Multi‐level metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for high‐titer biosynthesis of 2′‐fucosyllactose and 3‐fucosyllactose

Microbial Biotechnology, 2022
Fucosyllactoses (FL), including 2′‐fucosyllactose (2′‐FL) and 3‐fucosyllactose (3‐FL), have garnered considerable interest for their value in newborn formula and pharmaceuticals.

α-1,6-Fucosyltransferase Is Essential for Myogenesis in Zebrafish

Cells, 2022
Glycosylation is an important mechanism regulating various biological processes, including intercellular signaling and adhesion. α-1,6-fucosyltransferase (Fut8) belongs to a family of enzymes that determine the terminal structure of glycans.

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.

Substrate Specificity of Fucosyltransferase Purified from Human Parotid Saliva

, 1987
The purified fucosyltransferase from human parotid saliva was shown to transfer fucose from GDP-fucose onto the oligosaccharide chains containing the Galβl→3GlcNAc or Gal β 1→4GlcNAc/Glc sequences.

Novel antibodies detect nucleocytoplasmic O-fucose in protist pathogens, cellular slime molds, and plants

mSphere
Cellular adaptations to change often involve post-translational modifications of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. An example found in protists and plants is the modification of serine and threonine residues of dozens to hundreds of nucleocytoplasmic ...

Structural basis for substrate specificity and catalysis of α1,6-fucosyltransferase

Nature Communications, 2020
Core-fucosylation of the N-glycan core is an essential biological modification and the α1,6- fucosyltransferase FUT8 is the only enzyme in humans that catalyses this modification through the addition of an α-1,6-linked fucose to N-glycans.

Helicobacter hepaticus Hh0072 gene encodes a novel α1-3-fucosyltransferase belonging to CAZy GT11 family

, 2010
Lewis x (Lex) and sialyl Lewis x (SLex)-containing glycans play important roles in numerous physiological and pathological processes. The key enzyme for the final step formation of these Lewis antigens is α1-3-fucosyltransferase. Here we report molecular

FUT6 deficiency compromises basophil function by selectively abrogating their sialyl-Lewis x expression

Communications Biology, 2021
Puan and San Luis et al. find that FUT6, encoding a fucosyltransferase, is required for the “rolling” behavior of certain white blood cells that enables them to move from blood vessels to tissues.

Protein O-fucosylation in Plasmodium falciparum ensures efficient infection of mosquito and vertebrate hosts

Nature Communications, 2017
The role of O-glycosylation in the malaria life cycle is largely unknown. Here, the authors identify a Plasmodium protein O-fucosyltransferase and show that it is important for normal trafficking of a subset of surface proteins, particularly CSP and TRAP,
