Glutamine deprivation triggers NAGK-dependent hexosamine salvage
eLife, 2021 Tumors frequently exhibit aberrant glycosylation, which can impact cancer progression and therapeutic responses. The hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) produces uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), a major substrate for glycosylation ...

Metabolic labeling of the bacterial peptidoglycan by functionalized glucosamine
iScience, 2022 Summary: N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an essential monosaccharide required in almost all organisms. Fluorescent labeling of the peptidoglycan (PG) on N-acetylglucosamine has been poorly explored.

A Mutant Yeast Deficient in Golgi Transport of Uridine Diphosphate N-Acetylglucosamine [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 Mannan chains of Kluyveromyces lactis mannoproteins are similar to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae except that they have terminal alpha1-->2-linked N-acetylglucosamine and lack mannose phosphate. In a previous study, Douglas and Ballou (Douglas, R. K., and Ballou, C. E.

Preparation of Uridine Diphosphate- N -Acetylgalactosamine from Uridine Diphosphate- N -Acetylglucosamine by Using Microbial Enzymes [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1981 A method was developed for the large scale preparation of uridine diphosphate- N -acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) from uridine diphosphate- N -acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) by means of microbial enzymes.

Uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine stimulates uptake of nutrients by quiescent BALB/C3T3 cells. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1978 Preincubation of quiescent BALB/C3T3 cells with uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) in conditioned medium resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent stimulation of uptake of 2-deoxyglucose, uridine, and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid over that seen in conditioned medium alone.

Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinasedeletion in mice leads to lethal intracerebral hemorrhage during embryonic development [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2021 AbstractAmong the enzymes of the biosynthesis of sialoglycoconjugates, uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE), catalyzing the first essential step of the sialic acid (Sia) de novo biosynthesis, and cytidine monophosphate (CMP)-Sia synthase (CMAS), activating Sia to CMP-Sia, are particularly important.

Molecular cloning of the Golgi apparatus uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine transporter from Kluyveromyces lactis. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 The mannan chains of Kluyveromyces lactis mannoproteins are similar to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae except that they lack mannose phosphate and have terminal alpha1-->2-linked N-acetylglucosamine. The biosynthesis of these chains probably occurs in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus, by analogy to S. cerevisiae.
