Abstract excerpt
The polysialyltransferases ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4 and their product, polysialic acid (polySia), are known to be related to cancers and mental disorders. ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4 have conserved amino acid (AA) sequence motifs essential for the synthesis of the polySia structures on the neural cell adhesion molecule. To search for a new motif in the polysialyltransferases, we adopted the in silico Individual Meta Random...
