A novel variant in the GNE gene in a Malian patient presenting with distal myopathy [PDF]
Abstract Background: GNE myopathy (GM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the GNE gene and characterized by progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. We report a novel variant in theGNE gene causing GM in a consanguineous Malian family. Case presentation: A 19-year-old male patient from a consanguineous family of

Lessons from GNE-deficient embryonic stem cells: sialic acid biosynthesis is involved in proliferation and gene expression [PDF]
Sialic acids are widely expressed as terminal carbohydrates on glycoconjugates of eukaryotic cells. They are involved in a variety of cellular functions, such as cell adhesion or signal recognition. The key enzyme of sialic acid biosynthesis is the bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE), which catalyzes the ...

Aeromonas hydrophila flagella glycosylation: involvement of a lipid carrier.
Polar flagellin proteins from Aeromonas hydrophila strain AH-3 (serotype O34) were found to be O-glycosylated with a heterogeneous glycan. Mutants unable to produce WecP or Gne enzymes showed altered motility, and the study of their polar flagellin ...
