Trapping and Characterization of the Reaction Intermediate in Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase by Use of Activated Substrates and a Mutant Enzyme [PDF]
, 1997 Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTases) catalyze the degradation of starch into linear or cyclic oligosaccharides via a glycosyl transfer reaction occurring with retention of anomeric configuration.

Mucin-Type O-Glycosylation in Gastric Carcinogenesis
Biomolecules, 2016 Mucin-type O-glycosylation plays a crucial role in several physiological and pathological processes of the gastric tissue. Modifications in enzymes responsible for key glycosylation steps and the consequent abnormal biosynthesis and expression of their ...

Processivity in Bacterial Glycosyltransferases [PDF]
ACS Chemical Biology, 2019 Extracellular polysaccharides and glycoproteins of pathogenic bacteria assist in adherence, autoaggregation, biofilm formation, and host immune system evasion. As a result, considerable research in the field of glycobiology is dedicated to study the composition and function of glycans associated with virulence, as well as the enzymes involved in their ...

Cellular O-Glycome Reporter/Amplification to explore O-glycans of living cells [PDF]
, 2015 Protein O-glycosylation has key roles in many biological processes, but the repertoire of O-glycans synthesized by cells is difficult to determine. Here we describe an approach termed Cellular O-Glycome Reporter/Amplification (CORA), a sensitive method ...

A seed-specific regulator of triterpene saponin biosynthesis in Medicago truncatula [PDF]
, 2020 Plants produce a vast array of defense compounds to protect themselves from pathogen attack or herbivore predation. Saponins are a specific class of defense compounds comprising bioactive glycosides with a steroidal or triterpenoid aglycone backbone. The

The Suitability of Orthogonal Hosts to Study Plant Cell Wall Biosynthesis
Plants, 2019 Plant cells are surrounded by an extracellular matrix that consists mainly of polysaccharides. Many molecular components involved in plant cell wall polymer synthesis have been identified, but it remains largely unknown how these molecular players ...
