Abstract excerpt
The matricellular protein CCN1, also known as Cyr61, is a secreted ligand and has numerous functions. Human CCN1 contains one predicted O-fucosylation site in the thrombospondin type-1 repeat (TSR1) domain at Thr(242). In this report, we demonstrated that CCN1 is O-fucosylated at Thr(242) using mass spectrometry. Deficiency of O-fucosylation resulted in the decrement of the cell surface localization and the...
