Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

A conserved major facilitator superfamily member orchestrates a subset of O-glycosylation to aid macrophage tissue invasion [PDF]
Aberrant display of the truncated core1 O-glycan T-antigen is a common feature of human cancer cells that correlates with metastasis. Here we show that T-antigen in Drosophila melanogaster macrophages is involved in their developmentally programmed ...

GOLPH2 expression may serve as diagnostic marker in seminomas [PDF]
: BACKGROUND: GOLPH2 (Golgi phosphoprotein 2) is a novel Golgi membrane protein. Despite its unknown physiologic function, however, it has been proposed as a biomarker for hepatocellular and prostate carcinoma due to its upregulation in those cancer ...

Towards an automated analysis of bacterial peptidoglycan structure. [PDF]
Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential component of the bacterial cell envelope. This macromolecule consists of glycan chains alternating N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid, cross-linked by short peptides containing nonstandard amino acids ...

Mapping the O‐glycoproteome using site‐specific extraction of O‐linked glycopeptides (EXoO)
Protein glycosylation is one of the most abundant post‐translational modifications. However, detailed analysis of O‐linked glycosylation, a major type of protein glycosylation, has been severely impeded by the scarcity of suitable methodologies.

Site-Specific Glycoprofiles of HDL-Associated ApoE are Correlated with HDL Functional Capacity and Unaffected by Short-Term Diet. [PDF]
Since high-density lipoprotein (HDL) glycoprofiles are associated with HDL functional capacity, we set out to determine whether diet can alter the glycoprofiles of key HDL-associated proteins, including ApoE, a potent driver of chronic disease risk.

Glycans and glycosaminoglycans in neurobiology: key regulators of neuronal cell function and fate [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to examine the roles of l-fucose and the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) with selected functional molecules in neural tissues.
