High Expression of the Sd^a Synthase B4GALNT2 Associates with Good Prognosis and Attenuates Stemness in Colon Cancer

Cells, 2020
Background: The carbohydrate antigen Sda and its biosynthetic enzyme B4GALNT2 are highly expressed in normal colonic mucosa but are down-regulated to a variable degree in colon cancer tissues.

Deciphering glycosylation-driven prognostic insights and therapeutic prospects in glioblastoma through a comprehensive regulatory model

Frontiers in Oncology
The oncogenesis and development of glioblastoma multiforme have been linked to glycosylation modifications, which are common post-translational protein modifications.

Ganglioside biosynthesis. Characterization of uridine diphosphate galactose: GM2 galactosyltransferase in Golgiapparatus from rat liver

Journal of Lipid Research, 1976
An enzyme that transfers galactose from UDP-Gal to ganglioside GM2 (Tay-Sachs ganglioside) was concentrated 50 times in Golgi apparatus from rat liver relative to total homogenates.

A genome-wide association study reveals specific transferases as candidate loci for bovine milk oligosaccharides synthesis. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundHuman milk oligosaccharides (OS) play a key role in brain and gut microbiota development of the neonate, but the underlying biosynthetic steps of OS in the mammary gland are still largely unknown.

Engineering a Function into a Glycosyltransferase

Chemistry & Biology, 2009
As glycosyltransferases found in nature often show distinct substrate specificity, glycosyltransferase engineering is an important research field. In this work, we were able to introduce an activity into a glycosyltransferase involved in natural product (landomycin E) biosynthesis.

Capsular profiling of the Cronobacter genus and the association of specific Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus capsule types with neonatal meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus can cause serious diseases especially in infants where they are associated with rare but fatal neonatal infections such as meningitis and necrotising enterocolitis.

A Synergistic Inhibitor Development Strategy Against Human UDP‐Galactose‐4‐Epimerase

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
The epimerase GalE is crucial for the biosynthesis of cancer‐relevant O‐GalNAc glycans. Here, we employ orthogonal, structurally enabled small molecule fragment screens to yield both covalent and non‐covalent inhibitors against GalE within no more than 22 elaborated compounds.

Hidden O‐Deglycosylation Activity Triggers O → C Rearrangement for Aryl Di‐C‐Glucoside Formation by the C‐Glycosyltransferase From Fortunella crassifolia

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Here, we uncovered an unexpected O‐deglycosylation activity of the C glycosyltransferase (FcCGT), forming phloretin (1) from phloretin 2'‐O‐glucoside (2). In the presence of UDP, FcCGT catalyzes the O→C rearrangement to yield nothofagin (3). Upon additional UDP‐glucose, further C‐glycosylation occurs, forming phloretin 3',5'‐di‐C‐glucoside (4 ...
