Deskripsi
Core-fucosylation of the N-glycan core is an essential biological modification and the α1,6- fucosyltransferase FUT8 is the only enzyme in humans that catalyses this modification through the addition of an α-1,6-linked fucose to N-glycans. Here the authors provide insights into FUT8 substrate recognition by determining the 1.95 Å crystal structure of human FUT8 complexed with GDP and a biantennary complex N-glycan.
