Characterizing human α-1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) substrate specificity and structural similarities with related fucosyltransferases [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020 Mammalian Asn-linked glycans are extensively processed as they transit the secretory pathway to generate diverse glycans on cell surface and secreted glycoproteins.

AtFUT4 and AtFUT6 Are Arabinofuranose-Specific Fucosyltransferases [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The bulk of plant biomass is comprised of plant cell walls, which are complex polymeric networks, composed of diverse polysaccharides, proteins, polyphenolics, and hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs). Glycosyltransferases (GTs) work together to synthesize the saccharide components of the plant cell wall.

FUT8 (fucosyltransferase 8 (alpha (1,6) fucosyltransferase)) [PDF]
Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, 2011 Review on FUT8 (fucosyltransferase 8 (alpha (1,6) fucosyltransferase)), with data on DNA, on the protein encoded, and where the gene is implicated.

Fucosylation with fucosyltransferase VI or fucosyltransferase VII improves cord blood engraftment [PDF]
Cytotherapy, 2014 Background aims: Advantages associated with the use of cord blood (CB) transplantation include the availability of cryopreserved units, ethnic diversity and lower incidence of graft-versus-host disease compared with bone marrow or mobilized peripheral blood. However, poor engraftment remains a major obstacle.

Subcellular localisation of cerebral fucosyltransferase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1984 GDP‐fucose : asialofetuin fucosyltransferase from sheep brain was fractionated on a sucrose gradient into two activity peaks. Using purification on Ficoll adapted from the proposed method [(1980) J. Neurochem. 35, 281‐296], double localisation of cerebral fucosyltransferase was confirmed and the subcellular active fractions identified as light ...

A new superfamily of protein-O-fucosyltransferases, 2-fucosyltransferases, and 6-fucosyltransferases: phylogeny and identification of conserved peptide motifs [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2003 The presence of three conserved peptide motifs shared by alpha2-fucosyltransferases, alpha6-fucosyltransferases, the protein-O-fucosyltransferase family 1 (POFUT1) and a newly identified protein-O-fucosyltransferase family 2 (POFUT2), together with evidence that the present genes encoding for these enzymes have originated from a common ancestor by ...

Fucosyltransferases in Schistosoma mansoni development [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2001 Glycoconjugate-bound fucose, abundant in the parasite Schistosoma mansoni, has been found in the form of Fucalpha1,3GlcNAc, Fucalpha1,2Fuc, Fucalpha1,6GlcNAc, and perhaps Fucalpha1,4GlcNAc linkages. Here we quantify fucosyltransferase activities in three developmental stages of S. mansoni.

Evolution of Fucosyltransferase Genes in Vertebrates [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997 Cloning and expression of chimpanzee FUT3, FUT5, and FUT6 genes confirmed the hypothesis that the gene duplications at the origin of the present human cluster of genes occurred between: (i) the great mammalian radiation 80 million years ago and (ii) the separation of man and chimpanzee 10 million years ago. The phylogeny of fucosyltransferase genes was

mBio, 2020 Several studies have demonstrated that secretor status is associated with susceptibility to human norovirus (HuNoV) infection; however, previous reports found that FUT2 expression is not sufficient to allow infection with HuNoV in a variety of continuous

Fucosyltransferases: structure/function studies [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2001 Alpha3-fucosyltransferases (alpha3-FucTs) catalyze the final step in the synthesis of a range of important glycoconjugates that function in cell adhesion and lymphocyte recirculation. Six members of this family of enzymes have been cloned from the human genome, and their expression pattern has been shown to be highly regulated. Each enzyme has a unique
