Perinatal Gut Dysbiosis Reduces Milk Oligosaccharides via LPS‐Mediated Gut–Mammary Signaling in Mice
Maternal gut dysbiosis elevates Gram‐negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which enters circulation and accumulates in mammary tissue. This compromises the blood–milk barrier and suppresses key enzymatic genes, ultimately reducing milk oligosaccharide synthesis and potentially affecting neonatal gut microbiota through breastfeeding.

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 ...

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

Abstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS), triggered primarily by wet or humid conditions at maturity and further influenced by temperature, causes premature grain germination in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), reducing yield and grain quality. To elucidate the genetic architecture of seed dormancy and germination responses related to PHS tolerance ...

Fucosyltransferase 4 shapes oncogenic glycoproteome to drive metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma
Background: Aberrant fucosylation plays a critical role in lung cancer progression. Nevertheless, the key fucosyltransferase with prognostic significance in lung cancer patients, the enzyme's intracellular targets, and complex molecular mechanisms ...

Norovirus Infection and Disease in an Ecuadorian Birth Cohort: Association of Certain Norovirus Genotypes With Host FUT2 Secretor Status. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although norovirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis, there are few data on the community incidence of infection/disease or the patterns of acquired immunity or innate resistance to norovirus.

SUMMARY Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the primary enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of the complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls. Given the important role of GTs in plants, it is necessary to undertake their functional characterization to better understand plant cell wall synthesis pathways to develop improved feedstocks for efficient ...

Carcinoma-associated fucosylated antigens are markers of the epithelial state and can contribute to cell adhesion through CLEC17A (Prolectin) [PDF]
International audienceTerminal fucosylated motifs of glycoproteins and glycolipid chains are often altered in cancer cells. We investigated the link between fucosylation changes and critical steps in cancer progression: epithelial-to-mesenchymal ...

Core Fucosylation Represses SMURF1‐Dependent Degradation of CD47 to Promote Tumor Immune Evasion
FUT8‐mediated core fucosylation of CD47 at N111 blocks SMURF1 binding and reduces CD47 ubiquitination and degradation. Blocking N111 glycosylation reduces CD47 expression and promotes macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells. Furthermore, ablating CD47 core fucosylation boosts CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs) infiltration, increases natural killer (NK) cell ...

Biochemical characterization of Helicobacter pylori α-1,4 fucosyltransferase: metal ion requirement, donor substrate specificity and organic solvent stability [PDF]
The effect of metal ions on the activity, the donor substrate specificity, and the stability in organic solvents of Helicobacter pylori α-1,4 fucosyltransferase were studied. The recombinant enzyme was expressed as soluble form in E.
