Molecular Cloning and Expression of a Novel β-1,6-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase That Forms Core 2, Core 4, and I Branches*
Mucin-type O-glycans are classified according to their core structures. Among them, cores 2 and 4 are important for having N-acetyllactosamine side chains, which can be further modified to express… Expand

Core 2 O-glycan branching catalyzed by UDP-N-acetyl-α-d-glucosamine: acceptor β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (β6GlcNAc-Ts) is an important step in mucin-type biosynthesis. Core 2 complex-type… Expand
A short, novel promoter sequence confers the expression of human leukosialin, a major sialoglycoprotein on leukocytes.
Human leukosialin (CD43) is a major sialoglycoprotein expressed on leukocytes and platelets. In order to investigate the transcriptional regulation of this gene, we have isolated a genomic DNA of 12… Expand
Transcriptional activation of human leukosialin (CD43) gene by Sp1 through binding to a GGGTGG motif.
Human leukosialin (CD43) is expressed on the surface of hematopoietic cells in cell-type specific and differentiation-stage-specific manners. Previously we found that the sequence from -53 to -40 was… Expand
Molecular Cloning and Expression of a Novel Humantrans-Golgi Network Glycoprotein, TGN51, That Contains Multiple Tyrosine-containing Motifs*

- 9 January 1998
Previously, it has been shown that glycoproteins with ∼130-kDa molecular mass react with antisera from patients with renal vasculitis (Kain, R., Matsui, K., Exner, M., Binder, S., Schaffner, G.,… Expand
Transcriptional Properties of Mammalian Elongin A and Its Role in Stress Response*

Background: Transcriptional elongation is a rate-limiting step in activation of stress response genes. Results: Optimal expression of stress response regulator ATF3 requires the elongation activity… Expand
Structural organization of glycophorin A and B genes: glycophorin B gene evolved by homologous recombination at Alu repeat sequences.
Glycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB) are two major sialoglycoproteins of the human erythrocyte membrane. Here we present a comparison of the genomic structures of GPA and GPB developed by analyzing DNA… Expand
Expression of a Specific Glycosyltransferase Enzyme Regulates T Cell Death Mediated by Galectin-1*

- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 2 June 2000
Galectin-1 induces apoptosis of immature thymocytes and activated T cells, suggesting that galectin-1 regulates cell death in the thymus during selection and in the periphery following an immune… Expand
Tissue-specific Transcriptional Regulation of Human Leukosialin (CD43) Gene Is Achieved by DNA Methylation (*)
The expression of human leukosialin (CD43), a major sialoglycoprotein on the surface of hematopoietic cells, is regulated in cell lineage-specific as well as differentiation stage-specific manners.… Expand
