Interesting study @jbiolchem found differences in binding to gangliosides between human and mouse Siglecs. This should be taken into consideration when using mice as a model in neurodegenerative diseases, infections and cancer. tinyurl.com/yckb4mt2

Nicki Packer @profsugar gives the first plenary at #Glyco27 & starts with saying we should take a broader view - if you don’t look, you won’t see. E.g., use Coomassie and StainsAll, sulphated glycans not oxidised with periodate, GC-MS with carboxyl reduction … Technology bias …

Our collaborative paper showing that FUT10 and FUT11 are protein O-fucosyltransferases (POFUTs) modifying proteins with EMI domains is out in @nchembio. Great collaboration with Prof. Robert Haltiwanger’s lab @UGAResearch, @CPC_usyd, @syd_health, @ozglyco. nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

FUT10 and FUT11 are protein O-fucosyltransferases that modify protein EMI domains

Nature Chemical Biology - FUT10 and FUT11, originally annotated as α1,3-fucosyltransferases, are actually protein O-fucosyltransferases participating in a non-canonical ER quality control...
