Abstract excerpt
The sialyltranferase ST3Gal-V transfers a sialic acid to lactosylceramide. We investigated the role of each of the N-glycans modifying mouse ST3Gal-V (mST3Gal-V) by measuring the in vitro enzyme activity of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with ST3Gal-V cDNA or its mutants. By examining mutants of mST3Gal-V, in which each asparagine was replaced with glutamine (N180Q, N224Q, N334Q), we determined...
