes have been found in the olfactory epithelium of vertebrates. We now show that in Drosophila melanogaster, a UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT), as well as a short chain dehydrogenase/reductase and a cytochrome P450 are expressed specifically or preferentially in the olfactory organs, the antennae. The evolutionarily conserved expression of biotransformation enzymes in olfactory organs suggests that they play an important role in olfaction. In addition, we describe five Drosophila UGTs belonging to two families. All five UGTs contain a putative transmembrane domain at their C terminus as is the case for vertebrate UGTs where it is required for enzymatic activity. The primary sequence of the C terminus, including part of the transmembrane domain, differs between the two families but is highly conserved not only within each Drosophila family, but also between the members of one of the Drosophila families and vertebrate UGTs. The partial overlap of the conserved primary sequence with the transmembrane domain suggests that this part of the protein is involved in specific interactions occurring at the membrane surface. The presence of different C termini in the two Drosophila families suggests that they interact with different targets, one of which is conserved between Drosophila and vertebrates.  (+info)

Bordetella pertussis waaA encodes a monofunctional 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid transferase that can complement an Escherichia coli waaA mutation. (7/1334)

Bordetella pertussis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contains a single 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) residue, whereas LPS from Escherichia coli contains at least two. Here we report that B. pertussis waaA encodes an enzyme capable of transferring only a single Kdo during the biosynthesis of LPS and that this activity is sufficient to complement an E. coli waaA mutation.  (+info)

Glycosyltransferase domain of penicillin-binding protein 2a from Streptococcus pneumoniae is membrane associated. (8/1334)

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are bacterial cytoplasmic membrane proteins that catalyze the final steps of the peptidoglycan synthesis. Resistance to beta-lactams in Streptococcus pneumoniae is caused by low-affinity PBPs. S. pneumoniae PBP 2a belongs to the class A high-molecular-mass PBPs having both glycosyltransferase (GT) and transpeptide (TP) activities. Structural and functional studies of both domains are required to unravel the mechanisms of resistance, a prerequisite for the development of novel antibiotics. The extracellular region of S. pneumoniae PBP 2a has been expressed (PBP 2a*) in Escherichia coli as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein. The acylation kinetic parameters of PBP 2a* for beta-lactams were determined by stopped-flow fluorometry. The acylation efficiency toward benzylpenicillin was much lower than that toward cefotaxime, a result suggesting that PBP 2a participates in resistance to cefotaxime and other beta-lactams, but not in resistance to benzylpenicillin. The TP domain was purified following limited proteolysis. PBP 2a* required detergents for solubility and interacted with lipid vesicles, while the TP domain was water soluble. We propose that PBP 2a* interacts with the cytoplasmic membrane in a region distinct from its transmembrane anchor region, which is located between Lys 78 and Ser 156 of the GT domain.  (+info)

Chumpen Ramirez S et at, Biochem J., 2017. Ganglioside glycosyltransferases (GGTs) are type-II membrane proteins bearing a short N-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a transmembrane domain (TMD), and a lumenal catalytic domain. The expression and activity of these enzymes largely determine the quality of the glycolipids that decorate mammalian cells membranes. Many glycosyltransferases are themselves glycosylated and this is important for their proper localisation, but few if any other post-translational modifications of these proteins have been reported. Here we show that the GGTs, ST3Gal-V, ST8Sia-I, and β4GalNAcT-I are S-acylated at conserved cysteine residues located close the cytoplasmic border of their TMDs. ST3Gal-II, a GT that sialylates glycolipids and glycoproteins, is also S-acylated at a conserved cysteine located in the N-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Many others GTs also possess cysteine residues in their cytoplasmic regions suggesting that this modification occurs on these GTs as well. ...

