Protein paucimannosylation is a novel N-glycosylation signature of human cancers
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This is the first study to systematically investigate and document an association between protein paucimannosylation, a recently identified human N-glycosylation type, and human cancers. The study provides evidence of an over-representation of paucimannosylation in diverse cancer types, and further points to a stage-specific expression, catalytic involvement of ?-hexosaminidase and cancer cell surface expression of paucimannosidic proteins. Our findings expand our knowledge of the glyco-phenotypes underpinning human cancer, and, at the same time, open many enticing questions concerning the biogenesis, protein carrier(s), subcellular localisation(s) and function(s) of paucimannosylation in the heterogeneous tumour micro-environment. Thus, this work contributes to the fundamental knowledge required to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and, eventually, prevention of human cancers.
