Disease relevance of Udp galactose

  • A large-scale production system of uridine 5'-diphospho-galactose (UDP-Gal) has been established by the combination of recombinant Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium ammoniagenes [1].
  • When E. coli cells that expressed the alpha1,4-galactosyltransferase gene of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were coupled with this UDP-Gal production system, 372 mM (188 g/L) globotriose (Galalpha1-4Galbeta1-4Glc), a trisaccharide portion of verotoxin receptor, was produced after a 36 h reaction starting with orotic acid, galactose, and lactose [1].
  • Epimerase-deficiency galactosemia results from the impairment of UDP-galactose 4'-epimerase (GALE), the third enzyme in the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism [2].
  • The amount of mRNA for UDP-Gal transporter was significantly increased in colon cancer tissues compared with nonmalignant mucosa tissues (P = 0.035; n = 20) [3].
  • The increase was more prominent in patients with advanced colorectal cancer of Dukes' stages C and D, in which the amount of UDP-Gal transporter mRNA in cancer tissues showed on average about a 3.6-fold increase over the paired nonmalignant mucosa (statistically significant at P = 0.004; n = 14) [3].
 

High impact information on Udp galactose

  • Reversible defects in O-linked glycosylation and LDL receptor expression in a UDP-Gal/UDP-GalNAc 4-epimerase deficient mutant [4].
  • Purified galactosyltransferase and components F-1 and F-2 all catalyzed the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to alkali-stable beta-N-glycosidic acceptors, as well as to alkali-labile beta-O-glycosidic mucin-type acceptors [5].
  • The core 1 beta1-3-galactosyltransferase (T-synthase) transfers Gal from UDP-Gal to GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr (Tn antigen) to form the core 1 O-glycan Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr (T antigen) [6].
  • Acceptor Golgi apparatus was prepared from another mutant, Lec8, which is defective in UDP-Gal transport [7].
  • Conversely, neurite outgrowth was enhanced by the addition of UDP-galactose, which completes the GalTase enzymatic reaction, while inappropriate sugar nucleotides had no effect [8].
