Activities and expression pattern of the carbohydrate sulfotransferase GlcNAc6ST-3 (I-GlcNAc6ST): functional implications.
In recent years, a family of five GlcNAc-6-O-sulfotransferases, called the GlcNAc6STs, has been molecularly cloned. One of these, GlcNAc6ST-2 (originally named HEC-GlcNAc6ST or LSST), shows a very restricted expression at the mRNA level in high endothelial cells (HECs) of lymph nodes high endothelial venules (HEVs). This enzyme has been shown to be involved in elaborating the 6-sulfo sLex struc...
متن کاملEctopic expression of a GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase, GlcNAc6ST-2, in colonic mucinous adenocarcinoma.
The content of sulfated glycans having 6-O-sulfated GlcNAc residues alters in the course of colonic carcinogenesis. We previously characterized two GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferases (SulTs), SulT-a and -b, expressed in colonic normal tissues and adenocarcinomas [Seko et al. (2000) Glycobiology, 10, 919-929]. Levels of the enzymatic activities of SulT-a in normal colonic mucosa are higher than those ...
متن کاملSpecificities of N-acetylglucosamine-6-O-sulfotransferases in relation to L-selectin ligand synthesis and tumor-associated enzyme expression.
N-Acetylglucosamine-6-O-sulfotransferase (GlcNAc6ST) catalyzes the transfer of sulfate from adenosine 3'-phosphate,5'-phosphosulfate to the C-6 position of the non-reducing GlcNAc. Three human GlcNAc6STs, namely GlcNAc6ST-1, GlcNAc6ST-2 (HEC-GlcNAc6ST), and GlcNAc6ST-3 (I-GlcNAc6ST), were produced as fusion proteins to protein A, and their substrate specificities as well as their enzymological ...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولDecreased GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase activity in the cornea with macular corneal dystrophy.
PURPOSE Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that is accompanied by corneal opacity. Explants from MCD-affected corneas have been reported to synthesize low-sulfated KS, suggesting that sulfate groups attached to KS may play critical roles in maintaining corneal transparency. To clear the biosynthetic defect in the MCD cornea, sulfotransferase activities ...
