Sentence |
denotes |
Molecular cloning and expression of a novel beta-1, 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that forms core 2, core 4, and I branches. |
| T2 |
129-200 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mucin-type O-glycans are classified according to their core structures. |
| T3 |
201-362 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Among them, cores 2 and 4 are important for having N-acetyllactosamine side chains, which can be further modified to express various functional oligosaccharides. |
| T4 |
363-625 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Previously, we discovered by cloning cDNAs that the core 2 branching enzyme, termed core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-leukocyte type (C2GnT-L), is highly homologous to the I branching beta-1, 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (IGnT) (Bierhuizen, M. |

7, 468-478). |
| T8 |
694-839 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Using these homologous sequences as probes, we identified an expressed sequence tag in dbEST, which has significant homology to C2GnT-L and IGnT. |
| T9 |
840-1020 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This approach, together with 5'and 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends, yielded a human cDNA that encompasses a whole coding region of an enzyme, termed C2GnT-mucin type (C2GnT-M). |
| T10 |
1021-1104 |
Sentence |
denotes |
C2GnT-M has 48.2 and 33.8% identity with C2GnT-L and IGnT at the amino acid levels. |
| T11 |
1105-1230 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The expression of C2GnT-M cDNA directed the expression of core 2 branched oligosaccharides and I antigen on the cell surface. |
| T12 |
1231-1347 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Moreover, a soluble chimeric C2GnT-M had core 4 branching activity in addition to core 2 and I branching activities. |
| T13 |
1348-1443 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A soluble chimeric C2GnT-L, in contrast, almost exclusively contains core 2 branching activity. |
| T14 |
1444-1604 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the C2GnT-M transcripts are heavily expressed in colon, small intestine, trachea, and stomach, where mucin is produced. |
| T15 |
1605-1713 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In contrast, the transcripts of C2GnT-L were more widely detected, including the lymph node and bone marrow. |
| T16 |
1714-1921 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results indicate that the newly cloned C2GnT-M plays a critical role in O-glycan synthesis in mucins and might have distinctly different roles in oligosaccharide ligand formation compared with C2GnT-L. |
