Advances in the study of core fucosylation in mammals
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.

Semisynthetic Isomers of Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfate Polysaccharides with Fucosyl Branches at a Non-Natural Site [PDF]
The several interesting activities detected for fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (fCS) have fueled in the last years several efforts toward the obtainment of fCS oligosaccharides and low molecular weight (LMW) polysaccharides with a well-defined structure, in order to avoid the problems associated with the potential employment of native, sea cucumber ...

Core fucosylation and its roles in gastrointestinal glycoimmunology
Glycosylation is a common post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells. It is involved in the production of many biologically active glycoproteins and the regulation of protein structure and function.

Fucosylated glycoproteins and fucosylated glycolipids play opposing roles in cholera intoxication
SUMMARY Cholera toxin (CT) is the etiological agent of cholera. Here we report that multiple classes of fucosylated glycoconjugates function in CT binding and intoxication of intestinal epithelial cells. In Colo205 cells, knockout of B3GNT5, the enzyme required for synthesis of lacto- and neolacto-series glycosphingolipids (GSLs ...

Fucosylation and gastrointestinal cancer
Fucose (6-deoxy-L-galactose) is a monosaccharide that is found on glycoproteins and glycolipids in verte-brates, invertebrates, plants, and bacteria. Fucosylation, which comprises the transfer of a fucose residue to oligosaccharides and proteins, is regulated by many kinds of molecules, including fucosyltransferases, GDP-fucose synthetic enzymes, and ...

Epithelial cells can undergo apoptosis by manipulating the balance between pro-survival and apoptotic signals. In this work, we show that TRAIL-induced apoptosis can be differentially regulated by the expression of α(1,6)fucosyltransferase (FucT-8), the ...

Summary Interactions between the enteric nervous system (ENS) and intestinal epithelium are thought to play a vital role in intestinal homeostasis. How the ENS monitors the frontier with commensal and pathogenic microbes while maintaining epithelium ...

Antibody fucosylation predicts disease severity in secondary dengue infection
IgG fucosylation predicts dengue severity Secondary infections with dengue virus (DENV) can produce life-threatening symptoms, including thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic disease, when preexisting DENV-reactive immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibodies promote ...
