2.4.1.212 additional information enzyme is responsible for hyaluronan biosynthesis, the hyaluronan capsule is an important, but not the only, virulence factor, physiological role of the enzyme 2.4.1.212 additional information isozyme expression and effects on tumor development and growth in rats, overview 2.4.1.212 additional information isozyme expression and effects on tumor development and growth in rats, overview, repression of HAS2 expression leads to reduced hyaluronan synthesis and reduced tumorigenicity in the peritoneum 2.4.1.212 additional information isozyme expression and regulation by interleukin-1beta, progesterone, and low-molecular-weight hyaluronan in pregnant mouse uterine cervix, overview 2.4.1.212 additional information regulation mechanism of hyaluronan biosynthesis, stimulation of cells by cytokines effects the different expression patterns of the isoforms, especially during embryonic development, the isozymes have different roles in hyaluronan biosynthesis 2.4.1.212 additional information regulation mechanism of hyaluronan biosynthesis, stimulation of cells by cytokines effects the different expression patterns of the isoforms, especially during embryonic development, the isozymes have different roles in hyaluronan biosynthesis, isozymes exhibit different functions in tumor growth, progression, and determination of malignancy 2.4.1.212 additional information the produced hyaluronan capsule enhances infection 2.4.1.212 additional information HA made by the has-1 transduced arterial smooth muscle cells is larger or part of a larger complex that resists proteolytic degradation when compared to the has-3 tansduced ASMCs. There is evidence that the different has enzymes have an inherent ability to regulate hyaluronan size 2.4.1.212 additional information hyaluronic acid synthase contributes to the pathogenesis of Cryptococcus neoformans infection 2.4.1.212 additional information HAS2, localized in the plasma membrane, uses cytoplasmic UDP-glucuronic acid and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as substrates 2.4.1.212 additional information isozyme HAS1 requires higher cellular UDP-GlcNAc concentration than isozymes HAS2 and HAS3. HAS1 is almost inactive in cells with low UDP-sugar supply, HAS2 activity increases with UDP-sugars, and HAS3 produces hyaluronan at high speed even with minimum substrate content. HAS works on the cytosolic pool of the UDPsugars 2.4.1.212 additional information Pasteurella multocida hyaluronan synthase encompasses two transferase domains that elongate a growing hyaluronan oligosaccharide chain by addition of either GlcNAc or GlcUA residues from a corresponding UDP-sugar 2.4.1.212 UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate + N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1-4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1-3)-[nascent hyaluronan] - 2.4.1.212 UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate + N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->3)-[nascent hyaluronan] - 2.4.1.212 UDP-alpha-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1-3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1-4)-[nascent hyaluronan] - 2.4.1.212 UDP-alpha-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-[nascent hyaluronan] - 2.4.1.212 UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + UDP-D-glucuronate - 2.4.1.212 UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + UDP-D-glucuronate addition of monosaccharides to the linear heteropolysaccharide chain 2.4.1.212 UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + UDP-D-glucuronate addition of monosaccharides to the reducing end to form a linear heteropolysaccharide chain 2.4.1.212 UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + UDP-D-glucuronate biosynthesis of hyaluronan
