Naïve T cells re-distribute to the lungs of selectin ligand deficient mice. [PDF]
Selectin mediated tethering represents one of the earliest steps in T cell extravasation into lymph nodes via high endothelial venules and is dependent on the biosynthesis of sialyl Lewis X (sLe(x)) ligands by several glycosyltransferases, including two ...

Characterization of Fut10 and Fut11, Putative Alpha-1-3/4 Fucosyltransferase Genes Important for Vertebrate Development [PDF]
Two new, putative alpha-1-3/4 fucosyltransferases ([alpha]1-3/4 Fuc-Ts), Fuc-TX and Fuc-TXI, were identified in the vertebrate genome and transcriptome sequence databases through sequence homology-based queries. These proteins have a significant sequence

Efficient Biosynthesis of 2’-Fucosyllactose Using Glycerol and Lactose in Engineered Escherichia coli [PDF]
In this study, the de novo synthesis pathway of 2’-FL was established in Escherichia coli BL21star(DE3). The β-galactosidase gene (lacZ) and the UDP-glucose lipid carrier transferase gene (wcaJ) were knocked out by the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

Profiling of aminoxyTMT-labeled bovine milk oligosaccharides reveals substantial variation in oligosaccharide abundance between dairy cattle breeds. [PDF]
Free milk oligosaccharides are bioactive molecules that function as prebiotics and prevent infections that commonly afflict developing infants. To date, few publications have examined the factors affecting bovine milk oligosaccharide production among ...

Transforming growth factor β signaling upregulates the expression of human GDP-fucose transporter by activating transcription factor Sp1. [PDF]
GDP-fucose transporter plays a crucial role in fucosylation of glycoproteins by providing activated fucose donor, GDP-fucose, for fucosyltransferases in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus. Fucose-containing glycans are involved in many biological processes,
