Some glycosyltransferase inhibitors are of use as drugs or antibiotics. Moenomycin is used in animal feed as a growth promoter. Caspofungin has been developed from the echinocandins and is in use as an antifungal agent. Ethambutol is an inhibitor of mycobacterial arabinotransferases and is used for the treatment of tuberculosis.
N-glycosyltransferase is an enzyme in prokaryotes which transfers individual hexoses onto asparagine sidechains in substrate proteins, using a nucleotide-bound intermediary, within the cytoplasm. They are distinct from regular N -glycosylating enzymes , which are oligosaccharyltransferases that transfer pre-assembled oligosaccharides .
Glucosyltransferases are a type of glycosyltransferase that enable the transfer of glucose. [1] Examples include: glycogen synthase; glycogen phosphorylase; They are categorized under EC number 2.4.1.
Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, UGT) is a microsomal glycosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) that catalyzes the transfer of the glucuronic acid component of UDP-glucuronic acid to a small hydrophobic molecule. This is a glucuronidation reaction. [2] [3] Alternative names:
Eating more fiber, which is found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits, might help protect against dangerous bacteria in the gut.. After analyzing samples from the gut microbiomes of more than ...
Glycosyltransferase is a subcategory of EC 2.4 transferases that is involved in biosynthesis of disaccharides and polysaccharides through transfer of monosaccharides to other molecules. [40] An example of a prominent glycosyltransferase is lactose synthase which is a dimer possessing two protein subunits .
According to the CDC, "Group A strep bacteria can cause many different types of infections that range from minor to serious. The bacteria can also cause inflammatory diseases." The bacteria can ...
Certain gut bacteria may increase the risk that a person will binge eat and become obese, a new study suggests. In a series of experiments, mice and humans with a propensity for binge eating had ...
