N-linked glycans containing linear poly-N-acetyllactosamine as sorting signals in endocytosis in Trypanosoma brucei
African trypanosomes, such as Trypanosoma brucei, are protozoan parasites that are transmitted by the tsetse fly and cause sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in cattle. Trypanosomes evade the immune responses of their hosts by varying their surface coat protein (VSG) and restricting exocytosis and endocytosis to an invagination of the plasma membrane called the flagellar pocket (FP). The FP...
متن کاملCell surface N-glycans influence the level of functional E-cadherin at the cell–cell border
E-cadherin is crucial for adhesion of cells to each other and thereby development and maintenance of tissue. While it is has been established that N-glycans inside the cell impact the level of E-cadherin at the cell surface of epithelial-derived cells, it is unclear whether N-glycans outside the cell control the clustering of E-cadherin at the cell-cell border. Here, we demonstrate reduction of...
متن کاملDimeric galectin-1 binds with high affinity to alpha2,3-sialylated and non-sialylated terminal N-acetyllactosamine units on surface-bound extended glycans.
Galectin-1 is a member of the galectin family of glycan-binding proteins and occurs as an approximately 29.5-kDa noncovalent homodimer (dGal-1) that is widely expressed in many tissues. Here, we report that human recombinant dGal-1 bound preferentially and with high affinity (apparent K(d) approximately 2-4 microM) to immobilized extended glycans containing terminal N-acetyllactosamine (LN; Gal...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression of a novel human beta-Gal-3-O-sulfotransferase that acts preferentially on N-acetyllactosamine in N- and O-glycans.
A novel cDNA-encoding galactose 3-O-sulfotransferase was cloned by screening the expressed sequence tag data base using the previously cloned cDNA encoding a galactosyl ceramide 3-O-sulfotransferase, which we term Gal3ST-1. The newly isolated cDNA encodes a novel 3-O-sulfotransferase, termed Gal3ST-3, that acts exclusively on N-acetyllactosamine present in N-glycans and core2-branched O-glycans...
متن کاملalpha 2-6-Linked sialic acids on N-glycans modulate carcinoma differentiation in vivo.
Sialic acids on vertebrate cell surfaces mediate many biological roles. Altered expression of certain sialic acid types or their linkages can have prognostic significance in human cancer. A classic but unexplained example is enhanced alpha2-6-sialylation on N-glycans resulting from overexpression of the Golgi enzyme beta-galactoside:alpha2-6-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal-I). Previous data supportin...
