The implication of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V expression in gastric cancer.
OBJECTIVE N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) is a key enzyme that catalyzes beta(1-6) branching of N-acetylglucosamine on N-glycan of cell proteins, some of which are linked with metastasis. GnT-V expression was studied immunohistochemically in gastric cancer to compare clinicopathological parameters and evaluate the role of GnT-V in the prognosis of gastric cancer. METHODS Immunohisto...
متن کاملCircular dichroism spectroscopy of heparin-antithrombin interactions.
We have utilized circular dichroism spectroscopy to examine the interaction of antithrombin with heparin-derived oligosaccharides and mucopolysaccharides of various sizes. Our studies demonstrate that the various complexes exhibit two major types of chiral absorption spectra. The first of these patterns is seen when octasaccharide, decasaccharide, dodecasaccharide, or tetradecasaccharide fragme...
متن کاملSynthesis and evaluation of a radioiodinated trisaccharide derivative as a synthetic substrate for a sensitive N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V radioassay.
N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) is one of the most relevant glycosyltransferases to tumor invasion and metastasis. Based on previous findings of molecular recognition between GnT-V and synthetic substrates, we designed and synthesized a p-iodophenyl-derivatized trisaccharide, 2-(4-iodophenyl)ethyl 6-O-[2-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-α-d-mannopyranosyl]-β-D-glucopyranosid...
متن کاملCircular dichroism studies of chymotrypsin and its derivatives. Correlation of changes in dichroic bands with deacylation.
The mechanisms by which enzymes effect bond formation and cleavage have been revealed in remarkable detail by kinetic analyses of substrate and product turnover. In addition to substrateand product-based observations, a complete description of the mechanism must also include direct observations of the enzyme protein during reaction to determine the relevance of structural changes to the catalys...
متن کاملN-glycans of Phaeodactylum tricornutum diatom and functional characterization of its N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I enzyme.
N-glycosylation, a major co- and post-translational event in the synthesis of proteins in eukaryotes, is unknown in aquatic photosynthetic microalgae. In this paper, we describe the N-glycosylation pathway in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Bio-informatic analysis of its genome revealed the presence of a complete set of sequences potentially encoding for proteins involved in the synthesis...
