Galactosyl-and fucosyltransferases in etiolated pea epicotyls: product identification and sub-cellular localisation

, 2015
Particulate membrane preparations from etiolated pea epicotyls were found to contain fucosyltransferases, which transferred fucose from GDP-fucose onto xyloglucan and N-linked glycoprotein, and galactosyltransferases, which transferred galactose from UDP-

Exploring the diverse biological significance and roles of fucosylated oligosaccharides

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Long since, carbohydrates were thought to be used just as an energy source and structural material. However, in recent years, with the emergence of the field of glycobiology and advances in glycomics, much has been learned about the biological role of ...

The Impact of Human Genetic Polymorphisms on Rotavirus Susceptibility, Epidemiology, and Vaccine Take

Viruses, 2020
Innate resistance to viral infections can be attributed to mutations in genes involved in the immune response, or to the receptor/ligand. A remarkable example of the latter is the recently described Mendelian trait resistance to clinically important and ...

FUCA2 and TSTA3 expression in gastric cancer: candidate biomarkers of malignant transformation

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2022
INTRODUCTION: Aberrant fucosylation is closely related to malignant transformation, cancer detection, and evaluation of treatment efficacy. The fucosylation process requires GDP-L-fucose, fucosyltransferases, and fucosidases.

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.

Anaplasma marginale Infection of Dermacentor andersoni Primary Midgut Cell Culture Is Dependent on Fucosylated Glycans

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Tick midgut is the primary infection site required by tick-borne pathogens to initiate their development for transmission. Despite the biological significance of this organ, cell cultures derived exclusively from tick midgut tissues are unavailable and ...

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

Production of human fucosyltransferases in Trichoderma reesei

, 2019
Glycosylation is the most complex posttranslational modification specific to eukaryotes and also some bacteria. . One of the bottlenecks limiting progress in the glycobiology research is the non-availability and/or high price of glycan-modifying enzymes,

Glycosyltransferases: An Efficient Tool for the Enzymatic Synthesis of Oligosaccharides and Derivatives as well as Mimetics Thereof

CHIMIA, 2006
Research over the past two decades has uncovered numerous biological roles for carbohydrates, e.g. in cell adhesion processes, signal transduction, malignant transformation, or viral and bacterial cell-surface recognition.
