Abstract:
:Recent studies from several laboratories have provided evidence that cell surface complex carbohydrates play key roles in the regulation of developmentally relevant signal transduction events. The demonstration that Fringe, a known modifier of Notch function, is a fucose-specific N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase provided strong evidence that the Notch signaling pathway could be regulated by alterations of O-fucose structures. More recently, the demonstration that O-fucose modification of Cripto is essential for Nodal-dependent signaling provides further evidence of a role for glycosylation in signal transduction. These and other examples provide a new paradigm for the regulation of signal transduction events by glycosylation.
