    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...

    Expression and characterization of the first snail-derived UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase

    UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide GalNAc transferase (ppGalNAcT; EC 2.4.1.41) catalyzes the first step in mucin-type O-glycosylation. To date, several members of this large enzyme family have been analyzed in detail. In ...

    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...

    Preferential reduction of the α-2-6-sialylation from cell surface N-glycans of human diploid fibroblastic cells by in vitro aging

    Human diploid fibroblastic cell line, TIG-3, has a finite life span of about 80 population doubling levels (PDL), and is used for in vitro aging studies. Young cells (PDL 23) grew to higher cell densities at a hi...

    Differences in N-acetyllactosamine synthesis between β-1,4-galactosyltransferases I and V

    Unlike classical β-1,4-galactosyltransferase (β-1,4-GalT I), β-1,4-GalT V (formerly IV*) has little activity towards 1 mM N-acetylglucosamine [Sato et al. (1998) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95: 472-477]. The human ...
