Published: March 2016

The biotechnological relevance of protein glycosylation has exponentially grown in recent years. With the advances in protein glycosylation research, new possibilities for glyco-engineering have arisen, and a wide array of glycans can be designed and potentially transferred to target proteins in the biotechnologically relevant host Escherichia coli. Here we provide insight on how to select the best strains and plasmids. We also describe methods for determination of glycan expression and assembly, protein glycosylation using western blot, and preparation of samples for mass spectrometry.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a complex neurological disorder characterized by the sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to severe and often irreversible damage. Despite advances in stroke management, the underlying molecular mechanisms and key factors involved in the development and progression of IS remain elusive. In recent years, the integration of high-throughput data analysis techniques has emerged as a powerful approach to unraveling the molecular intricacies of complex diseases.

Interorgan lipid transport is crucial for organism development and the maintenance of physiological function. Here, we demonstrate that long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (dAcsl), which catalyzes the conversion of fatty acids into acyl-coenzyme As (acyl-CoAs), plays a critical role in regulating systemic lipid homeostasis. dAcsl deficiency in the fat body led to the ectopic accumulation of neutral lipids in the gut, along with significantly reduced lipoprotein contents in both the fat body and hemolymph.

Asia-Pacific Glycomics Reference Site, Daejeon, Korea.

With the increasing FDA approvals of glycoprotein-based biotherapeutics including monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and enzyme treatments, the significance of glycosylation in modulating drug efficacy and safety becomes central. This review highlights the crucial role of mass spectrometry (MS) in elucidating the glycome of biotherapeutics that feature N- and O-glycosylation, directly addressing the challenges posed by glycosylation complexity and heterogeneity. We have detailed the advancements and application of MS technologies including MALDI-TOF MS, LC-MS, and tandem MS in the precise characterization of glycoprotein therapeutics.

Aberrant glycosylation has been implicated in promoting the progression and metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the contribution of different glycosylation-related genes in PDAC remains to be clarified. In this study, we performed a differential analysis of RNA-Seq data from TCGA and GTEx and found GALNT5 as the most significant upregulated glycosylation-related gene in PDAC.
