Abstract excerpt
The beta1,3-glucuronosyltransferases are responsible for the completion of the protein-glycosaminoglycan linkage region of proteoglycans and of the HNK1 epitope of glycoproteins and glycolipids by transferring glucuronic acid from UDP-alpha-D-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) onto a terminal galactose residue. Here, we develop phylogenetic and mutational approaches to identify critical residues involved in UDP-GlcA...
