An optimised assay for quantitative, high-throughput analysis of polysialyltransferase activity
YesThe polysialyltransferases are biologically important glycosyltransferase enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of
polysialic acid, a carbohydrate polymer that plays a critical role in the progression of several diseases, notably cancer.
Having improved the chemical synthesis and purification of the fluorescently-labelled DMB-DP3 acceptor, we report
optimisation and validation of a highly sensitive cell-free high-throughput HPLC-based assay for assessment of human
polysialyltransferase activity
