  • GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase is a genetic determinant of ammonium sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana. (rhea-db.org)
  • GDP-mannose is produced from GTP and mannose-6-phosphate by the enzyme mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase. (wikipedia.org)
  • The enzyme produced from the ALG1 gene transfers a simple sugar called mannose to growing oligosaccharides at a particular step in the formation of the sugar chain. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The poorly functioning enzyme cannot add mannose to sugar chains efficiently, and the resulting oligosaccharides are often incomplete. (medlineplus.gov)
  • This last task was still in progress by the time of the project completion due to the initial unavailability of the specific d-mannose donors required by the enzyme. (europa.eu)
  • Moreover, because of the requirements and spin-offs of this project, new significant research objectives were identified and targeted, such as the structural characterisation and utilisation of the dolichol-phospho- beta -d-mannose synthase, which was a key enzyme for human and pathogenic glycosylation, and the elucidation of the d-mannose function in teicoplanin antibiotic action.

  • Targeting AR with epalrestat decreases polyol levels and increases GDP-mannose in vivo in pmm2 mutant zebrafish. (sdsc.edu)
  • The decrease in biochemical activity of guanosine 5'-diphosphate-D-mannose dehydratase (GMD) may be measured. (medscape.com)
  • In particular, we were interested in a new type of bacterial glycosyltransferase that allegedly attached the sugar d-mannose to teicoplanin. (europa.eu)
  • The DPMS was found to selectively employ guanosine diphosphate (GPD) mannose along with commercially available dolichylphospholipids to produce beta-d-mannosyldolichylphospholipids, currently being assessed as substrates for the teicoplanin mannosyltransferase. (europa.eu)
  • GDP-mannose is a nucleoside diphosphate sugar that is important in the production of fucosylated oligosaccharides. (ecmdb.ca)
  • A nucleoside diphosphate sugar which can be converted to the deoxy sugar GDPfucose, which provides fucose for lipopolysaccharides of bacterial cell walls. (nih.gov)
  • GDP-mannose is transformed to GDP-fucose via three enzymatic reactions carried out by two proteins, GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD) and a second enzyme, GDP-keto-6-deoxymannose 3,5-epimerase, 4-reductase. (ecmdb.ca)
  • The epimerase converts the GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-mannose to GDP-fucose. (ecmdb.ca)
  • The GDP-Fuc de novo pathway, which requires the action of GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD) and GDP-L-fucose synthase (FS), is conserved in the parasite genome, but the importance of fucose metabolism for the parasite is unknown. (johnshopkins.edu)
