Background: N-Glycan branching modulates the diversity of protein functions. β1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnT-III or MGAT3) produces a unique GlcNAc branch, "bisecting GlcNAc", in N-glycans, and is involved in Alzheimer's disease and cancer. However, the 3D structure and catalytic mechanism of GnT-III are unclear.

Background: N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase-III (GnT-III, also designated MGAT3) catalyzes the formation of a specific N-glycan branch, bisecting GlcNAc, in the Golgi apparatus. Bisecting GlcNAc is a key residue that suppresses N-glycan maturation and is associated with the pathogenesis of cancer and Alzheimer's disease. However, it remains unclear how GnT-III recognizes its substrates and how GnT-III activity is regulated in cells.

Prochloraz has been used to control Fusarium fujikuroi, the causative pathogen of rice bakanae disease. Linkage analysis of FfCYP51 genes in the progenies obtained from crossing prochloraz moderately resistant and sensitive strains suggested that the FfCYP51B gene is involved in prochloraz resistance. Sequence comparison revealed that the prochloraz-resistant strain had an F511S or S312T/F511S substitution in FfCYP51B compared with the sensitive strains.
