The activity of alpha1,6-fucosyltransferase during human megakaryocytic differentiation.
alpha1,6-Fucosyltransferase (6FucT, E.C. 2.4.1.68) is one of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of N-linked glycans of the GpIIb/IIIa complex (CD41a) which is present on megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelets. In this study, we examined 6FucT activity in ex vivo cultures of immunoselected cord blood CD34(+) cells grown in a medium promoting megakaryocytopoiesis. Our results show that the activit...
متن کاملElectrofocusing pattern of fucosyltransferase activity in human leukemic cells.
Fucosyltransferase (FT) activity of normal lymphocytes, normal granulocytes, and various types of human leukemic cells and electrofocusing pattern of FT activity in human leukemic cells and normal lymphocytes were examined using asialofetuin as an acceptor. Levels of FT activity in normal lymphocytes were higher than those of normal granulocytes in which FT activity was almost undetectable. The...
متن کاملDifferentiative changes in fucosyltransferase activity in newborn rat epidermal cells.
An enzymatic activity catalyzing the transfer of L-fucose from GDP-L-fucose to a glycoprotein that is associated with the surfaces of the basal cells has been found in the membranous fraction of the cutaneous epidermis from the newborn rat. This fucosyltransferase which is located in the differentiated cells alters the acceptor glycoprotein's lectin-binding specificity from the Isolectin I-B4 o...

متن کاملFucosyltransferase VII promotes proliferation via the EGFR/AKT/mTOR pathway in A549 cells
Fucosyltransferase VII (FUT7) is one of a1,3-fucosyltransferases family that catalyzes the final fucosylation step in the synthesis of Lewis antigens and generates a unique glycosylated product sialyl Lewis X (sLeX). sLeX can serve as ligands for E- or P-selectin expressed on the cell surface and results in cancer metastasis and angiogenesis. However, the molecular biological mechanisms of FUT7...
