In this respect, it regulates pivotal cell surface events, including trans-membrane signaling, and plays an essential role in carcinogenesis. In this report, we demonstrated that acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblasts (primary cells from patients and cell lines) are characterized by a marked down-regulation of Neu3 in terms of both gene expression (230 to 40%) and enzymatic activity toward ganglioside GD1a (225.6 to 30.6%), when compared with cells from healthy controls. Induced overexpression of Neu3 in the ALL-cell line, MOLT-4, led to a significant increase of ceramide (166%) and to a parallel decrease of lactosylceramide (255%). These events strongly guided lymphoblasts to apoptosis, as we assessed by the decrease in Bcl2/ Bax ratio, the accumulation of Neu3 transfected cells in the sub G0–G1 phase of the cell cycle, the enhanced annexin-V positivity, the higher cleavage of procaspase-3.

Weimer1 Complex glycans cover the gut epithelial surface to protect the cell from the environment. Invasive pathogens must breach the glycan layer before initiating infection. While glycan degradation is crucial for infection, this process is inadequately understood. Salmonella contains 47 glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) that may degrade the glycan. We hypothesized that keystone genes from the entire GH complement of Salmonella are required to degrade glycans to change infection. This study determined that GHs recognize the terminal monosaccharides (N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), galactose, mannose, and fucose) and significantly (p < 0.05) alter infection. During infection, Salmonella used its two GHs sialidase nanH and amylase malS for internalization by targeting different glycan structures. The host glycans were altered during Salmonella association via the induction of N-glycan biosynthesis pathways leading to modification of host glycans by increasing fucosylation and mannose content, while decreasing sialylation.

Abstract: Altered sialylation patterns play a role in chronic autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent studies have shown the pro-inflammatory activities of immunoglobulins (Igs) with desialylated sugar moieties. The role of neuraminidases (NEUs), enzymes which are responsible for the cleavage of terminal sialic acids (SA) from sialoglycoconjugates, is not fully understood in RA. We investigated the impact of zanamivir, an inhibitor of the influenza virus neuraminidase, and mammalian NEU2/3 on clinical outcomes in experimental arthritides studies. The severity of arthritis was monitored and IgG titers were measured by ELISA. (2,6)-linked SA was determined on IgG by ELISA and on cell surfaces by flow cytometry.

  • RT² Profiler PCR Array (Rotor-Gene® Format) Human Glycosylation
    RT² Profiler PCR Array (Rotor-Gene® Format) Human Glycosylation Cat. no. 330231 PAHS-046ZR For pathway expression analysis Format For use with the following real-time cyclers RT² Profiler PCR Array, Rotor-Gene Q, other Rotor-Gene cyclers Format R Description The Human Glycosylation RT² Profiler PCR Array profiles the expression of 84 key genes encoding enzymes that post-translationally add and remove sugar residues to and from proteoglycans and glycoproteins. The process of generating and altering mature N-linked and O-linked glycans essential for proteoglycan and glycoprotein function requires not only glycosyltransferase activity for de novo oligosaccharide synthesis, but also both glycosidase and glycosyltransferase activity for remodeling. Increased expression of cell surface and secreted proteins, whether by stimulation of cells to differentiate or proliferate or by exogenous over-expression, requires more glycosyltransferase and glycosidase activity, contributed at least in part by their own increased gene expression. This array includes glycosyltransferase and glycosidase genes for several important sugars: galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, fucose, and sialic acid. Some of the represented enzymes also act on glycosphingolipids. Using real-time PCR, you can easily and reliably analyze the expression of a focused panel of genes involved in protein glycosylation with this array. For further details, consult the RT² Profiler PCR Array Handbook. Shipping and storage RT² Profiler PCR Arrays in the Rotor-Gene format are shipped at ambient temperature, on dry ice, or blue ice packs depending on destination and accompanying products. For long term storage, keep plates at –20°C. Note: Ensure that you have the correct RT² Profiler PCR Array format for your real-time cycler (see table above).

