A new assay for determining ganglioside sialyltransferase activities lactosylceramide-2,3-sialyltransferase (SAT I) and monosialylganglioside-2,3-sialyltransferase (SAT IV). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
A new assay for the determination of lactosylceramide-2,3-sialyltransferase (SAT I, EC 2.4.99.9) and monosialoganglioside sialyltransferase (SAT IV, EC 2.4.99.2) is described.

Marine Bacterial Sialyltransferases [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2010
Sialyltransferases transfer N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from the common donor substrate of these enzymes, cytidine 5’-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac), to acceptor substrates.

Sialyltransferase inhibition and recent advances [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2016
Sialic acids, existing as terminal sugars of glycoconjugates, play important roles in various physiological and pathological processes, such as cell-cell adhesion, immune defense, tumor cell metastasis, and inflammation. Sialyltransferases (STs) catalyze the transfer of sialic acid residues to non-reducing oligosaccharide chains of proteins and lipids,

Cystic fibrosis liver sialyltransferase

open access: yesClinical Genetics, 1978
The activity of sialyltransferase with regard to the glycoprotein substrates asialofetuin and asialo‐ovine submaxillary mucin was determined in normal, pathological control, and cystic fibrosis liver homogenates. Cystic fibrosis and pathological livers have about 40% of the average normal specific activity for sialyltransferase.Several properties of ...

NEW POTENT SIALYLTRANSFERASE INHIBITORS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The present invention relates to anew class of sialyltransferase inhibitors. The class features a carbamate or similar moiety on the amine of a neuraminic acid derivative. Such inhibitors are suitable for use as a medicament, for example for treating, preventing, or delaying bacterial infection, viral infection, cancer, a disorder of sialic acid ...

The animal sialyltransferases and sialyltransferase-related genes: a phylogenetic approach [PDF]

open access: yesGlycobiology, 2005
The animal sialyltransferases are Golgi type II transmembrane glycosyltransferases. Twenty distinct sialyltransferases have been identified in both human and murine genomes. These enzymes catalyze transfer of sialic acid from CMP-Neu5Ac to the glycan moiety of glycoconjugates. Despite low overall identities, they share four conserved peptide motifs [L (

Sialyltransferase Activity and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2014
Leukocyte accumulation within the vascular wall is a major feature of atherosclerotic disease and plays crucial roles in the inception, progression, and complications of atherosclerosis. Several coordinated steps converge to promote subendothelial and perivascular accumulation of leukocytes.

Haploinsufficiency of the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Risk Gene St3gal3 in Mice Causes Alterations in Cognition and Expression of Genes Involved in Myelination and Sialylation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Genome wide association meta-analysis identified ST3GAL3, a gene encoding the beta-galactosidase-alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase-III, as a risk gene for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Effect of membrane lipids on the lactosylceramide molecular species specificity of CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:lactosylceramide sialyltransferase

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1993
It has previously been shown that when the molecular species specificity of rat liver Golgi CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:lactosylceramide alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase was determined, using as the substrate lactosylceramide (LacCer) incorporated into liposomes ...
