Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene GnTII, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, sequence comparisons and phylogenetic tree, functional expression of the enzyme using a silkworm-based Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus bacmid expression system, the enzyme is secreted. The recombinant enzyme exhibits similar pH and temperature dependency and the same substrate specificity as human GnTII expressed by the same system, but deglycosylation with peptide:N-glycanase F does not affect its enzymatic activity. Construction of a vector including the N-terminally FLAG (DYKDDDDK)-tagged lumenal region (Leu27eAla498) including the stem domain and the catalytic domain of BmGnTII together with a signal peptide sequence from bombyxin and transformed into Escherichia coli BmDH10Bac-CP-/Chi- competent cells, which contain the cysteine protease- and chitinase-deficient BmNPV bacmid. RT-PCR expression analysis. The cDNA templates are synthesized from total RNAs extracted from whole bodies of first to fifth-instar larvae and pupa and tissues of fifth-instar larvae. Tissues used are as follows: fat body, midgut, silk gland, epidermis, and Malpighian tubule. To produce the soluble form of BmGnTII n hemolymph, chitosan/BmNPV bacmid nanocomplexes are prepared and then injected into fifth-instar silkworm larvae. The bacmid-injected larvae are reared on an artificial diet Bombyx mori

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution compared with the structure of human GnTII, the amino acid residues involved in catalytic activity and substrate recognition are almost fully conserved in Bombyx mori GnTII, which is consistent with its enzymatic properties Bombyx mori
metabolism beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II is a key enzyme for complex-type N-glycan biosynthesis. Both insect and mammalian cells produce Man(alpha1->6)[GlcNAc(beta1->2)Man(alpha1->3)]Man(beta1->4)GlcNAc(beta1->4)GlcNAc (MGn) glycan as an intermediate during N-glycan processing. In insect cells, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (fused lobes, FDL) removes a GlcNAc residue of the alpha1-3 arm of MGn glycan to produce Man(alpha1->6)[Man(alpha1->3)]ManGlcNAc2 (MM), a core structure from paucimannose-type N-glycans Bombyx mori
physiological function beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II (GnTII) catalyzes the transfer of GlcNAc from a UDP-GlcNAc donor to the alpha1-6 arm of MGn glycan to produce biantennary complex-type glycans in mammalian cells Bombyx mori
