Abstract
This study aimed at the application conditions of environmental materials in sweet potato starch wastewater by hydrolysis acidification process. The removal rates of COD and soluble protein were investigated to find suitable natural setting time, the quantity of acidic steeping liquor and pH. The results showed that traditional fermentation not only consumes time but also scarcely removal efficiency in short time. 40% acidic steeping liquor was added as an optimum dosage for effective treatment. In addition, the effort of pH (3.0-9.0) on the hydrolysis acidification of wastewater was investigated. The removal rates of COD and soluble protein reached 26.9% and 76.3% respectively at pH4.0. Therefore, pH was adjusted to isoelectric point that can effectively reduce the burden of subsequent wastewater treatment.

Abstract
O-Glycans in saliva and tear isolated from patients suffering from ocular rosacea, a form of inflammatory ocular surface disease, were profiled, and their structures were elucidated using high resolution mass spectrometry. We have previously shown that certain structures, particularly sulfated oligosaccharides, increased in the tear and saliva of rosacea patients. In this study, the structures of these glycans were elucidated using primarily tandem mass spectrometry. There were important similarities in the glycan profiles of tears and saliva with the majority of the structures in common. The structures of the most abundant species common to both tear and saliva, which were also the most abundant species in both, were elucidated. For sulfated species, the positions of the sulfate groups were localized. The majority of the structures were new, with the sulfated glycans comprising mucin core 1- and core 2-type structures. As both saliva and tear are rich in mucins, it is suggested that the O-glycans are mainly components of mucins. The study further illustrates the strong correspondence between the glycans in the tear and saliva of ocular rosacea patients.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the gross structure, secondary structure, and antitumor and mitogenic activity of GANL, a lectin from the gill of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis). We used infrared spectroscopy, β-elimination, and circular dichroism spectroscopy to determine the structure of GANL. We measured antiproliferation activity against six human tumor cell lines and mitogenic activity against murine splenocytes using the MTT assay. Based on infrared spectroscopy and β-elimination, we conclude that GANL is a glycoprotein. The protein and carbohydrate moieties are joined by O-glycosidic linkage. A circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis revealed that the secondary structure of GANL consists of α-helices (34.8 %), β-sheets (12.1 %), β-turns (24.5 %), and unordered structures (33.0 %). GANL exerted potent antitumor activity against the HeLa cell line (IC(50) = 11.86 μg/mL) and a mitogenic effect on murine splenocytes in the MTT assay. GANL, a lectin that is isolated from the gills of bighead carp, is a glycoprotein with potent antitumor and mitogenic activity.

Abstract
Background The number of breast cancer patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) continues to grow. Laboratory and clinical data indicate that DCIS can progress to invasive disease. Carbohydrate-mediated cell-cell adhesion and tumor-stroma interaction play crucial roles in tumorigenesis and tumor aggressive behavior. Breast carcinogenesis may reflect quantitative as well as qualitative changes in oligosaccharide expression, which may provide a useful tool for early detection of breast cancer. Because tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACA) are implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis, the purpose of this study was to assess the expression of selected TACA by lectin histochemistry on DCIS specimens from the archival breast cancer tissue array bank of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Methods For detection of TACA expression, specimens were stained with Griffonia simplicifolia lectin-I (GS-I) and Vicia vilosa agglutinin (VVA). We studied associations of lectin reactivity with established prognostic factors, such as tumor size, tumor nuclear grade, and expression of Her-2/neu, p53 mutant and estrogen and progesterone receptors. Results We observed that both lectins showed significant associations with nuclear grade of DCIS. DCIS specimens with nuclear grades II and III showed significantly more intense reactivity than DCIS cases with nuclear grade I to GS-1 (Mean-score chi-square = 17.60, DF = 2; P = 0.0002) and VVA (Mean-score chi-square = 15.72, DF = 2; P = 0.0004). Conclusion The results suggest that the expression of VVA- and GS-I-reactive carbohydrate antigens may contribute to forming higher grade DCIS and increase the recurrence risk.

