Simultaneous determination of nucleotide sugars with ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC

TL;DR: A conventional HPLC method for simultaneous determination of nucleotide sugars was applied to characterize nucleotide sugar levels in breast and pancreatic cancer cell lines and revealed that the abundance of UDP-GlcNAc, UDP-GalNAc , UDP-glcUA and GDP-Fuc were a cell-type-specific feature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucocerebrosidase deficiency accelerates the accumulation of proteinase K-resistant α-synuclein and aggravates neurodegeneration in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the functional loss of GCase or β-Gal promotes the toxic conversion of αSyn via aberrant interactions between αSyn and their substrate glycolipids, leading to the aggravation of α synuclein-mediated neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxic regulation of glycosylation via the N-acetylglucosamine cycle.

TL;DR: Current thinking of how hypoxia alters glucose metabolic fluxes that can modulate cellular glycosylation patterns and consequently modify cellular functions is discussed, particularly from the standpoint of the N-acetylglucosamine cycle, a part of the ”Glycan cycle”.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new fungal lectin recognizing α(1-6)-linked fucose in the N-glycan

TL;DR: Capillary affinity electrophoresis studies indicated that RSL binds strongly to N-glycans with α(1–6)-linked fucose residues, which could make RSL a valuable tool for glycobiological studies.
