Fucosyltransferase substrate specificity and the order of fucosylation in invertebrates.
Core alpha1,6-fucosylation is a conserved feature of animal N-linked oligosaccharides being present in both invertebrates and vertebrates. To prove that the enzymatic basis for this modification is also evolutionarily conserved, cDNAs encoding the catalytic regions of the predicted Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster homologs of vertebrate alpha1,6-fucosyltransferases (E.C. 2.4.1...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of human GDP-L-fucose synthase.
Human GDP-l-fucose synthase, also known as FX protein, synthesizes GDP-l-fucose from its substrate GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-mannose. The reaction involves epimerization at both C-3 and C-5 followed by an NADPH-dependent reduction of the carbonyl at C-4. In this paper, the first crystal structure of human FX protein was determined at 2.37 Å resolution. The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure co...
متن کاملDifferentiative changes in fucosyltransferase activity in newborn rat epidermal cells.
An enzymatic activity catalyzing the transfer of L-fucose from GDP-L-fucose to a glycoprotein that is associated with the surfaces of the basal cells has been found in the membranous fraction of the cutaneous epidermis from the newborn rat. This fucosyltransferase which is located in the differentiated cells alters the acceptor glycoprotein's lectin-binding specificity from the Isolectin I-B4 o...
متن کاملGDP-L-fucose transport in plants: The missing piece
The monosaccharide fucose is an important deoxyhexose occurring in plants, fungi and animals. Fucose is mainly found as a component of glycan structures such as Nand O-linked glycans, glycolipids and in cell wall polysaccharides such as fucoidan, xyloglucan, rhamnogalacturonan II. The biosynthesis of these glycan structures is mediated by glycosyltransferases and typically occurs within the end...
متن کاملRole of insulin and nutritional factors in intestinal glycoprotein fucosylation during postnatal development.
This study deals with the role of insulin in the regulation of the intestinal glycoprotein fucosylation process during postnatal development in the rat. Circulating insulin level was found to increase at weaning time in parallel with α-1,2-fucosyltransferase activity and with the appearance of α-1,2-fucoproteins in brush-border membranes. Insulin treatment of young suckling rats induced a preco...
