Binding of mannose-6-phosphate and heparin by boar seminal plasma PSP-II, a member of the spermadhesin protein family [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
PSP-I/PSP-II, a heterodimer of glycosylated spermadhesins, is the major component of boar seminal plasma. Similarly to other spermadhesins, the PSP-II subunit is a lectin which displays heparin- and zona pellucida glycoprotein-binding activities. We have

A Bifunctional Phosphoglucomutase/Phosphomannomutase from Thermococcus kodakarensis: Biophysical Analysis and Cryo-EM Structure

open access: yesBiomolecules
Phosphoglucomutase (EC 5.4.2.2., PGM), a key enzyme of glycogenolysis and glycogenesis, catalyzes the interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate, whereas phosphomannomutase (EC 5.4.2.8., PMM) transfers the phosphate group from the 1 ...

Targeting MAN1B1 potently enhances bladder cancer antitumor immunity via deglycosylation of CD47

open access: yesCancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Only a few bladder cancer patients benefit from anti‐programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 immunotherapy. The cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) plays an important role in tumor immune evasion. CD47 is a highly glycosylated protein, however, the mechanisms governing CD47 glycosylation and its potential ...

Apolipoprotein E-deficient lipoproteins induce foam cell formation by downregulation of lysosomal hydrolases in macrophages

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2007
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) deficiency has been suggested to induce foam cell formation. Using lipoproteins obtained from wild-type mice and apoE-deficient mice expressing apoB-48 but not apoB-100, we studied apoE-deficient lipoprotein-induced changes in ...

Disruption of Retriever Function Impacts Retrograde Trafficking From Endosomes

open access: yesCell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within endosomes cargo proteins are sorted and packaged into endosomal‐transport carriers (ETCs) enabling their delivery to other intracellular compartments. Retromer, a conserved multimeric protein complex, has defined functions in sorting cargo mediating formation of ETCs for both retrograde trafficking back to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN ...

Design of Potent Mannose‐6‐Phosphate Derivatives as Ligands for CI‐M6P/IGF2R Using Fluorescence Polarization Assay

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We designed and synthesized novel mannose‐6‐phosphate (M6P) derivatives to enhance their binding affinity for the CI‐M6P/IGF2 receptor, which plays a key role in lysosomal targeting. Using a fluorescence polarization assay, we evaluated di‐, tri‐, and penta‐M6P peptides and modified M6P analogs.

Transcriptome sequencing of Saccharina japonica sporophytes during whole developmental periods reveals regulatory networks underlying alginate and mannitol biosynthesis

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background Alginate is an important cell wall component and mannitol is a soluble storage carbon substance in the brown seaweed Saccharina japonica. Their contents vary with kelp developmental periods and harvesting time. Alginate and mannitol regulatory

Exploring the Impact of Phenanthroline‐Based Glycoconjugated Ru(II) Polypyridyl Photosensitizers on Metastasis‐Related Processes

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A novel family of water‐soluble, nontoxic, and phosphorescent N‐glycosylated Ru(II) phenanthroline‐based complexes are reported. They exhibit photoselectivity indexes ranging from 10 to 44 in PC‐3 cells, while impacting cell migration and resistance to detachment after irradiation with blue light.

Unveiling the metabolic fate of monosaccharides in cell membranes with glycomic and glycoproteomic analyses. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cell membrane protein glycosylation is dependent on the metabolic state of the cell as well as exogenous nutrients available. Although the metabolism and interconversion of monosaccharides have been well-studied, their incorporation into cell surface ...