Abstract
Formation of the sugar-amino acid linkage is a crucial event in the biosynthesis of the carbohydrate units of glycoproteins. It sets into motion a complex series of posttranslational enzymatic steps that lead to the formation of a host of protein-bound oligosaccharides with diverse biological functions. These reactions occur throughout the entire phylogenetic spectrum, ranging from archaea and eubacteria to eukaryotes. It is the aim of this review to describe the glycopeptide linkages that have been found to date and specify their presence on well-characterized glycoproteins. A survey is also made of the enzymes involved in the formation of the various glycopeptide bonds as well as the site of their intracellular action and their affinity for particular peptide domains is evaluated. This examination indicates that 13 different monosaccharides and 8 amino acids are involved in glycoprotein linkages leading to a total of at least 41 bonds, if the anomeric configurations, the phosphoglycosyl linkages, as well as the GPI (glycophosphatidylinositol) phosphoethanolamine bridge are also considered. These bonds represent the products of N- and O-glycosylation, C-mannosylation, phosphoglycation, and glypiation. Currently at least 16 enzymes involved in their formation have been identified and in many cases cloned. Their intracellular site of action varies and includes the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cytosol, and nucleus. With the exception of the Asn-linked carbohydrate and the GPI anchor, which are transferred to the polypeptide en bloc, the sugar-amino acid linkages are formed by the enzymatic transfer of an activated monosaccharide directly to the protein. This review also deals briefly with glycosidases, which are involved in physiologically important cleavages of glycopeptide bonds in higher organisms, and with a number of human disease states in which defects in enzymatic transfer of saccharides to protein have been implicated.

Abstract
A novel cDNA-encoding galactose 3-O-sulfotransferase was cloned by screening the expressed sequence tag data base using the previously cloned cDNA encoding a galactosyl ceramide 3-O-sulfotransferase, which we term Gal3ST-1. The newly isolated cDNA encodes a novel 3-O-sulfotransferase, termed Gal3ST-3, that acts exclusively on N-acetyllactosamine present in N-glycans and core2-branched O-glycans. These conclusions were confirmed by analyzing CD43 chimeric proteins in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing core2 beta1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. The acceptor specificity of Gal3ST-3 contrasts with that of the recently cloned galactose 3-O-sulfotransferase (Honke, K., Tsuda, M., Koyota, S., Wada, Y., Iida-Tanaka, N., Ishizuka, I., Nakayama, J., and Taniguchi, N. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 267-274), which we term Gal3ST-2 in the present study because the latter enzyme can also act on core1 O-glycan and type 1 oligosaccharides, Galbeta1-->3GlcNAc. Moreover, Gal3ST-3 but not Gal3ST-2 can act on Galbeta1-->4(sulfo-->6)GlcNAc, indicating that disulfated sulfo-->3Galbeta1-->4(sulfo-->6) GlcNAc-->R may be formed by Gal3ST-3 in combination with GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase. Although both Gal3ST-2 and Gal3ST-3 do not act on galactosyl ceramide, Gal3ST-3 is only moderately more homologous to Gal3ST-2 (40.1%) than to Gal3ST-1 (38.0%) at the amino acid level. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that transcripts for Gal3ST-3 are predominantly expressed in the brain, kidney, and thyroid where the presence of 3'-sulfation of N-acetyllactosamine has been reported. These results indicate that the newly cloned Gal3ST-3 plays a critical role in 3'-sulfation of N-acetyllactosamine in both O- and N-glycans.

