Abstract excerpt
LARGE is a putative glycosyltransferase found to be mutated in mice with myodystrophy or patients with congenital muscular dystrophy. By homology searches, we identified in the Dictyostelium discoideum genome four open reading frames, i.e. gnt12-15, encoding proteins with sequence similarity to LARGE. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed distinct temporal expression patterns of the four gnt genes throughout...
