<i>B4GALT5</i> -deficient CHO-Lec2 cells expressing human α1,4-galactosyltransferase: a glycoengineered cell model for studying Shiga toxin receptors
2024-10-26
Abstract excerpt
Human α1,4-galactosyltransferase (A4galt) is a glycosyltransferase existing in humans as two isoforms, widespread A4galt (named A4G) and its rare variant with p.Q211E substitution (A4Gmut). Both isoforms produce Gb3 (Galα1→4Galβ1→4Glc-Cer) on glycosphingolipids and P1 glycotope (Galα1→4Galβ1→4GlcNAc-R) on glycoproteins, which serve as receptors for Shiga toxin types 1 and 2 (Stx1 and Stx2). Stx1 is bound by Gb3 an...
