Biosynthesis of GDP-fucose and other sugar nucleotides in the blood-stages of Plasmodium falciparum
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013-06-07)
Carbohydrate structures play important roles in many biological processes, including cell adhesion, cell-cell communication, and host-pathogen interactions. Sugar nucleotides are activated forms of sugars used by the cell ...
My journey in the discovery of nucleotide sugar transporters of the Golgi apparatus
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Inc., 2018-08)
Defects in protein glycosylation can have a dramatic impact on eukaryotic cells and is associated with mental and developmental pathologies in humans. The studies outlined below illustrate how a basic biochemical problem ...
Phosphoglucomutase is absent in Trypanosoma brucei and redundantly substituted by phosphomannomutase and phospho-N-acetylglucosamine mutase
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-07)
The enzymes phosphomannomutase (PMM), phospho-N-acetylglucosamine mutase (PAGM) and phosphoglucomutase (PGM) reversibly catalyze the transfer of phosphate between the C6 and C1 hydroxyl groups of mannose, N-acetylglucosamine ...
SAGE transcript profiling of the juvenile cambial region of Eucalyptus grandis
(HERON PUBLISHING, 2008)
Despite the importance of Eucalyptus spp. in the pulp and paper industry, functional genomic approaches have only recently been applied to understand wood formation in this genus. We attempted to establish a global view ...
Trypanosoma cruzi contains two galactokinases; molecular and biochemical characterization
(Elsevier Ireland, 2016-10)
Two different putative galactokinase genes, found in the genome database of Trypanosoma cruzi were cloned and sequenced. Expression of the genes in Escherichia coli resulted for TcGALK-1 in the synthesis of a soluble and ...
On the stability of nucleoside diphosphate glucose metabolites: implications for studies of plant carbohydrate metabolism
(Oxford University Press, 2017-06)
Nucleoside diphosphate sugars (NDP-sugars) are the substrates for biosynthesis of oligo- and polysaccharides, such as starch and cellulose, and are also required for biosynthesis of nucleotides, ascorbic acid, several ...

(Oxford University Press, 2017-05)
Nucleoside diphosphate sugars (NDP-sugars) are the substrates for biosynthesis of oligo-and polysaccharides, such as starch and cellulose, and are also required for biosynthesis of nucleotides, ascorbic acid, several ...
Sugarcane Phosphoribosyl Pyrophosphate Synthetase: Molecular Characterization of a Phosphate-independent PRS
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (PRS-EC:2.7.6.1) is an important enzyme present in several metabolic pathways, thus forming a complex family of isoenzymes. However, plant PRS enzymes have not been extensively ...
The genome sequence of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa: The Xylella fastidiosa consortium of the organization for nucleotide sequencing and analysis, Sao Paulo, Brazil
(Macmillan Publishers Ltd, 2000-07-13)
Xylella fastidiosa is a fastidious, xylem-limited bacterium that causes a range of economically important plant diseases. Here we report the complete genome sequence of X. fastidiosa clone 9a5c, which causes citrus variegated ...
