The role of protein glycosylation in the control of cellular N-sialyltransferase activity.

abstract：:Endothelin-1 (ET-1) dose-dependently increased HIF1α expression in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Inhibition of protein synthesis did not affect ET-1-induced HIF1α expression. The maximum effect of ET-1 was similar to that caused by proteasome inhibitor MG132. Further study indicates that ET-1 also dos...