Catalyzes xyloglucan endohydrolysis (XEH) and/or endotransglycosylation (XET). Cleaves and religates xyloglucan polymers, an essential constituent of the primary cell wall, and thereby participates in cell wall construction of growing tissues (By similarity).
This family of glycoside hydrolases exclusively contains phosphorylases that cleave β-glycosidic bonds. The substrate specificities found in GH94 are: cellobiose (Glc-β1,4-Glc) phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.20), cellodextrin ((Glc-β1,4-)n-1Glc; n ≥ 3) phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.49), and N,N-diacetyl chitobiose (GlcNAc-β1,4-GlcNAc) phosphorylase. Moreover, a phosphorylase domain belonging to this family is found in cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase, a modular protein that also contains a glycosyltransferase domain from Glycosyltransferase Family 84 [1]. The GH94 domain is thought to phosphorolyze protein-bound β-1,2-glucans synthesized from UDP-glucose by the GT84 domain. GH94 enzymes were initially classified in Glycosyltransferase Family 36 because none of them show hydrolytic activity. However because of the evolutionary, structural and mechanistic relatedness with clan GH-L glycoside hydrolases, the family was re-assigned to family GH94 [2]. ...
A detailed explanation of the catalytic mechanism employed by these enzymes can be found on the Glycosyltransferases lexicon page. Note: Transglycosylases are distinct from glycosyltransferases. Although both formally catalyze glycosyl transfer, i.e. transfer of a glycosyl residue from a donor substrate to an acceptor substrate,transglycosylases are mechanistically and structurally related to the glycoside hydrolases. Specifically, transglycosylases catalyze the intra- or intermolecular substitution of the anomeric position of glycosides. ...

Xyloglucan transglycosylases (XETs) have been implicated in many aspects of cell wall biosynthesis, but their function in vascular tissues, in general, and in the formation of secondary walls, in particular, is less well understood. Using an in situ XET activity assay in poplar stems, we have demonstrated XET activity in xylem and phloem fibers at the stage of secondary wall formation. Immunolocalization of fucosylated xylogucan with CCRC-M1 antibodies showed that levels of this species increased at the border between the primary and secondary wall layers at the time of secondary wall deposition. Furthermore, one of the most abundant XET isoforms in secondary vascular tissues (PttXET16A) was cloned and immunolocalized to fibers at the stage of secondary wall formation. Together, these data strongly suggest that XET has a previously unreported role in restructuring primary walls at the time when secondary wall layers are deposited, probably creating and reinforcing the connections between the ...
The GAUT genes are predicted to encode proteins with molecular masses between 61 and 78 KDa. Most of the GAUT proteins are likely to be type II membrane proteins with a transmembrane domain in their hypervariable N-terminal region. GAUT3,4, and 5 contain a N-terminal signal peptide rather than a transmembrane domain. By contrast, GAUT2 contains no N-terminal transmembrane domain and no signal peptide. The GATL genes encode proteins with molecular masses between 39 and 44 KDa and are predicted to contain only a signal peptide at their N termini suggesting they are processed into the secretory pathway. The 25 proteins in the GAUT1-related superfamily are members of the CAZy glycosyltransferase family 8. The Arabidopsis GAUT-1-related gene family consists of four clades (GAUT-A, GAUT-B, GAUT-C, and GATL, see above figure) that are clearly distinct from the other Arabidopsis glycosyltransferase family 8 proteins. Thus, we believe that the Arabidopsis family-8 proteins should be subdivided to reflect ...

The biosynthesis of disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides involves the action of hundreds of different glycosyltransferases. These enzymes catalyse the transfer of sugar moieties from activated donor molecules to specific acceptor molecules, forming glycosidic bonds. A classification of glycosyltransferases using nucleotide diphospho-sugar, nucleotide monophospho-sugar and sugar phosphates (EC 2.4.1.-) and related proteins into distinct sequence based families has been described [(PUBMED:9334165)]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) web site. The same three-dimensional fold is expected to occur within each of the families. Because 3-D structures are better conserved than sequences, several of the families defined on the basis of sequence similarities may have similar 3-D structures and therefore form clans.. Glycosyltransferase family 28 comprises enzymes with a number of known activities; 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-beta-galactosyltransferase (EC ...
In this study, we found both in vitro and in vivo that a skewed Th2 environment increased Lfng expression in CD4 T cells. Importantly, Lfng expression exacerbated lung pathology and Th2 immune response during RSV-mediated exacerbation of allergic airway disease by enhancing Dll4-induced Notch activation. These findings are in accordance with previous work demonstrating that Lfng-mediated glycosylation of Notch1 enhances its capacity to be activated by Delta-like Notch ligands (3). Interestingly, a STAT5-dependent mechanism regulated Lfng expression during Th2 differentiation, and, in a positive feedback manner, Lfng further augmented Dll4-induced Notch activation and production of Th2 cytokines.. Mechanisms that regulate the immune response and associated pathology during RSV exacerbation of pulmonary airway disease are largely unknown. RSV exacerbation exploits the allergen-driven Th2 cytokine environment to further enhance Th2 cell development and worsen the inflammatory response. In this ...

