Low glucose depletes glycan precursors, reduces site occupancy and galactosylation of a monoclonal antibody in CHO cell culture.

Biotechnol. J. 10 , 1051-66, (2015)

Controlled feeding of glucose has been employed previously to enhance the productivity of recombinant glycoproteins but there is a concern that low concentrations of glucose could limit the synthesis of precursors of glycosylation. Here we investigate the eff...

Chemo-enzymatic supported synthesis of the 3-sulfated Lewis a pentasaccharide on a multimeric polyethylene glycol.

Carbohydr. Res. 343(5) , 970-6, (2008)

The 3-sulfated Lewis(a) pentasaccharide was synthesized on multimeric-based polyethylene glycol support. Coupling of O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1-->3)-4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate wi...

Structures of NodZ α1,6-fucosyltransferase in complex with GDP and GDP-fucose.

Acta Crystallogr. D Biol. Crystallogr. 68 , 160-168, (2012)

Rhizobial NodZ α1,6-fucosyltransferase (α1,6-FucT) catalyzes the transfer of the fucose (Fuc) moiety from guanosine 5'-diphosphate-β-L-fucose to the reducing end of the chitin oligosaccharide core during Nod-factor (NF) biosynthesis. NF is a key signalling mo...

Biochemical characteristics and function of a fucosyltransferase encoded by ste7 in Ebosin biosynthesis of Streptomyces sp. 139.

J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 19(10) , 1092-7, (2009)

A novel exopolysaccharide named Ebosin was produced by Streptomyces sp. 139, with medicinal activity. Its biosynthesis gene cluster (ste) has been previously identified. For the functional study of the ste7 gene in Ebosin biosynthesis, it was disrupted with a...

Two pathways for importing GDP-fucose into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen function redundantly in the O-fucosylation of Notch in Drosophila.

J. Biol. Chem. 285(6) , 4122-9, (2010)

Notch is a transmembrane receptor that shares homology with proteins containing epidermal growth factor-like repeats and mediates the cell-cell interactions necessary for many cell fate decisions. In Drosophila, O-fucosyltransferase 1 catalyzes the O-fucosyla...

Whole cell biosynthesis of a functional oligosaccharide, 2'-fucosyllactose, using engineered Escherichia coli.

Microb. Cell Fact. 11 , 48, (2012)

2'-Fucosyllactose (2-FL) is a functional oligosaccharide present in human milk which protects against the infection of enteric pathogens. Because 2-FL can be synthesized through the enzymatic fucosylation of lactose with guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP)-l-fucos...

FRET-based direct and continuous monitoring of human fucosyltransferases activity: an efficient synthesis of versatile GDP-L-fucose derivatives from abundant D-galactose.

Chemistry 14(2) , 478-87, (2008)

We have developed a facile and versatile protocol for the continuous monitoring of human fucosyltransferases activity by using fluorescence energy resonance transfer (FRET), and have explored the feasibility of its use in an inhibitor screening assay. A conve...

Biochemical characterization of Helicobacter pylori α-1,4 fucosyltransferase: metal ion requirement, donor substrate specificity and organic solvent stability.

Biometals 22(6) , 1011-7, (2009)

The effect of metal ions on the activity, the donor substrate specificity, and the stability in organic solvents of Helicobacter pylori α-1,4 fucosyltransferase were studied. The recombinant enzyme was expressed as soluble form in E. coli strain AD494 and pur...

Biosynthesis of GDP-fucose and other sugar nucleotides in the blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum.

J. Biol. Chem. 288(23) , 16506-17, (2013)

Carbohydrate structures play important roles in many biological processes, including cell adhesion, cell-cell communication, and host-pathogen interactions. Sugar nucleotides are activated forms of sugars used by the cell as donors for most glycosylation reac...

Modulation of guanosine 5'-diphosphate-D-mannose metabolism in recombinant Escherichia coli for production of guanosine 5'-diphosphate-L-fucose.
