Serum N-Glycan Profiling Predicts Prognosis in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis [PDF]
Background. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of serum N-glycan profiling for prognosis in hemodialysis patients. Methods. Serum N-glycan analysis was performed in 100 hemodialysis patients in June 2008 using the glycoblotting method ...

N-Glycans in cancer progression [PDF]
N-Glycan branching in the medial-Golgi generates ligands for lattice-forming lectins (e.g., galectins) that regulate surface levels of glycoproteins including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptors. Moreover, functional classes of glycoproteins differ in N-glycan multiplicities (number of N-glycans ...

Identification of novel high mannose N-glycan isomers undescribed by current multicellular eukaryotic biosynthetic pathways [PDF]
N-linked glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of proteins. Current knowledge of multicellular eukaryote N-glycan biosynthesis suggests high mannose N-glycans are generated in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi ...

Glycan Positioning Impacts HIV-1 Env Glycan-Shield Density, Function, and Recognition by Antibodies
Summary: HIV-1 envelope (Env) N-glycosylation impact virus-cell entry and immune evasion. How each glycan interacts to shape the Env-protein-sugar complex and affects Env function is not well understood.

From structural to functional glycomics: core substitutions as molecular switches for shape and lectin affinity of N-glycans [PDF]
Glycan epitopes of cellular glycoconjugates act as versatile biochemical signals (sugar coding). Here, we test the hypothesis that the common N-glycan modifications by core fucosylation and introduction of the bisecting N-acetylglucosamine moiety have ...