FUT9 belongs to the glycosyltransferase family and catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of Ley glycolipids in the carbohydrate antigen Lex (Nishihara et al, 2003; Gouveia et al, 2012). This reaction takes place in the Golgi compartment, and the product is transported to the cytosol and secreted out from the cell (Duarte et al, 2007). The Ley glycolipid was previously reported to inhibit the procoagulant activity and metastasis of human adenocarcinoma (Nudelman et al, 1986; Suzuki et al, 1997; Inufusa et al, 2001). The loss of FUT9 in the metabolic model prevents Ley glycolipid formation and secretion. To chart the network‐wide metabolic alterations induced by FUT9 inactivation, we performed a Minimization Of Metabolic Adjustment (MOMA) (Segrè et al, 2002) analysis to predict the metabolic state after FUT9 KD in late‐stage colorectal cancers, simulated by the Gene Inactivity Moderated by Metabolism and Expression (GIMME) algorithm (Becker & Palsson, 2008) (Materials and Methods).

CDw75, 100 Tests. CD75 is a 43-85 kD type II transmembrane sialoprotein, known as lacosamines, or CDw75. It is a member of glycosyltransferase family.
Nucleotide sugars are the activated forms of monosaccharides. Nucleotide sugars act as glycosyl donors in glycosylation reactions. Those reactions are catalyzed by a group of enzymes called glycosyltransferases. The anabolism of oligosaccharides - and, hence, the role of nucleotide sugars - was not clear until the 1950s when Leloir and his coworkers found that the key enzymes in this process are the glycosyltransferases. These enzymes transfer a glycosyl group from a sugar nucleotide to an acceptor. To act as glycosyl donors, those monosaccharides should exist in a highly energetic form. This occurs as a result of a reaction between nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) and glycosyl monophosphate (phosphate at anomeric carbon). The recent discovery of the reversibility of many glycosyltransferase-catalyzed reactions calls into question the designation of sugar nucleotides as activated donors. There are nine sugar nucleotides in humans which act as glycosyl donors and they can be classified depending ...

The synthesis of the plant cell wall is very complex, and understanding how this process occurs will lead to many benefits for future research and industries dependent upon cell walls for their products. The recent discovery of the functions of AtMUR3 and AtGT18 in Arabidopsis thaliana as xyloglucan galactosyltransferases has led to the identification of many more putative glycosyltransferases in the Arabidopsis genome. Due to the structural differences between the xyloglucans of Arabidopsis and solanaceous plants, we decided to search for putative arabinosyltransferases in the Solanaceae. Solanaceous xyloglucan is substituted by one to two arabinosyl residues at the second xylose position, and sometimes contains an arabinose at the first xylose position. In contrast, Arabidopsis xyloglucan does not contain arabinose, and is substituted by galactose at the second and third xylose position. Furthermore, the second galactose residue in Arabidopsis xyloglucan is usually fucosylated, a modification not

In the real world, of course, chemical compounds rarely exhibit this ideal combination of characteristics. Few are fully absorbed from the gut. The percentage that does cross is distributed at various sites in the body including, but not exclusively, the intended site of action. A large proportion passes through the liver where it may be metabolized by enzymes, such as the P450 oxygenases, sugar transferases, and drug transport system. Drugs may induce the activity of these molecular bouncers whose main biological role is to show the door to non-nutritious compounds, which the rather more welcoming guardians of the gut, lung, and other epithelia have foolishly allowed entry. The door in this case, of course, is usually the kidney. Elimination, the ultimate fate of all foreign compounds, including drugs, is relatively easy to measure, but much harder to explain or predict for any particular compound. It is, of course, highly dependent on the complex series of molecular, cellular, and ...