Abstract
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) agglutinin (PNA) is extensively used as tumour marker as it strongly recognises the cancer specific T antigen (Galbeta1-->3GalNAc-), but not its sialylated version. However, an additional specificity towards Galbeta1-->4GlcNAc (LacNAc), which is not tumour specific, had been attributed to PNA. For correct interpretation of lectin histochemical results we examined PNA sugar specificity using naturally occurring or semi-synthetic glycoproteins, matrix-immobilised galactosides and lectin-binding tissue glycoproteins, rather than mono- or disaccharides as ligands. Dot-blots, transfer blots or polystyrene plate coatings of the soluble glycoconjugates were probed with horse-radish peroxidase (HRP) conjugates of PNA and other lectins of known specificity. Modifications of PNA-binding glycoproteins, including selective removal of O-linked oligosaccharides and treatment with glycosidases revealed that Galbeta1-->4GlcNAc (LacNAc) was ineffective while terminal alpha-linked galactose (TAG) as well as exposed T antigen (Galbeta1-->3 GalNAc-) was excellent as sugar moiety in glycoproteins for their recognition by PNA. When immobilised, melibiose was superior to lactose in PNA binding. Results were confirmed using TAG-specific human serum anti-alpha-galactoside antibody.

Abstract
Mucin-type O-glycans are classified according to their core structures. Among them, cores 2 and 4 are important for having N-acetyllactosamine side chains, which can be further modified to express various functional oligosaccharides. Previously, we discovered by cloning cDNAs that the core 2 branching enzyme, termed core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-leukocyte type (C2GnT-L), is highly homologous to the I branching beta-1, 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (IGnT) (Bierhuizen, M. F. A., Mattei, M.-G., and Fukuda, M. (1993) Genes Dev. 7, 468-478). Using these homologous sequences as probes, we identified an expressed sequence tag in dbEST, which has significant homology to C2GnT-L and IGnT. This approach, together with 5'and 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends, yielded a human cDNA that encompasses a whole coding region of an enzyme, termed C2GnT-mucin type (C2GnT-M). C2GnT-M has 48.2 and 33.8% identity with C2GnT-L and IGnT at the amino acid levels. The expression of C2GnT-M cDNA directed the expression of core 2 branched oligosaccharides and I antigen on the cell surface. Moreover, a soluble chimeric C2GnT-M had core 4 branching activity in addition to core 2 and I branching activities. A soluble chimeric C2GnT-L, in contrast, almost exclusively contains core 2 branching activity. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the C2GnT-M transcripts are heavily expressed in colon, small intestine, trachea, and stomach, where mucin is produced. In contrast, the transcripts of C2GnT-L were more widely detected, including the lymph node and bone marrow. These results indicate that the newly cloned C2GnT-M plays a critical role in O-glycan synthesis in mucins and might have distinctly different roles in oligosaccharide ligand formation compared with C2GnT-L.

Abstract
alpha-Gal terminated saccharides are present on the cell surface both as glycolipids and glycoproteins in all mammals except Old World monkeys and humans. The structural diversity among identified saccharides terminated by this epitope in animal tissues is steadily increasing. The majority of these saccharides have the alpha-Gal linked to lactosamine but other core saccharides exist. The alpha-Gal terminated saccharides are recognized by the immune system as a specific antigen and antibodies directed to the alpha-Gal, which do not cross-react with the classic blood group B trisaccharide, are found in man and Old World monkeys. Similar to other complex carbohydrate cell surface antigens, the alpha-Gal epitope is heterogeneously distributed in different organs and in different cells within an organ. It is present on the vascular endothelium and it is the primary target for human naturally occurring antibodies following pig to primate/man xenotransplantation leading to hyperacute rejection of the graft. Important for the future will be to further structurally characterize this antigen system, its cellular/subcellular distribution, and to identify possible of additional glycosyltransferases, related to the already described alpha 1,3galactosyltransferase that may explain the structural diversity. Such information will be of importance in the studies of, for example, the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and for the production of genetically modified pigs to prevent xenograft rejection.

Abstract
A large number of new glycans, derived from glycoproteins, has been characterized in the past few years. O-linked fucose was found in epidermal growth factor-like domains of several proteins. For the N-linked glycans of Helix pomatia hemocyanin, novel types of antennae were identified. The positions of noncarbohydrate substituents were established in N-glycans. C-mannosylation of a tryptophan residue was discovered in human ribonuclease 2 and is the first example of C-glycosylation in glycoproteins.
