Faithful genome duplication is essential for preserving the genetic stability of dividing cells. DNA replication is carried out during the S phase by a dynamic complex of proteins termed the replisome. At the heart of the replisome is the CDC45-MCM2-7-GINS (CMG) helicase, which separates the two strands of the DNA double helix such that DNA polymerases can copy each strand.

It has been demonstrated that NSTs may form complexes with functionally related glycosyltransferases, especially in the N-glycosylation pathway. However, potential interactions of NSTs with enzymes mediating the biosynthesis of mucin-type O-glycans have not been addressed to date.
