Structural basis for the synthesis of the core 1 structure by C1GalT1
Abstract
The glycosyltransferase C1GalT1 directs a key step in protein O-glycosylation important for the expression of the cancer-associated Tn and T antigens. Here, the authors provide molecular insights into the function of C1GalT1 by solving the crystal structure of the Drosophila enzyme-substrate complex.
