94 results about "Galactosyltransferase" patented technology

Galactosyltransferase is a type of glycosyltransferase which catalyzes the transfer of galactose. An example is B-N-acetylglucosaminyl-glycopeptide b-1,4-galactosyltransferase. The biosynthesis of disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides involves the action of hundreds of different glycosyltransferases. These enzymes catalyse the transfer of sugar moieties from activated donor molecules to specific acceptor molecules, forming glycosidic bonds. A classification of glycosyltransferases using nucleotide diphospho-sugar, nucleotide monophospho-sugar and sugar phosphates (EC 2.4.1.-) and related proteins into distinct sequence based families has been described. This classification is available on the CAZy (Carbohydrate-Active EnZymes) web site. The same three-dimensional fold is expected to occur within each of the families. Because 3-D structures are better conserved than sequences, several of the families defined on the basis of sequence similarities may have similar 3-D structures and therefore form 'clans'.

Method and compositions for the detection of protein glycosylation

The invention provides methods and compositions for the rapid and sensitive detection of post-translationally modified proteins, and particularly of those with post-translational glycosylations. The methods can be used to detect O-GlcNAc posttranslational modifications on proteins on which such modifications were undetectable using other techniques. In one embodiment, the method exploits the ability of an engineered mutant of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase to selectively transfer an unnatural ketone functionality onto O-GlcNAc glycosylated proteins. Once transferred, the ketone moiety serves as a versatile handle for the attachment of biotin, thereby enabling detection of the modified protein. The approach permits the rapid visualization of proteins that are at the limits of detection using traditional methods. Further, the preferred embodiments can be used for detection of certain disease states, such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Method for modifying flavonoid glycoside compounds with galactosy transferase

The invention discloses a method for modifying flavonoid glycoside compounds with galactosy transferase. The flavonoid glycoside compounds are ubiquitous secondary metabolites in the nature and one of main active ingredients of medicinal plant, and have physiological activities of antibacterium, cancer resistance, antioxidation and the like. However, natural flavonoid glycoside compounds frequently have the defects of poor water solubility, poor drug effect and the like. The method solves the defects of relatively low solubility of the natural flavonoid glycoside compounds and takes the natural flavonoid glycoside compounds as a forerunner to improve the water solubility thereof by a glycosylation reaction, thereby improving the bioavailability thereof. The technical essential of the method is as follows: an enzymatic reaction is applied to the synthesis of polyglycoside of flavonoid compounds. Compared with chemical synthesis methods, the method has higher synthesis efficiency and lower cost. After glycosylation modification, part of drugs can improve drug effect and reduce toxic side effect; therefore, the method provides a new approach for the development of new drugs of the flavonoid compounds.

Tumor lesion regression and conversion in situ into autologous tumor vaccines by compositions that result in anti-Gal Antibody Binding

The present invention discloses that an intratumoral injection of: i) glycolipids with α-gal epitope; ii) gene vectors comprising an α1,3galactosyltransferase gene; or iii) a mixture of α1,3galactosyltransferase, neuraminidase, and uridine diphosphate galactose results in tumor regression and / or destruction. Binding of the natural anti-Gal antibody to de novo expressed tumoral α-gal epitopes induces inflammation resulting in an anti-Gal antibody mediated opsonization of tumor cells and their uptake by antigen presenting cells. These antigen presenting cells migrate to draining lymph nodes and activate tumor specific T cells thereby converting the treated tumor lesions into in situ autologous tumor vaccines. This therapy can be applied to patients with multiple lesions and in neo-adjuvant therapy to patients before tumor resection. In addition to the regression and / or destruction of the treated tumor, such a vaccine will help in the immune mediated destruction of micrometastases that are not detectable during the removal of the treated tumor.

Antitumor vaccination using allogeneic tumor cells expressing alpha (1,3)-galactosyltransferase

The invention relates to methods and compositions for causing the selective targeting and killing of tumor cells. Through ex vivo gene therapy protocols tumor cells are engineered to express an α (1,3) galactosyl epitope. The cells are then irradiated or otherwise killed and administered to a patient. The α galactosyl epitope causes opsonization of the tumor cell enhancing uptake of the opsonized tumor cell by antigen presenting cells which results in enhanced tumor specific antigen presentation. The animal's immune system thus is stimulated to produce tumor specific cytotoxic cells and antibodies which will attack and kill tumor cells present in the animal.
