Abstract excerpt
All mammalian alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferases (Fuc-Ts) so far characterized have potential N-glycosylation sites, but the role of these sites in enzymatic activity or localization has not been investigated. When one member of this family, rFuc-TIV, is expressed in bacteria, the unglycosylated form of rFuc-TIV has no detectable enzymatic activity. The two potential N-glycosylation sites of rFuc-TIV were mutated to...
