FUT8 and Protein Core Fucosylation in Tumours: From Diagnosis to Treatment. [PDF]
Glycosylation changes are key molecular events in tumorigenesis, progression and glycosyltransferases play a vital role in the this process. FUT8 belongs to the fucosyltransferase family and is the key enzyme involved in N-glycan core fucosylation. FUT8 and/or core fucosylated proteins are frequently upregulated in liver, lung, colorectal, pancreas ...

Quantitative Assessment of Core Fucosylation for Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation. [PDF]
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) include a group of diseases characterized by defects of N-glycan fucosylation. The analytical molecule of choice for the diagnosis of CDG affecting N-glycosylation is serum transferrin: approximately 10% of the glycans attached to transferrin are fucosylated via an α1,6 linkage at the innermost N ...

Multi-targeted therapy resistance via drug-induced secretome fucosylation
Cancer secretome is a reservoir for aberrant glycosylation. How therapies alter this post- translational cancer hallmark and the consequences thereof remain elusive.

Linkage specific fucosylation of alpha-1-antitrypsin in liver cirrhosis and cancer patients: implications for a biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
We previously reported increased levels of protein-linked fucosylation with the development of liver cancer and identified many of the proteins containing the altered glycan structures. One such protein is alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT).

Background: The humoral immune response is pivotal to protect the host from Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) infection. Previously, we found that core fucosylation catalyzed by core fucosyltransferase (Fut8) could regulate the immune responses ...

Divergent Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Asymmetrical‐Core‐Fucosylated and Core‐Unmodified N‐Glycans [PDF]
AbstractA divergent chemoenzymaytic approach for the preparation of core‐fucosylated and core‐unmodified asymmetrical N‐glycans from a common advances precursor is described. An undecasaccharide was synthesized by sequential chemical glycosylations of an orthogonally protected core fucosylated hexasaccharide that is common to all mammalian core ...

Profiling of core fucosylated N-glycans using a novel bacterial lectin that specifically recognizes α1,6 fucosylated chitobiose [PDF]
AbstractA novel fucose-binding lectin (SL2-1) from the bacterium Streptomyces rapamycinicus was identified by analysis of metagenomic DNA sequences. SL2-1 belongs to a new group of bacterial fucose-specific lectins that have no similarity to known bacterial fucose-binding proteins, but are related to certain eukaryotic fucose-binding lectins.

Effects of microRNAs on fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) expression in hepatocarcinoma cells. [PDF]
Fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) catalyzes the transfer of α1,6-linked fucose to the first N-acetylglucosamine in N-linked glycans (core fucosylation). Increased core fucosylation has been reported during hepatocarcinogenesis, in both cell-associated and ...

Core fucosylation is required for midline patterning during zebrafish development [PDF]
AbstractComplex carbohydrates represent one of the most polymorphic classes of macromolecules, but their functions during embryonic development remain poorly defined. Herein, we show that knockdown of FucT8, the fucosyltransferase responsible for adding an α1,6 fucosyl residue to the core region of N‐linked oligosaccharides, results in defective ...
