The Clinical Utility of Biochemical Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent cancer worldwide and is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Since many colon cancers present no significant clinical symptoms, identifying new biomarkers or a set of biological indicators

Structural insights into mechanism and specificity of the plant protein O-fucosyltransferase SPINDLY
Arabidopsis SPINDLY (SPY) is a nucleocytoplasmic protein O-fucosyltransferase. Here, the authors present a crystal structure of Arabidopsis SPY/GDP complex, reveal SPY’s substrate recognition and enzyme mechanism, and provide insights into the glycan ...

Fucosyltransferase activities in human lymphocytes and granulocytes Blood group H-gene-specified α-2-L-fucosyltransferase is a discriminatory marker of peripheral blood lymphocytes [PDF]
Human lymphocytes and granulocytes were examined for blood group H-gene-specified α-2-L-fucosyl-transferase, α-3-L-fucosyltransferase and blood group Le-gene-specified α-4-L-fucosyltransferase.

Determination of α1–6-fucosyltransferase activity. [PDF]
Recombinant FLAG-tagged Sf9 FUT8 was produced using the baculovirus-Sf9 cell system and purified using anti-FLAG M2 affinity gel. The fucosyltransferase activity of the recombinant protein was tested with GDP-[14C]-L-fucose, as substrate, after two days (

FUT8 Alpha-(1,6)-Fucosyltransferase in Cancer [PDF]
Aberrant glycosylation is a universal feature of cancer cells that can impact all steps in tumour progression from malignant transformation to metastasis and immune evasion. One key change in tumour glycosylation is altered core fucosylation.

Survey and characterization of nonfunctional alleles of FUT2 in a database
The expression of ABO antigens in human saliva is regulated by the FUT2 gene, which encodes a secretor type α(1,2)fucosyltransferase. Secretors express ABO substrates in saliva and non-secretors do not. Secretor status is an object of concern, especially

Human platelets release α-6-L-fucosyltransferase upon activation [PDF]
Previously we have shown that human platelets release α-6-L-fucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.68) during coagulation of blood [(1987) Glycoconjugate J. 4, 43–49]. Here we report that agonists which induce platelet aggregation bring about release of the enzyme.

Fucosylation with fucosyltransferase VI or fucosyltransferase VII improves cord blood engraftment [PDF]
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.
