1. Glycans expression and their involvement with the loss of stability of adherens junctions in colorectal cancer cells / Expressão de glicanos e seu envolvimento com a perda da estabilidade das junções aderentes em células de câncer colo-retal
A junção aderente (JA) é um dos principais componentes do complexo juncional apical. Esta juncão é um complexo multiprotéico em que a E-caderina, uma glicoproteína transmembrana, atua como principal mediadora da adesão célula-célula. Sua ancoragem ao citoesqueleto de actina ocorre via proteínas da família das cateninas. Modificações pós-traduc

3. Enhancing the anticancer properties of cardiac glycosides by neoglycorandomization
Glycosylated natural products are reliable platforms for the development of many front-line drugs, yet our understanding of the relationship between attached sugars and biological activity is limited by the availability of convenient glycosylation methods. When a universal chemical glycosylation method that employs reducing sugars and requires no protection

4. Glycosylation and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has been known for the past 11 years to be a membrane glycoprotein with chloride channel activity. Only recently has the glycosylation of CFTR been examined in detail, by O'Riordan et al in Glycobiology. Using cells that overexpress wild-type (wt)CFTR, the presence of polylactosamine was noted on

5. Intervention of carbohydrate recognition by proteins and nucleic acids.
Carbohydrates in biological systems are often associated with specific recognition and signaling processes leading to important biological functions and diseases. Considerable efforts have been directed toward understanding and mimicking the recognition processes and developing effective agents to control the processes. The pace of discovery research in glyc

6. Role of β-d-Galactofuranose in Leishmania major Macrophage Invasion
The role of glycosylinositol phospholipid 1 (GIPL-1) of Leishmania (Leishmania) major in the interaction of promastigotes and amastigotes with macrophages was analyzed. Monoclonal antibody MEST-1, which recognizes glycolipids containing terminal galactofuranose (Galf) residues (E. Suzuki, M. S. Toledo, H. K. Takahashi, and A. H. Straus, Glycobiology 7:463-46

7. Cloning and Characterization of the Phosphatidylserine Synthase Gene of Agrobacterium sp. Strain ATCC 31749 and Effect of Its Inactivation on Production of High-Molecular-Mass (1→3)-β-d-Glucan (Curdlan)
Genes involved in the production of the extracellular (1→3)-β-glucan, curdlan, by Agrobacterium sp. strain ATCC 31749 were described previously (Stasinopoulos et al., Glycobiology 9:31-41, 1999). To identify additional curdlan-related genes whose protein products occur in the cell envelope, the transposon TnphoA was used as a specific genetic probe. One m

8. Altered extent of cross-linking of beta1,6-glucosylated mannoproteins to chitin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants with reduced cell wall beta1,3-glucan content.
The yeast cell wall contains beta1,3-glucanase-extractable and beta1,3-glucanase-resistant mannoproteins. The beta1,3-glucanase-extractable proteins are retained in the cell wall by attachment to a beta1,6-glucan moiety, which in its turn is linked to beta1,3-glucan (J. C. Kapteyn, R. C. Montijn, E. Vink, J. De La Cruz, A. Llobell, J. E. Douwes, H. Shimoi, P

9. The Prevalence and Nature of Glycan Alterations on Specific Proteins in Pancreatic Cancer Patients Revealed Using Antibody-Lectin Sandwich Arrays*
Changes to the glycan structures of proteins secreted by cancer cells are known to be functionally important and to have potential diagnostic value. However, an exploration of the population variation and prevalence of glycan alterations on specific proteins has been lacking because of limitations in conventional glycobiology methods. Here we report the use

10. Glycobiology: 'the function of sugar in the IgG molecule'.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is glycosylated in both the Fc and the Fab regions of the protein with a heterogeneous ensemble of structures (glycoforms) that is both highly reproducible (i.e. nonrandom) and site specific. In normal IgG, the 2 highly conserved oligosaccharides of the Fc region are found buried between the CH2 domains, forming specific protein-saccha
