Mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan: an extraordinary lipoheteroglycan with profound physiological effects.

abstract：:The specificities of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) modification enzymes, particularly sulfotransferases, and the locations and concentrations of these enzymes in the Golgi apparatus give rise to the mature GAG polysaccharides that bind protein ligands. We studied the substrate specificities of sulfotransferases with a stabl...
