Evidence for Cell-surface Glycosyltransferases
Intact chicken embryo neural retina cells have been shown to catalyze the transfer of galactose-(14)C from uridine diphosphate galactose (UDP-galactose) to endogenous acceptors of high molecular weight as well as to exogenous acceptors. Four lines of evidence indicate that the galactosyltransferases catalyzing these reactions are at least partly located on the outside surface of the plasma memb...
متن کاملEffector Glycosyltransferases in Legionella
Legionella causes severe pneumonia in humans. The pathogen produces an array of effectors, which interfere with host cell functions. Among them are the glucosyltransferases Lgt1, Lgt2 and Lgt3 from L. pneumophila. Lgt1 and Lgt2 are produced predominately in the post-exponential phase of bacterial growth, while synthesis of Lgt3 is induced mainly in the lag-phase before intracellular replication...
متن کاملGlycosyltransferases encoded by viruses.
Studies of cellular biology in recent decades have highlighted the crucial roles of glycans in numerous important biological processes, raising the concept of glycomics that is now considered as important as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. For millions of years, viruses have been co-evolving with their hosts. Consequently, during this co-evolution process, viruses have acquired mechan...
متن کاملGlycosyltransferases as Markers for Early Tumorigenesis
BACKGROUND Glycosylation is the most frequent posttranslational modification of proteins and lipids influencing inter- and intracellular communication and cell adhesion. Altered glycosylation patterns are characteristically observed in tumour cells. Normal and altered carbohydrate chains are transferred to their acceptor structures via glycosyltransferases. Here, we present the correlation betw...
متن کاملHuman Blood Group Glycosyltransferases
An N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, which converts blood group 0 red blood cells to A cells, was purified to homogeneity from plasma of blood group A, subjects. The enzyme was adsorbed on Sepharose QB, and after washing out the impurities, the enzyme was eluted with UDP. This procedure resulted in a 70,000to lOO,OOO-fold increase in specific activity with recovery of about 80%. Further purifi...
