| T1 |
0-148 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel chondroitin sulfate glucuronyltransferase that transfers glucuronic acid to N-acetylgalactosamine. |
| T2 |
149-294 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We found a novel human gene (GenBank accession number, Kazusa DNA Research Institute KIAA1402) that possesses homology with chondroitin synthase. |
| T3 |
295-405 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The full-length open reading frame consists of 772 amino acids and encodes a typical type II membrane protein. |
| T4 |
406-632 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This enzyme had a domain containing beta 3-glycosyltransferase motifs, which might be a beta3-glucuronyltransferase domain, but no domain with beta 4-glycosyltransferase motifs, although both are found in chondroitin synthase. |
| T5 |
633-712 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The putative catalytic domain was expressed in COS-7 cells as a soluble enzyme. |
| T6 |
713-872 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Its glucuronyltransferase activity was observed when chondroitin and chondroitin sulfate polysaccharides and oligosaccharides were used as acceptor substrates. |
| T7 |
873-1072 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, it was not detected when dermatan sulfate, hyaluronan, heparan sulfate, heparin, N-acetylheparosan, lactosamine tetrasaccharide, and linkage tri- and tetrasaccharide acceptors were employed. |
| T8 |
1073-1234 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The reaction product, which was speculated to exhibit a GlcA beta 1-3GalNAc linkage structure at its non-reducing terminus, showed the following characteristics. |
| T9 |
1235-1279 |

| T13 |
1558-1770 |
Sentence |
denotes |

| T14 |
1771-1868 |
Sentence |
denotes |
