Structural Insights into the Substrate Recognition of Ginsenoside Glycosyltransferase Pq3‐O‐UGT2
This work reveals the crystal structures of Pq3‐O‐UGT2 with its substrates (Rh2 or F2), unveiling an Nα5‐oriented binding pocket and unique linker conformation. Hydrophobic interactions are crucial for substrate recognition, while hydrogen bonds enhance specificity for F2. This study enhances the understanding of ginsenoside UGTs' substrate recognition

Glycosylated Notch and Cancer [PDF]
Glycosylation is one of the key components influencing several signaling pathways implicated in cell survival and growth. The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in numerous cell fate specifications during metazoan development. Both Notch and its ligands are repeatedly glycosylated by the addition of sugar moieties, such as O-fucose, O-glucose,

Structure and stereochemistry of the base excision repair glycosylase MutY reveal a mechanism similar to retaining glycosidases. [PDF]
MutY adenine glycosylases prevent DNA mutations by excising adenine from promutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG):A mismatches. Here, we describe structural features of the MutY active site bound to an azaribose transition state analog which indicate a

Functional, pathogenic, and pharmacological roles of protein folding intermediates
Abstract Protein expression and function in eukaryotic cells are tightly harmonized processes modulated by the combination of different layers of regulation, including transcription, processing, stability, and translation of messenger RNA, as well as assembly, maturation, sorting, recycling, and degradation of polypeptides.

Polysaccharide conformations measured by solution state x-ray scattering [PDF]
Polysaccharides are semi-flexible polymers composed of sugar residues with a myriad of important functions including structural support, energy storage and immunogenicity. The local conformation of such chains is a crucial factor governing their interactions, where the relative orientation of adjacent sugar rings determines the propensity for hydrogen ...
