The Hd0053 gene of Haemophilus ducreyi encodes an α2,3-sialyltransferase

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2007
Haemophilus ducreyi is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes chancroid, a sexually transmitted genital ulcer disease. Different lipooligosaccharide (LOS) structures have been identified from H. ducreyi strain 35000, including those sialylated glycoforms.

Sialyltransferases in cancer

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2001
It has long been known that cancer cells often express more heavily sialylated glycans on their surface and that this feature sometimes correlates with invasion. It is now well established that specific sialylated structures, such as the Thomsen-Friedenreich-related antigens, the sialyl Lewis antigens, the sialyl alpha2-6 lactosaminyl structure, the ...

Sialyltransferase activity in leukemia

Leukemia Research, 1982
Sialyltransferase activity in blasts from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was markedly lower (1.68 +/- 1.23 pmol/mg protein) than those (6.18 +/- 2.22 pmol/mg protein) of lymphocytes from normal volunteers (t less than 0.001). On the contrary, enzyme activity was significantly increased in blasts (1.21 +/- 0.38 pmol/mg protein) from acute non ...

PmST3 from Pasteurella multocida encoded by Pm1174 gene is a monofunctional α2–3-sialyltransferase

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011
Pasteurella multocida (Pm) strain Pm70 has three putative sialyltransferase genes including Pm0188, Pm0508, and Pm1174. A Pm0188 gene homolog in Pm strain P-1059 encodes a multifunctional α2–3-sialyltransferase, PmST1, that prefers oligosaccharide ...

A new fluorescent assay for sialyltransferase

Carbohydrate Research, 2001
A new fluorescent assay for the sialyltransferase reaction was established. After incubation of the sialyltransferase reaction, the sialyloligosaccharide obtained was treated by acid hydrolysis, and then the NeuAc that was released was labeled with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxibenzene.

Identification of Sialyltransferases of Streptococcus agalactiae.

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2002
Group B streptococci, Streptococcus agalactiae, produce high-molecular-weight polysaccharides containing N-acetylneuraminic acid. Although the type-specific capsular polysaccharide (CP) synthesis (cps) genes of several S. agalactiae strains have been extensively analyzed, to date, no sialyltransferase activity has been detected from any gene product of

Ginsenosides, potent inhibitors of sialyltransferase

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2020
Abstract The overexpression of sialic acids and sialyltransferases (STs) during malignant transformation and progression could result in the aberrant sialylation of cancer cells. Therefore, interfering the sialic acid synthesis might be an effective pathway in cancer therapy. In this study, we assessed that the antitumor inhibitors of 20(

Sialylation and sialyltransferase in insects

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2018
Sialic acids are negatively charged nine carbon monosaccharides located terminally on glycoproteins and glycolipids that control cellular physiological processes. Sialylation is a post translational modification (ptm) regulated by enzymes and has been studied in prokaryotes including bacteria, dueterostomes including vertebrates, Cephalochordates ...

Human liver glycoprotein sialyltransferase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1977
Abstract Sialyltransferase ( CMP -N- acetylneuraminate: d -galactosyl-glycoprotein N- acetylneuraminyltransferase , EC 2.4.99.1) has been studied using the two glycoprotein substrates asialofetuin and asialo-ovine submaxillary mucin (A-OSM) in fresh and frozen human adult and fetal livers.

Sialyltransferase activity in tumor tissues

Klinische Wochenschrift, 1984
Sialyltransferase (ST) activity was examined in tumor and control tissues. Within each group of control tissues a wide variation in the levels of ST activity was observed. Only in 20% of the tumors was the ST activity above the range of enzyme activity of the corresponding group of control tissues.
