LacdiNAcylation of N-glycans in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells results in changes in morphological appearance and adhesive properties of the cells
We demonstrated previously that the expression of the disaccharide, GalNAcβ1 → 4GlcNAc (LacdiNAc), on N-glycans of cell surface glycoproteins in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells suppresses their malignant pro...

A Tentative Assumption of Electroacoustic Music as an Enjoyable Music for Diverse People
Music went through a huge transformation between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Part of this transformation involved the separation of music intended for entertainment, which everyo...

Open AccessA new buckwheat dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), with a unique substrate binding structure, has altered substrate specificity
Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) is the key enzyme committed to anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. DFR proteins can catalyse mainly the three substrates (dihy...

Isolation of a methylated mannose-binding protein from terrestrial worm Enchytraeus japonensis
To elucidate a biological role of the methylated mannose residues found in N-glycans of terrestrial worm Enchytraeus japonensis, we first synthesized 3-O-methyl mannose- and 4-O-methyl mannose-derivatives and imm...

Involvement of murine β-1,4-galactosyltransferase V in lactosylceramide biosynthesis
Human β-1,4-galactosyltransferase (β-1,4-GalT) V was shown to be involved in the biosynthesis of N-glycans, O-glycans and lactosylceramide (Lac-Cer) by in vitro studies. To determine its substrate specificity, en...
