Enzymatic synthesis of l-fucose from l-fuculose using a fucose isomerase from Raoultella sp. and the biochemical and structural analyses of the enzyme

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background l-Fucose is a rare sugar with potential uses in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. The enzymatic approach using l-fucose isomerase, which interconverts l-fucose and l-fuculose, can be an efficient way of producing l-fucose for ...

Advances in the study of core fucosylation in mammals

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2021
Glycosylation is a major posttranslational modification, which involves in the regulation of important physiological functions. Among them, core fucosylation is an α1, 6-linked fucose to N-glycans, which catalyzes by only one glycosyltransferase.

Lewis fucose is a key moiety for the recognition of histo‐blood group antigens by GI.9 norovirus, as revealed by structural analysis

FEBS Open Bio, 2022
Noroviruses have been identified as major causative agents of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Histo‐blood group antigens (HBGAs) are thought to play a major role among the host cellular factors influencing norovirus infection.
