Published: December 2003

A number of novel biotin phosphoramidites, possessing exceptionally long and uncharged tethering arms, were synthesized from methoxyoxalamido (MOX) and succinimido (SUC) precursors. Included among these monomers is a uridine derivative with the biotin moiety attached through the 2'-position. Some of these phosphoramidites were used to make 5'-biotinylated primers, which were applied in direct sequencing of genomic DNA and capture of Sanger fragment pools.

Pantothenate (Pan), or vitamin B5, is essential for the synthesis of co-enzyme A (CoA), acetyl-CoA, and numerous downstream physiological processes. We previously demonstrated that Pan is not only essential for mosquito survival, but also for the development of malaria parasites within the mosquito, suggesting that targeting Pan and CoA biosynthesis may be a novel approach for malaria control. However, little is known about how Pan is acquired and mobilized within the mosquito.

Chemical modification of naturally derived glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) expands their potential utility for applications in soft tissue repair and regenerative medicine. Here we report the preparation of a novel crosslinked chondroitin sulfate (~200 to 2000 kilodaltons) that is both soluble in aqueous solution and microfilterable. We refer to these materials as "SuperGAGs.

Glycosylation plays a critical role in various biological processes, yet identifying specific glycosyltransferase substrates remains a challenge due to the complexity of glycosylation. Here, we employ proximity labeling with biotin ligases BASU and TurboID to map the proximitome of MGAT3, a glycosyltransferase responsible for the biosynthesis of the bisecting GlcNAc structure, in HEK293T cells. This approach enriched 116 and 189 proteins, respectively, identifying 17 common substrates shared with bisecting GlcNAc-bearing proteome obtained via intact glycopeptide enrichment methods.
