The Mechanism by which 146-N-Glycan Affects the Active Site of Neuraminidase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 One of the most conserved glycosylation sites of neuraminidase (NA) is 146-N-glycan. This site is adjacent to the 150-cavity of NA, which is found within the active site and thought to be a target for rational drug development against the antiviral ...

N-glycan breakdown by bacterial CAZymes
Essays in Biochemistry, 2023 Abstract The modification of proteins by N-glycans is ubiquitous to most organisms and they have multiple biological functions, including protecting the adjoining protein from degradation and facilitating communication or adhesion between cells, for example. Microbes have evolved CAZymes to deconstruct different types of N-glycans and

Mechanism of glycoform specificity and in vivo protection by an anti-afucosylated IgG nanobody
Nature Communications, 2023 Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies contain a complex N-glycan embedded in the hydrophobic pocket between its heavy chain protomers. This glycan contributes to the structural organization of the Fc domain and determines its specificity for Fcγ receptors ...

Identification and functional characterization of a highly divergent N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (TbGnTI) in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2014 Trypanosoma brucei expresses a diverse repertoire of N-glycans, ranging from oligomannose and paucimannose structures to exceptionally large complex N-glycans.

Diagnostic accuracy of urinary prostate protein glycosylation profiling in prostatitis diagnosis [PDF]
, 2015 Introduction: Although prostatitis is a common male urinary tract infection, clinical diagnosis of prostatitis is difficult. The developmental mechanism of prostatitis is not yet unraveled which led to the elaboration of various biomarkers. As changes in

T cell senescence by N-glycan branching
Aging, 2022 Immune-senescence refers to the aging of the immune system and the resulting deterioration in its ability to fight infections and cancer in older individuals. This phenomenon is reflected in the numerous infectious diseases which show increased severity in the elderly, most recently demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Biological significance of complex N-glycans in plants and their impact on plant physiology
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Asparagine (N)-linked protein glycosylation is a ubiquitous co- and post-translational modification which can alter the biological function of proteins and consequently affects the development, growth and physiology of organisms.

Improved method for drawing of a glycan map, and the first page of glycan atlas, which is a compilation of glycan maps for a whole organism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Glycan Atlas is a set of glycan maps over the whole body of an organism. The glycan map that includes data of glycan structure and quantity displays micro-heterogeneity of the glycans in a tissue, an organ, or cells. The two-dimensional glycan mapping is

Glycosylation pattern of brush border-associated glycoproteins in enterocyte-like cells: involvement of complex-type N-glycans in apical trafficking [PDF]
, 2009 We have previously reported that galectin-4, a tandem repeat-type galectin, regulates the raft-dependent delivery of glycoproteins to the apical brush border membrane of enterocyte-like HT-29 cells.
