The rainbow trout CMP-sialic acid synthetase utilises a nuclear localization signal different from that identified in the mouse enzyme (2007)

Tiralongo, Joe, Fujita, Akiko, Sato, Chihiro, Kitajima, Ken, Lehmann, Friederike, Oschlies, Melanie, ...

The terminal sugar sialic acid (Sia) plays a pivotal role in cell–cell interaction and recognition. A prerequisite for the biosynthesis of sialoglycoconjugates is the activation of Sia to cytidine...

Functional expression of the CMP-sialic acid transporter in Escherichia coli and its identification as a simple mobile carrier (2006)

Tiralongo, Joe, Ashikov, Angel, Routier, Françoise, Eckhardt, Matthias, Bakker, Hans, Gerardy-Schahn, Rita, ...

The architectural conservation of nucleotide sugar transport proteins (NSTs) enabled the theoretical prediction of putative NSTs in diverse gene databases. In the human genome, 17 NST sequences have...

Two Trans-sialidase Forms with Different Sialic Acid Transfer and Sialidase Activities from Trypanosoma congolense (2003)

Tiralongo, Evelin, Schrader, Silke, Lange, Hans, Lemke, Hilmar, Tiralongo, Joe, Schauer, Roland

Trypanosomes express an enzyme called trans-sialidase (TS), which enables the parasites to transfer sialic acids from the environment onto trypanosomal surface molecules. Here we describe the...

Trans-sialidase-like sequences from Trypanosoma congolense conserve most of the critical active site residues found in other trans-sialidases. (2003)

Tiralongo, Evelin, Martensen, Ilka, Grötzinger, Joachim, Tiralongo, Joe, Schauer, Roland

Trypanosoma congolense is the agent of Nagana, the trypanosomiasis in African ruminants. Trypanosomes express an enzyme called trans-sialidase, which is believed to play an important role in...

Differential Carbohydrate Recognition by Campylobacter jejuni Strain 11168: Influences of Temperature and Growth Conditions
