| Abstract | Mucin type O-glycans with core 2 branches are distinct from nonbranched O-glycans, and the amount of core 2 branched O-glycans changes dramatically during T cell differentiation. This oligosaccharide is synthesized only when core 2 β-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C2GnT) is present, and the expression of this glycosyltransferase is highly regulated. To understand how O-glycan synthesis is regulated by the orderly appearance of glycosyltransferases that form core 2 branched O-glycans, the subcellular localization of C2GnT was determined by using antibodies generated that are specific to C2GnT. The studies using confocal light microscopy demonstrated that C2GnT was localized mainly in cis tomedial-cisternae of the Golgi. We then converted C2GnT to atrans-Golgi enzyme by replacing its Golgi retention signal with that of α-2,6-sialyltransferase, which resides intrans-Golgi. Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing wild type C2GnT and the chimeric C2GnT were then subjected to oligosaccharide analysis. The results obtained clearly indicate that the conversion of C2GnT into a trans-Golgi enzyme resulted in a substantial decrease of core 2 branched oligosaccharides.These results, taken together, strongly suggest that the predominance of core 2 branched oligosaccharides in those cells expressing C2GnT is due to the fact that C2GnT is located earlier in the Golgi than α-2,3-sialyltransferase that competes with C2GnT for the common substrate. Furthermore, alteration of Golgi localization renders the chimeric C2GnT much less efficient in synthesizing core 2 branched oligosaccharides, indicating the critical role of orderly subcellular localization of glycosyltransferases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