The cDNA encoding a xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, PttXET16A, from hybrid aspen (Populus tremula×tremuloides) has been isolated from an expressed sequence tag library and expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. Sequence analysis indicated a high degree of similarity with other proteins in the XTH (xyloglucan transglycosylase/hydrolase) gene subfamily of GH16 (glycoside hydrolase family 16). In addition to the conserved GH16 catalytic sequence motif, PttXET16A contains a conserved N-glycosylation site situated proximal to the predicted catalytic residues. MS analysis indicated that the recombinant PttXET16A expressed in P. pastoris is heterogeneous due to the presence of variable N-glycosylation and incomplete cleavage of the α-factor secretion signal peptide. Removal of the N-glycan by endoglycosidase H treatment did not influence the catalytic activity significantly. Similarly, site-directed mutagenesis of Asn93 to serine to remove the N-glycosylation site resulted in an ...

When entering the differentiation zone, the elongating root cells that are programmed to become trichoblasts drastically add a new growth pattern to allow the highly localized emergence of root hairs. The initiation of a root hair is characterized on the level of gene expression patterns (for review, see Schiefelbein, 2000). On the level of cell physiology, specific enzymes or proteins need to restructure a defined spot of the apical outer periclinal cell wall to allow local wall loosening and bulging. At the time of root hair initiation, inside the cytoplasm actin and microtubules rearrange (Emons and Derksen, 1986; Baluška et al., 2000a, 2000b). A highly localized acidification (pH 4.5) of the cell wall is associated with the initiation process (Bibikova et al., 1998). Once the initiation is completed, the wall pH returns to the pH (approximately 6) found in the rest of the trichoblast. Besides pH changes, other factors are likely to be important to predict the future site of root hair ...
Trehalose is an unusual non-reducing disaccharide that plays a variety of biological roles, from food storage to cellular protection from environmental stresses such as desiccation, pressure, heat-shock, extreme cold, and oxygen radicals. It is also an integral component of the cell-wall glycolipids of mycobacteria. The primary enzymatic route to trehalose first involves the transfer of glucose from a UDP-glucose donor to glucose-6-phosphate to form alpha,alpha-1,1 trehalose-6-phosphate. This reaction, in which the configurations of two glycosidic bonds are set simultaneously, is catalyzed by the glycosyltransferase trehalose-6-phosphate synthase ( OtsA), which acts with retention of the anomeric configuration of the UDP-sugar donor. The classification of activated sugar-dependent glycosyltransferases into approximately 70 distinct families based upon amino acid sequence similarities places OtsA in glycosyltransferase family 20 (see afmb.cnrs-mrs.fr/CAZY/). The recent 2.4 Angstrom structure of ...
Lipopolysaccharyl-alpha-1,4-galactosyltransferase C (LgtC), a glycosyltransferase family 8 alpha-1,4-galactosyltransferase from Neisseria meningitidis, catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP galactose to terminal lactose-containing acceptor sugars with net retention of anomeric configuration. To investigate the potential role of discrete nucleophilic catalysis suggested by the double displacement mechanism generally proposed for retaining glycosyltransferases, the side chain amide of Gln-189, which is suitably positioned to act as the catalytic nucleophile of LgtC, was substituted with the more nucleophilic carboxylate-containing side chain of glutamate in the hope of accumulating a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate. The resulting mutant was subjected to kinetic, mass spectrometric, and x-ray crystallographic analysis. Although the K-m for UDP-galactose is not significantly altered, the k(cat) was reduced to 3% that of the wild type enzyme. Electrospray mass spectrometric analysis revealed that ...
The molecular basis of primary wall extension endures as one of the central enigmas in plant cell morphogenesis. Classical cell wall models suggest that xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase activity is the primary catalyst (together with expansins) of controlled cell wall loosening through the transient cleavage and religation of xyloglucan-cellulose cross links. The genome of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains 33 phylogenetically diverse XYLOGLUCAN ENDO-TRANSGLYCOSYLASE/HYDROLASE (XTH) gene products, two of which were predicted to be predominant xyloglucan endohydrolases due to clustering into group III-A. Enzyme kinetic analysis of recombinant AtXTH31 confirmed this prediction and indicated that this enzyme had similar catalytic properties to the nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) xyloglucanase1 responsible for storage xyloglucan hydrolysis during germination. Global analysis of Genevestigator data indicated that AtXTH31 and the paralogous AtXTH32 were abundantly expressed in expanding ...
Abnormal O-glycans expressed by cancer cells have functional importance in cell adhesion, invasion, and metastasis [15]. Alterations in mucin-type O-glycans has been associated with malignant transformation, resulting in the formation of less complex structures and leading to an increase of the simple short determinants. Protein O-glycosylation is deregulated in breast cancer cells, leading to the accumulation of simple mucin-type tumor-associated antigens [37]. The expression of GalNAc-T14 mRNA was analyzed in normal and malignant tissue from breast, skin, lung, pancreas, ovary, endometrium, bladder and lymphoid cancers. A subset of tumor samples, ranging from 10% in lobular breast cancer to 30% in lung cancer and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, showed GalNAc-T14 mRNA overexpression [36]. Under thees circumstances, we hypothesize the expression of GalNAc-T14 may be a useful biomarker for breast cancer by immunohistochemistry.. It has been shown that several glycosyltransferases are useful tumor ...
Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of nosocomial infections. Multiple antibiotic resistance and severe clinical outcomes provide a strong rationale for development of immunoglobulin-based strategies. Traditionally, novel immunological approaches against bacterial pathogens involve antibodies directed against cell surface-exposed virulence-associated epitopes or toxins. In this study, we generated a monoclonal antibody targeting the housekeeping protein IsaA, a suggested soluble lytic transglycosylase of S. aureus, and tested its therapeutic efficacy in two experimental mouse infection models. A murine anti-IsaA antibody of the IgG1 subclass (UK-66P) showed the highest binding affinity in Biacore analysis. This antibody recognized all S. aureus strains tested, including hospital-acquired and community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains. Therapeutic efficacy in vivo in mice was analyzed using a central venous catheter-related infection model and a sepsis survival model. ...

