Multi-Path Optimization for Efficient Production of 2′-Fucosyllactose in an Engineered Escherichia coli C41 (DE3) Derivative

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL), one of the simplest but most abundant oligosaccharides in human milk, has been demonstrated to have many positive benefits for the healthy development of newborns.

Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal alloantibodies, often targeting the D antigen on fetal red blood cells. Maternal immunization is preventable with timely administration of anti‐D polyclonal antibodies (pAbs).

Production of therapeutic antibodies with controlled fucosylation [PDF]

mAbs, 2009
The clinical success of therapeutic antibodies is demonstrated by the number of antibody therapeutics that have been brought to market and the increasing number of therapeutic antibodies in development. Recombinant antibodies are molecular-targeted therapeutic agents and represent a major new class of drugs.

FUCA2 Sustains AKT Signaling and Suppresses Senescence by Antagonizing FUT3‐Mediated ErbB3 Fucosylation in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
ABSTRACT While targeted therapies have improved outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), many patients still lack targetable mutations. Here, we identified alpha‐L‐fucosidase 2 (FUCA2) as a crucial driver of LUAD by preventing cellular senescence. Mechanistically, through the restriction of fucosyltransferase 3 (FUT3)‐mediated α‐1,3‐fucosylation of ...

O-Fucosylation Is Required for ADAMTS13 Secretion [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
ADAMTS13 is a plasma metalloproteinase that cleaves von Willebrand factor to smaller, less thrombogenic forms. Deficiency of ADAMTS13 activity in plasma leads to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. ADAMTS13 contains eight thrombospondin type 1 repeats (TSR), seven of which contain a consensus sequence for the direct addition of fucose to the hydroxyl ...

Lung Pericytes: Molecular Mechanisms, Signaling Pathways, and Roles in Pulmonary Diseases

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.
Central role of pericytes across major pulmonary diseases. Conceptual wheel diagram illustrating the central role of lung pericytes across diverse pulmonary disease states. A pericyte positioned at the center expresses canonical markers, including PDGFRβ, CD146, and NG2, and connects radially to five major disease contexts.

Novel function of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A: promotes endometrium receptivity by up-regulating N-fucosylation

Scientific Reports, 2017
Glycosylation of uterine endometrial cells plays important roles to determine their receptive function to blastocysts. Trophoblast-derived pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA) is specifically elevated in pregnant women serum, and is known to ...

Counteracting Influenza Virus Evolution Through the Full Spectrum of Broadly Protective Antibodies

Immunological Reviews, Volume 341, Issue 1, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite the presence of licensed vaccines and therapeutics, influenza viruses remain a major public health concern, as they cause seasonal respiratory infections and pose a pandemic threat through the emergence of zoonotic strains. Although neutralizing antibodies elicited by seasonal vaccination constitute a primary defense against infection,

Beyond Sequence: Posttranslational Remodeling of Antigens in Autoimmunity

Immunological Reviews, Volume 341, Issue 1, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune responses are often attributed to failed tolerance to self‐proteins, yet protein expression alone cannot explain why certain antigens dominate disease, why autoreactivity emerges under stress, or why specific HLA alleles shape risk.

Core Fucosylation of the T Cell Receptor Is Required for T Cell Activation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
CD4+ T cell activation promotes the pathogenic process of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). T cell receptor (TCR) complex are highly core fucosylated glycoproteins, which play important roles in T cell activation.