Kiessling on the receipt of the 2017 Tetrahedron Prize *Correspondence, Tel.: 780 492 0377; fax: 780 492 8231; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Inhibitors of viral neuraminidase enzymes have been previously developed as therapeutics. Humans can express multiple forms of neuraminidase enzymes (NEU1, NEU2, NEU3, NEU4) that share a similar active site and enzymatic mechanism with their viral counterparts. Using a panel of purified human neuraminidase enzymes, we tested the inhibitory activity of 2-deoxy-2,3- dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (DANA), zanamivir, oseltamivir, and peramivir against each of the human isoenzymes. We find that, with the exceptions of DANA and zanamivir, these compounds show generally poor activity against the human neuraminidase enzymes. To provide insight into the interactions of viral inhibitors with human neuraminidases, we conducted molecular dynamics simulations using homology models based on coordinates reported for NEU2. Simulations revealed that an organized water is displaced by zanamivir in binding to NEU2 and NEU3 and confirmed the critical importance of engaging the binding pocket of the C7–C9 glycerol sidechain.

Several reports have linked neuraminidase activity to the regulation of cell migration in cancer cells. Using an in vitro cell migration assay on fibronectin (FN) coated surfaces, we have investigated the role of these enzymes in integrin-mediated cell migration. We observed that neuraminidase inhibition caused significant retardation of cell migration in breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and prostate cancer (PC-3) cell lines when using inhibitors of NEU3 and NEU4. In contrast, inhibition of NEU1 caused a significant increase in cell migration for these same cell lines. We concluded that blockade of human neuraminidase enzymes with isoenzyme-selective inhibitors can lead to disparate results and has significant potential in the development of anti-cancer or wound healing therapeutics. 2 1. Introduction Human neuraminidase enzymes (hNEU) are glycoside hydrolases which release sialic acids from glycolipid and glycoprotein substrates.1 Currently, hNEU isoenzymes that have been identified include NEU1,2 NEU2,3 NEU3,4 and NEU4.5 Though the

  • The Relationship Between Long-Range Chromatin Occupancy and Polymerization of the Drosophila ETS Family Transcriptional Repressor Yan
    INVESTIGATION The Relationship Between Long-Range Chromatin Occupancy and Polymerization of the Drosophila ETS Family Transcriptional Repressor Yan Jemma L. Webber,*,1 Jie Zhang,*,†,1 Lauren Cote,* Pavithra Vivekanand,*,2 Xiaochun Ni,‡,§ Jie Zhou,§ Nicolas Nègre,**,3 Richard W. Carthew,†† Kevin P. White,‡,§,** and Ilaria Rebay*,†,4 *Ben May Department for Cancer Research, †Committee on Cancer Biology, ‡Department of Ecology and Evolution, §Department of Human Genetics, and **Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, and ††Department of Molecular Biosciences, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208 ABSTRACT ETS family transcription factors are evolutionarily conserved downstream effectors of Ras/MAPK signaling with critical roles in development and cancer. In Drosophila, the ETS repressor Yan regulates cell proliferation and differentiation in a variety of tissues; however, the mechanisms of Yan-mediated repression are not well understood and only a few direct target genes have been identified. Yan, like its human ortholog TEL1, self-associates through an N-terminal sterile a-motif (SAM), leading to speculation that Yan/TEL1 polymers may spread along chromatin to form large repressive domains. To test this hypothesis, we created a monomeric form of Yan by recombineering a point mutation that blocks SAM-mediated self-association into the yan genomic locus and compared its genome-wide chromatin occupancy profile to that of endogenous wild-type Yan. Consistent with the spreading model predictions, wild-type Yan-bound regions span multiple kilobases. Extended occupancy patterns appear most prominent at genes encoding crucial developmental regulators and signaling molecules and are highly conserved between Drosophila melanogaster and D. virilis, suggest- ing functional relevance.
