General Tolerance of Galactosyltransferases toward UDP-galactosamine Expands Their Synthetic Capability.

Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)

Fu X, Gadi MR, Wang S, Han J, Liu D, Chen X, Yin J, Li L.
PMID: 34661966
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2021 Dec 13;60(51):26555-26560. doi: 10.1002/anie.202112574. Epub 2021 Nov 09.

Accessing large numbers of structurally diverse glycans and derivatives is essential to functional glycomics. We showed a general tolerance of galactosyltransferases toward uridine-diphosphate-galactosamine (UDP-GalN), which is not a commonly used sugar nucleotide donor. The property was harnessed to develop...

α(1-3)-Galactosyltransferase Inhibition Based on a New Type of Disubstrate Analogue.

Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)

Waldscheck B, Streiff M, Notz W, Kinzy W, Schmidt RR.
PMID: 29712256
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2001 Nov 05;40(21):4007-4011. doi: 10.1002/1521-3773(20011105)40:21<4007::AID-ANIE4007>3.0.CO;2-F.

How do retaining glycosyltransferases function? To answer this question, UDP-Gal and galactose were covalently linked to form disubstrate analogues 1, of which surprisingly 1β and not 1α inhibited α(1-3)-galactosyltransferases very well. An understanding of this inhibition is a key...

Glycosylation of arabinogalactan-proteins essential for development in Arabidopsis.

Communicative & integrative biology

Showalter AM, Basu D.
PMID: 27489583
Commun Integr Biol. 2016 May 05;9(3):e1177687. doi: 10.1080/19420889.2016.1177687. eCollection 2016.

Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are ubiquitous cell wall components present throughout the plant kingdom. They are extensively post translationally modified by conversion of proline to hydroxyproline (Hyp) and by addition of arabinogalactan (AG) polysaccharides to Hyp residues. Two small gene subfamilies...

A phylogenetic view and functional annotation of the animal β1,3-glycosyltransferases of the GT31 CAZy family.

Glycobiology

PMID: 32886776
Glycobiology. 2021 Apr 01;31(3):243-259. doi: 10.1093/glycob/cwaa086.

The formation of β1,3-linkages on animal glycoconjugates is catalyzed by a subset of β1,3-glycosyltransferases grouped in the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes family glycosyltransferase-31 (GT31). This family represents an extremely diverse set of β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases [B3GNTs and Fringe β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases], β1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (B3GALNTs), β1,3-galactosyltransferases [B3GALTs...

Functional characterization of hydroxyproline-O-galactosyltransferases for Arabidopsis arabinogalactan-protein synthesis.

BMC plant biology

Kaur D, Held MA, Smith MR, Showalter AM.
PMID: 34903166
BMC Plant Biol. 2021 Dec 13;21(1):590. doi: 10.1186/s12870-021-03362-2.

BACKGROUND: Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are structurally complex hydroxyproline-rich cell wall glycoproteins ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. AGPs biosynthesis involves a series of post-translational modifications including the addition of type II arabinogalactans to non-contiguous Hyp residues. To date, eight Hyp-galactosyltransferases (Hyp-GALTs;...

Free Fatty acids regulate two galactosyltransferases in chloroplast envelope membranes isolated from spinach leaves.

Plant Physiol. 1990 Oct;94(2):781-7. doi: 10.1104/pp.94.2.781.

Effects of MgCl(2) and free fatty acids (FFA) on galactolipid:galactolipid galactosyltransferase (GGGT) and UDP-galactose: 1,2-diacylglycerol galactosyltransferase (UDGT) in chloroplast envelope membranes isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves were examined. GGGT activity was sigmoidally stimulated by MgCl(2) with a...

Int J Dev Neurosci. 1985;3(2):105-10. doi: 10.1016/0736-5748(85)90001-2.

Enzymatic activity of seven glycoprotein and glycolipid glycosyltransferases was studied in microsomal fractions during postnatal development of rat brain from 3 to 42 days after birth. Specific enzymatic variations were detected for some glycosyltransferases, i.d. a maxima was shown...

Front Plant Sci. 2018 Feb 08;9:126. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2018.00126. eCollection 2018.

A unique feature of chloroplasts is their high content of the galactolipids monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), which constitute up to 80% of their lipids. These galactolipids are synthesized in the chloroplast envelope membrane through the concerted action of...

Control of mannose/galactose ratio during galactomannan formation in developing legume seeds.

Galactomannan deposition was investigated in developing endosperms of three leguminous species representative of taxonomic groups which have galactomannans with high, medium and low galactose content. These were fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.; mannose/galactose (Man/Gal) = 1.1), guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.)...
