Disease relevance of GAL3ST2

 

High impact information on GAL3ST2

  • Mg(2+), Mn(2+), and Ca(2+) stimulated the activities of Gal3ST-2, whereas only Mg(2+) augmented Gal3ST-3 activity [3].
  • Kinetics studies suggested that GP3ST is able to act on both type 1 (Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc-R) and type 2 (Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc-R) chains with a similar efficiency [4].
  • Therefore, the substrate specificity was different from that of GP3ST [5].
  • The amino acid sequence showed 33% identity with that of human CST and 38% with that of human GP3ST [5].
  • The 3'-sulfolacto-N-fucopentaose III (sulfo-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc)-PA was then synthesized from lacto-N-neotetraose (Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc)-PA by GP3ST and FucT-III, -IV, -V, -VI, -VII, or -IX in a similar manner [6].

Associations of GAL3ST2 with chemical compounds

  • Moreover, Gal3ST-3 but not Gal3ST-2 can act on Galbeta1-->4(sulfo-->6)GlcNAc, indicating that disulfated sulfo-->3Galbeta1-->4(sulfo-->6) GlcNAc-->R may be formed by Gal3ST-3 in combination with GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase [7].
  • Membrane-bound beta-Gal-3'-sulfotransferase (GP3ST) was expressed and used for in vitro sulfation of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein [8].
  • Further, the regioselective transfer of sulfate to an N-acetyllactosamine derivative could be realised with soluble chimeric GP3ST, also in combination with Lac transglycosylation by means of beta-galactosidase [8].
