Emerging patterns of tyrosine sulfation and O-glycosylation cross-talk and co-localization

Tyrosine O Sulfation: An Overview

Tyrosine O sulfation is a post translational modification (PTM) originally discovered by Bettelheim in 1954 in the bovine protein fibrinogen. Currently, this PTM is found only in secreted and transmembrane proteins of higher eukaryotes. This article gives an overview of experimental tools to study tyrosine O sulfation and also describes the biological function of this PTM.

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...

The biology and enzymology of protein tyrosine O-sulfation.

Effect of O-glycosylation and tyrosine sulfation of leech-derived peptides on binding and inhibitory activity against thrombin.

Synthesis of sulfated and unsulfated (glyco)peptide fragments of Hirudin P6 (a potent anticoagulant from the leech Hirudinaria manillensis) is described. The effect of O-glycosylation and tyrosine sulfation on thrombin binding and peptidolytic activity was investigated, together with the inhibition of fibrinogen cleavage.

N-Linked Glycosylation Supports Cross-Talk between Receptor Tyrosine Kinases and Androgen Receptor

Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-associated deaths in men and signalling via a transcription factor called androgen receptor (AR) is an important driver of the disease. Androgen treatment is known to affect the expression and activity of other oncogenes including receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). In this study we report that AR-positive prostate cancer cell-lines expres...
