1. Proteomic analisys of bovine yolk sac / Análise proteômica do saco vitelino de bovinos
The yolk sac plays an important role in embryonic development of all mammals. Its function is being studied, proving to be one of the initials of haematopoiesis. In the period when the placenta is not real yet formed during embryonic development, the yolk sac is the main source of nutrition of the embryo, providing a place for the transfer and synthesis of p

2. Caracterização funcional de uma xiloglucano galactosiltransferase de Eucalyptus grandis e uma ramnose sintase de Arabidopsis thaliana: Efeitos sobre a estrutura e composição da parede celular primária / Functional characterization of a xyloglucan galactosyltransferase of Eucalyptus grandis and a rhamnose synthase of Arabidopsis thaliana: Effects upon the structure and composition of the primary cell wall
The plant cell wall has been associated with several important biological functions. It surrounds the plant, protecting it against mechanical injuries, biotic and abiotic stresses. In addition, plant cell walls determine cell shape and growth rates. The main constituents of plant cell walls are: cellulose, hemicellulose, pectine, lignin and proteins, which v

3. Galactosyltransferase and Concanavalin A Agglutination of Cells
A correlation has been observed between concanavalin A agglutination of various cell types and the presence of surface membrane galactosyltransferase (1-O-α-D-Galactosyl-myo-inositol:raffinose galactosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.67) activity. Moreover, a reduction to less than 50% of cell surface galactosyltransferase activity occurred after treatment with conc

4. Cell-surface glycosyltransferases in cultured fibroblasts: increased activity and release during serum stimulation of growth.
Cell-surface galactosyltransferase was studied in suspensions of intact baby hamster kidney fibroblasts with both endogenous and exogenous glycoprotein acceptors. The cell-surface location of galactosyltransferase was demonstrated in experiments with the enzyme modifier alpha-lactalbumin, which does not enter the cell. The addition of alpha-lactalbumin to th

5. Association of the Golgi UDP-Galactose Transporter with UDP-Galactose:Ceramide Galactosyltransferase Allows UDP-Galactose Import in the Endoplasmic Reticulum
UDP-galactose reaches the Golgi lumen through the UDP-galactose transporter (UGT) and is used for the galactosylation of proteins and lipids. Ceramides and diglycerides are galactosylated within the endoplasmic reticulum by the UDP-galactose:ceramide galactosyltransferase. It is not known how UDP-galactose is transported from the cytosol into the endopla

6. Several Galactosyltransferase Activities Are Associated with Mouse Chromosome 17
Indirect evidence suggests that some major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins are glycosyltransferases. No sequence or mapping information is available for transferases, although ganglioside variations in mice are linked to the H-2 complex on chromosome 17, and one galactosyltransferase activity on mouse sperm varies with T/t complex genotypes, also o

7. Cancer-associated isoenzyme of serum galactosyltransferase.
Galactosyltransferase activity was assayed in sera from 58 patients with various types of cancer. On discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis a slow-moving peak of galactosyltransferase activity (isoenzyme II) was found to be present in the serum of 43 of these patients in addition to the major isoenzyme I. Isoenzyme II was found in only 2 of 39 pati

8. Cell Surface Galactosyltransferase and Lectin Agglutination of Thymus and Spleen Lymphocytes
Lectin agglutination and cell surface galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.67; 1-O-α-D-galactosyl-myo-inositol:raffinose galactosyltransferase) enzyme activity have been studied with thymus and spleen lymphocytes of neonatal rats. Thymus lymphocytes were more agglutinable by concanavalin A than by wheat germ agglutinin, whereas spleen lymphocytes were more agglu

9. Glycosyltransferases in human blood: II. Study of serum galactosyltransferase and N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase in patients with liver diseases
Serum galactosyltransferase activity was found to be elevated in patients with alcoholic and other liver disorders but remained at a normal level in patients with a variety of nonhepatic diseases. The properties of the galactosyltransferase in patients with liver disease were compared with those of the enzyme in the serum of normal subjects. The possible pre

10. Localization of an alpha 1,2 galactosyltransferase activity to the Golgi apparatus of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
We have cloned a gene encoding an alpha 1,2 galactosyltransferase activity from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The open reading frame of the gene (gma12 for galactomannan, alpha 1,2), combined with the previous protein purification (Chappell and Warren, 1989), predicts an O-linked glycoprotein with type II transmembrane topology. By homologous gene disruption, w

11. Transfer Specificity of Detergent-Solubilized Fenugreek Galactomannan Galactosyltransferase
The current experimental model for galactomannan biosynthesis in membrane-bound enzyme systems from developing legume-seed endosperms involves functional interaction between a GDP-mannose (Man) mannan synthase and a UDP-galactose (Gal) galactosyltransferase. The transfer specificity of the galactosyltransferase to the elongating mannan chain is critical in r

12. Synthesis of Mono- and Digalactosyldiacylglycerol in Isolated Spinach Chloroplasts 1
Purified, intact chloroplasts of Spinacia oleracea L. synthesize galactose-labeled mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG) from UDP-[U-14C]galactose. In the presence of high concentrations of unchelated divalent cations they also synthesize tri- and tetra-galactosyldiacylglycerol. The acyl chains of galactose-labeled MGDG are strongly desaturate
