Název v původním jazyce

Theoretical QM/MM Study of the inverting ppGalNAcT2 Glycosyltransferase Reaction Mechanism

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Protein glycosylation is thought to be main means of cell recognition. Misregulation of the cascade of glycosyltransferases is related to many diseases with the most prominent example being cancer. There is thus significant scientific interest in the reaction mechanisms of glycosyltransferases because knowledge of transition state structures would enable targeted design of selective inhibitors usable as potential drugs. A retaining glycosyltransferase ? polypeptide UDP-GalNAc transferase (ppGalNAcT) catalyses the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine moiety onto protein serine or threonine hydroxyls, forming the first bond of the so-called O-linked glycosylation pathway. Increased activity of this enzyme has been found to enable metastasis of breast and colorectal cancer.