Plant genomes encode numerous small molecule glycosyltransferases which modulate the solubility, activity, immunogenicity and/or reactivity of hormones, xenobiotics and natural products. The products of these enzymes can accumulate to very high concentrations, yet somehow avoid inhibiting their own biosynthesis. Glucosyltransferase UGT74B1 (UDP-glycosyltransferase 74B1) catalyses the penultimate step in the core biosynthetic pathway of glucosinolates, a group of natural products with important functions in plant defence against pests and pathogens. We found that mutation of the highly conserved Ser284 to leucine [wei9-1 (weak ethylene insensitive)] caused only very mild morphological and metabolic phenotypes, in dramatic contrast with knockout mutants, indicating that steady state glucosinolate levels are actively regulated even in unchallenged plants. Analysis of the effects of the mutation via a structural modelling approach indicated that the affected serine interacts directly with ...

Glycosyltransferases (GTFs, Gtfs) are enzymes (EC 2.4) that establish natural glycosidic linkages. They catalyze the transfer of saccharide moieties from an activated nucleotide sugar (also known as the glycosyl donor) to a nucleophilic glycosyl acceptor molecule, the nucleophile of which can be oxygen- carbon-, nitrogen-, or sulfur-based. The result of glycosyl transfer can be a carbohydrate, glycoside, oligosaccharide, or a polysaccharide. Some glycosyltransferases catalyse transfer to inorganic phosphate or water. Glycosyl transfer can also occur to protein residues, usually to tyrosine, serine, or threonine to give O-linked glycoproteins, or to asparagine to give N-linked glycoproteins. Mannosyl groups may be transferred to tryptophan to generate C-mannosyl tryptophan, which is relatively abundant in eukaryotes. Transferases may also use lipids as an acceptor, forming glycolipids, and even use lipid-linked sugar phosphate donors, such as dolichol phosphates. Glycosyltransferases that use ...

The Notch receptor is a large, cell surface transmembrane protein involved in a wide variety of developmental processes in higher organisms. It becomes activated when its extracellular region binds to ligands located on adjacent cells. Much of this extracellular region is composed of EGF-like repeats, many of which can be O-fucosylated. A number of these O-fucosylated repeats can in turn be further modified by the action of a beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase enzyme known as Fringe. Fringe potentiates the activation of Notch by Delta ligands, while inhibiting activation by Serrate/Jagged ligands. This regulation of Notch signalling by Fringe is important in many processes.Four distinct Fringe proteins have so far been studied in detail; Drosophila Fringe (Dfng) and its three mammalian homologues Lunatic Fringe (Lfng), Radical Fringe (Rfng) and Manic Fringe (Mfng). Dfng, Lfng and Rfng have all been shown to play important roles in developmental processes within their host, though the ...
