1. Development and application of alternative methods for profiling proteins N-glycosylation
Sammanfattning : Glycosylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) that exerts profound structural and functional effects on the modified protein. Glycan synthesis and conjugation to proteins are regulated by a myriad of factors, both genetic and environmental, and are also influenced by external stressors. LÄS MER
2. The role of glycoproteins in glomerular pathophysiology
Sammanfattning : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide and has a prevalence of around 10%. With time patients are at risk of losing their renal function and will need dialysis or transplantation for survival. There are no specific treatments available and mechanisms behind the onset and progression of CKD are still not fully investigated. LÄS MER
3. Mucins in normal and diseased airways
Sammanfattning : Mucus glycoproteins (mucins) are the principal constituents of respiratory secretions in health and disease. The increased 'acidity' of mucin producing cells in the bronchitic airways is not reflected in a change of negative charge of bronchitic mucins. LÄS MER
4. Glycosylation of microsomal proteins and their relationship to peroxisomes
Sammanfattning : The distribution of glycoproteins in rough and smooth microsomes and Golgi membranes was studied using proteolytic treatment of intact vesicles. About half of the protein-bound sugar residues could be removed by this treatment, indicating the presence of glycoproteins on both surfaces of the membrane. LÄS MER
5. Molecular basis for galectin-ligand interactions : Design, synthesis and analysis of ligands
Sammanfattning : Galectins are a class of β-galactoside-binding proteins that bind glycoconjugates and have been implicated in cancer, regulation of immunity and inflammation. Design and synthesis have achieved highly potent and selective galectin ligands that can inhibit interactions with glycoproteins and have consequent cellular effects. LÄS MER
