    Structures and mechanisms of glycosyltransferases

  • Original language description

    Glycosyltransferases catalyze the transfer of a sugar moiety from an activated donor sugar onto saccharide and non-saccharide acceptors. A sequence-based classification spreads glycosyltransferases in a large number of families thus reflecting the variety of molecules that can be used as acceptors. In contrast, this enzyme family is characterized by a more conserved 3D architecture. Until recently, only two different folds (GT-A and GT-B) have been identified for solved crystal structures. The recent report of a structure for a bacterial sialyltransferase allows the defination of a new fold family. Progress in the elucidation of the structures and mechanisms of glycosyltransferases are discussed in this review. To accomodate the growing number of crystal structures, the 3D-glycosyltransferase database has been created to gather structural information concerning this class of enzymes.

    Struktura a mechanismus glykosyltransferas

  • Czech description

    Glykosyltransferasy katalyzují přenos sacharidové jednotky z aktivovaného sacharidu-donoru na sacharidy i nesacharidové akceptory. Podle klasifikace založené na sekvenční podobnosti se glykosyltransferasy dělí na velké množství rodin, což odráží různorodost molekul, které mohou být využity jako akceptory. Glykosyltransferasy lze však též charakterizovat podle 3D struktury, která je více konzervovaná. Dosud byly u vyřešených krystalových struktur známy pouze dva strukturní foldy (GT-A a GT-B). Nedávná studie bakteriální sialyltransferasy však ukázala, že se vyskytuje i třetí typ struktury. V tomto review jsou shrnuty pokroky v objasňování struktury a mechanismu glykosyltransferas. Byla také vytvořena databáze známých 3D struktur, jejichž počet neustáleroste.
