Disease relevance of FUT1

  • The results of RT-PCR using specific primers for each starting exon suggested that two transcription initiation sites (exon 1A and exon 2A) of the FUT1 were identified in gastric cancer cells and in ovarian cancer cells [1].
  • Two alpha1,2-fucosyltransferases, expressed in colorectal carcinomas, have been characterized (FUT1 and FUT2 in humans, FTA and FTB in rats) [2].
  • Direct sequencing of the two ORFs in swine being either susceptible or resistant to adhesion and colonization by F18 fimbriated Escherichia coli (ECF18) revealed two polymorphisms at bp 307 (M307) and bp 857 (M857) of the FUT1 ORF [3].
  • In the present study, we have investigated these transcription start sites of FUT1 in undifferentiated leukemic cells (K562) that have erythroid characteristics, in erythroleukemia cells (HEL), and in bone marrow cells [4].
  • The heat sensitivity was observed to increase in the FUT1 gene transfected cells and the effect of hyperthermia at 44 degrees C on these cells was demonstrated to be significant (P<0.001) to the wild type cells even though no remarkable difference in the expression of the heat shock protein, Hsp70 was found in these cells [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on FUT1

  • With this system, we found that de novo expression of the fucosyltransferase in mouse recipient cells was associated with the transfer and stable genomic integration of characteristic human DNA restriction fragments [6].
 

High impact information on FUT1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of FUT1

 

Biological context of FUT1

  • One cosmid has been isolated that contains two distinct segments that cross-hybridize with FUT1 [16].
  • STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The FUT1 gene of an Austrian proband with the Bombay phenotype was characterized by nucleotide sequencing of the full-length coding sequence [17].
  • CONCLUSION: The missense mutation S262K in the FUT1 gene caused the loss of H transferase activity [17].
  • Families segregating for deficiency of the H alpha-2-L-fucosyltransferase, FUT1, have been investigated for linkage between FUT1 and other markers on chromosome 19 [18].
  • Comparative DNA sequence analysis showed the Généthon microsatellite D19S596 lies 2.2 kb downstream of the coding region of FUT1, indicating that the cluster comprising the closely linked FUT1 and FUT2 genes is located 4 cM distal to D19S412 (lod score 13.7) and 9 cM proximal to D19S571 (lod score 11.7) [19].
 

Anatomical context of FUT1

  • Although FUT1 is expressed in the COS cell mRNA, it has not been possible to demonstrate alpha1,2-fucosyltransferase activity in cell extracts but the presence of Le(y) and blood-group A antigenic determinants on the cell surface imply the formation of H-precursor structures at some stage [20].
  • The alpha-2-fucosyltransferases: FUT1 (H) of red cells and vascular endothelium and FUT2 (Se) of exocrine secretions [21].
  • Fucosyltransferase activities in human pancreatic tissue: comparative study between cancer tissues and established tumoral cell lines [22].
  • A myeloid enzyme is present in 5 to 10 week old human embryos and is later progressively replaced by different patterns of adult fucosyltransferase enzymes in all tissues, except in leukocytes and brain which continue to express a FUT4 like enzyme in the adult.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[23]
  • The Fucalpha(1-->2)Galbeta epitope is absent from the uterine epithelia of FUT2 null mice and from the epithelia of the epididymis of FUT1 null mice [24].
 

Associations of FUT1 with chemical compounds

  • Two nucleotide changes, G785A and C786A, in codon 262 of the FUT1 gene resulted in the replacement of serine by lysine [17].
  • FUT1 and FUT2 encode the alpha(1,2)fucosyltransferases H and Se respectively [23].
  • Sequence analysis revealed that these genes, called FTA, FTB and FTC, were homologous to human FUT1, FUT2 and Sec1, respectively [25].
  • The degree of fucosylation of alpha1-acid glycoprotein was correlated with alpha3-fucosyltransferase activity (Rs = 0.82) [26].
  • This became evident from the 4-fold activity of alpha 1,2-L-FT toward bovine IgG glycopeptide after approximately 5% removal of alpha 1,6-linked Fuo [27].
