1,10-Phenanthroline Inhibits Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchoring by Preventing Phosphoethanolamine Addition to Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Precursors [PDF]

Biochemistry, 2001
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) moiety is widely used to anchor a functionally diverse group of proteins to the plasma membrane of eukaryotes. In mammals, the predominant glycan structure of the GPI anchor consists of EthN-P-Man-Man-(EthN-P)Man-GlcN attached to an inositol phospholipid.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycopeptides [PDF]

Chemical Communications, 2010
MUC1 glycopeptide was efficiently coupled to glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) derivatives by sortase A (SrtA), verifying that SrtA can accept sterically hindered glycopeptide as substrate for ligation with GPIs. This work has established a practical method for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of GPI-linked glycopeptides.

Analysis of the Recovery of Immune Status in the Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria After Treatment With C5 Complement Inhibitor

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We retrospectively evaluated the impact of C5 complement inhibition on immune cell profiles and recovery in 27 PNH patients; both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited partial recovery, while B cell counts increased but remained below normal levels. In contrast, Treg cells were significantly reduced in PNH patients and showed no notable change post‐treatment.

The cholesterol ester cycle regulates signalling complexes and synapse damage caused by amyloid-ß [PDF]

, 2017
Cholesterol is required for the formation and function of some signalling platforms. In synaptosomes, amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers, the causative agent in Alzheimer's disease, bind to cellular prion proteins (PrPC) resulting in increased cholesterol ...

The photoswitchable ABAMIs for the future regulation of GWT1 in a spatiotemporal level

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The GWT1‐targeted azobenzene‐aminopyridine derivatives (ABAMIs), sensitive to the light at wavelengths from 365 to 520 nm, are separately developed as photochromic ligands to regulate bioactivity as well as the GWT1 functions. These molecules are smart tools in photopharmacological studies, giving an innovative method for understanding functional GWT1 ...

Sialic Acid on the Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Regulates PrP-mediated Cell Signaling and Prion Formation. [PDF]

, 2015
The prion diseases occur following the conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into disease-related isoforms (PrP(Sc)). In this study, the role of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor attached to PrP(C) in prion formation was examined ...

CD90 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression by Regulating SLC1A5‐Mediated Glutamine Metabolism Through YY1

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
The CD90‐YY1‐SLC1A5 axis plays a significant role in gastric cancer. CD90 promotes the binding of YY1 to the SLC1A5 promoter. CD90 regulates SLC1A5‐mediated glutamine metabolism and ferroptosis. ABSTRACT CD90 (THY1) is a cell surface glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of various malignant tumors.
