Abstract excerpt

The post-translational modification of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) by polysialic acid (polySia) represents a remarkable example of dynamic modulation of homo- and heterophilic cell interactions by glycosylation. The synthesis of this unique carbohydrate polymer depends on the polysialyltransferases ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV. Aiming to understand in more detail the contributions of ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV...
