S-Gene-associated glycoproteins (S-glycoproteins) from styles of Nicotiana alata, identified by non-equilibrium twodimensional electrophoresis, were purified by cation exchange fast protein liquid chromatography with yields of 0.5 to 8 micrograms of protein per style, depending on the S-genotype of the plant. The method relies on the highly basic nature of the S-glycoproteins. The elution profi...

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome encodes two envelope glycoproteins (E1 and E2) which interact noncovalently to form a heterodimer (E1-E2). During the folding and assembly of HCV glycoproteins, a large portion of these proteins are trapped in aggregates, reducing the efficiency of native E1-E2 complex assembly. To better understand this phenomenon and to try to increase the efficiency of HCV ...

Rat liver microsomal glycoproteins were purified by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A Sepharose columns from membrane and content fractions, separated from rough microsomes (RM) treated with low concentrations of deoxycholate (DOC). All periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive glycoproteins of RM showed affinity for concanavalin A Sepharose; even after sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) acrylamide...

As the altered glycosylation expressions of cell surface proteins are associated with many diseases, glycoproteomics approach has been widely applied to characterization of surface glycosylation alteration. In general, the abundances of proteolytic glycopeptides derived from corresponding glycoproteins can be measured to determine the abundances of glycoproteins. However, this quantification st...

Purified hemagglutinin and fusion glycoproteins of measles virus either in soluble form or inserted in artifical membranes bind to human peripheral blood lymphocytes and induce cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) in a dose-response fashion. Both autologous and heterologous noninfected target cells are lysed in vitro. The expression of CMC is not inhibited by anti-measles virus antibody added to ly...

Glycosylation occurs at all major types of biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, and RNAs to form glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycoRNAs in mammalian cells, respectively. The carbohydrate moiety, known as glycans on glycoproteins is diverse their compositions structures. Normal cells have unique array or glycome which play pivotal roles many biological processes. glycan structures cancer how...

We previously showed that the expression of (Gal alpha 1-4Gal)-bearing glycoproteins among birds is related to their phylogeny. However, precise structures of (Gal alpha 1-4Gal)-containing N-glycans were only known for pigeon egg white glycoproteins and IgG. To compare structural features of (Gal alpha 1-4Gal)-containing N-glycans from other species, we analyzed N-glycans of gull egg white (GEW...

Fusion of Sendai virus envelopes with erythrocyte membranes or with phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes requires the presence of the two viral glycoproteins, namely the hemagglutinin/neuraminidase (HN) and the fusion (F) polypeptides. Membrane vesicles bearing only the HN or the F glycoprotein (HN or F vesicles) or a mixture of both do not possess fusogenic activity. These results clearly...
