متن کاملLectin Domains of Polypeptide GalNAc Transferases Exhibit Glycopeptide Binding Specificity*
UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide α-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts) constitute a family of up to 20 transferases that initiate mucin-type O-glycosylation. The transferases are structurally composed of catalytic and lectin domains. Two modes have been identified for the selection of glycosylation sites by GalNAc-Ts: confined sequence recognition by the catalytic domain alone, and concerted r...
متن کاملPalmitoylation of the SNAP25 protein family: specificity and regulation by DHHC palmitoyl transferases.
SNAP25 plays an essential role in neuronal exocytosis pathways. SNAP25a and SNAP25b are alternatively spliced isoforms differing by only nine amino acids, three of which occur within the palmitoylated cysteine-rich domain. SNAP23 is 60% identical to SNAP25 and has a distinct cysteine-rich domain to both SNAP25a and SNAP25b. Despite the conspicuous differences within the palmitoylated domains of...
متن کاملSpecificity of Glycosyl Transferases
An approach to the study of the specificity of glycosyl transferases is discussed which is based on the use of synthetic substrate analogs. A new method has been developed for the synthesis of polyprenyl pyrophosphate sugars, intermediates in the biosynthesis ofSalmonella 0-specific polysaccharides. Some synthetic analogs of guanosine diphosphate D-mannose and thymidine diphosphate L-rhamnose h...
متن کاملCharacterization of human palmitoyl-acyl transferase activity using peptides that mimic distinct palmitoylation motifs.
The covalent attachment of palmitate to proteins commonly occurs on cysteine residues near either N-myristoylated glycine residues or C-terminal farnesylated cysteine residues. It therefore seems likely that multiple palmitoyl-acyl transferase (PAT) activities exist to recognize and modify these distinct palmitoylation motifs. To evaluate this possibility, two synthetic peptides representing th...
