      Atomic and Specificity Details of Mucin 1 O-Glycosylation Process by Multiple Polypeptide GalNAc-Transferase Isoforms Unveiled by NMR and Molecular Modeling 

      Coelho, Helena; De las Rivas, Matilde; Grosso, Ana S.; Diniz, Ana; Soares, Cátia O.; Francisco, Rodrigo A.; Dias, Jorge S.; Compañón, Ismael; Sun, Lingbo; Narimatsu, Yoshiki; Vakhrushev, Sergey Y.; Clausen, Henrik; Cabrita, Eurico J.; Jiménez Barbero, Jesús ORCID; Corzana, Francisco; Hurtado Guerrero, Ramón; Marcelo, Filipa (American Chemical Society, 2022-02-24)
      [EN] The large family of polypeptide GalNAc-transferases (GalNAc-Ts) controls with precision how GalNAc O-glycans are added in the tandem repeat regions of mucins (e.g., MUC1). However, the structural features behind the ...

      Molecular ruler mechanism and interfacial catalysis of the integral membrane acyltransferase PatA 

      Anso, Itxaso; Basso, Luis G. M.; Wang, Lei; Marina, Alberto; Páez Pérez, Edgar D.; Jager, Christian; Gavotto, Floriane; Tersa Peñacoba, Montserrat; Perrone, Sebastian; Contreras Gómez, Xabier ORCID; Prandi, Jacques; Gilleron, Martine; Linster, Carole L.; Corzana, Francisco; Lowary, Todd L.; Trastoy, Beatriz; Guerín, Marcelo Eduardo (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-10)
      [EN]Glycolipids are prominent components of bacterial membranes that play critical roles not only in maintaining the structural integrity of the cell but also in modulating host-pathogen interactions. PatA is an essential ...

      Unveiling the activation dynamics of a fold-switch bacterial glycosyltransferase by 19F NMR 

      Liebau, Jobst; Tersa Peñacoba, Montserrat; Trastoy, Beatriz; Patrick, Joan; Rodrigo Unzueta, Ane; Corzana, Francisco; Sparrman, Tobias; Guerín, Marcelo Eduardo; Mäler, Lena (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020-07-17)
      Fold-switch pathways remodel the secondary structure topology of proteins in response to the cellular environment. It is a major challenge to understand the dynamics of these folding processes. Here, we conducted an in-depth ...

      Water Sculpts the Distinctive Shapes and Dynamics of the Tumor-Associated Carbohydrate Tn Antigens: Implications for Their Molecular Recognition 

      Bermejo, Iris A.; Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; Compañón, Ismael; Castro-López, Jorge; Insausti Beiro, Aran; Fernández González, José Andrés ORCID; Avenoza, Alberto; Busto, Jesús H.; Jiménez Barbero, Jesús ORCID; Asensio, Juan L.; Peregrina, Jesús M.; Jiménez Oses, Gonzalo; Hurtado Guerrero, Ramón; Cocinero Pérez, Emilio José; Corzana, Francisco (ACS, 2018-07-13)
      The tumor-associated carbohydrate Tn antigens include two variants, αGalNAc-O-Thr and αGalNAc-O-Ser. In solution, they exhibit dissimilar shapes and dynamics and bind differently to the same protein receptor. Here, we ...
