Activities of glycolipid glycosyltransferases and sialidases during the early development of Xenopus laevis / R. Gornati, S. Basu, G. Bernardini, A.M. Rizzo, F. Rossi, B. Berra. - In: MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOCHEMISTRY. - ISSN 0300-8177. - 166:1-2(1997), pp. 117-124.
Abstract:
The activities of glycosyltransferases and sialidases, together with the ganglioside content and distribution, have been extensively studied in mammals, while the informations on tissues of other animals, including amphibian, are scarce. In this paper we present data on the activities of SAT-1, SAT-2, SAT-4, SAT-5, GlcNAcT-1, GalNAcT-1, GalT-6, and sialidases studied in Xenopus laevis embryos at different stages of development. The highest activity was found at days 4 and 5 of embryogenesis for glycosyltransferases and sialidases respectively; a tentative correlation between the in vitro activity of these enzymes and the content of neutral and acidic glycolipids is discussed.
