Abstract excerpt
The Notch receptor is critical for proper development where it orchestrates numerous cell fate decisions. The Fringe family of beta1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases are regulators of this pathway. Fringe enzymes add N-acetylglucosamine to O-linked fucose on the epidermal growth factor repeats of Notch. Here we have analyzed the reaction catalyzed by Lunatic Fringe (Lfng) in detail. A mutagenesis strategy for...
