How do we obtain the sugars that can be incorporated?

      - Other types of sugars
        This is due to

        They belong to the group of
        Orphan diseases
        They do not occur frequently
        Occurs due to
        The enzymes that degrade glycosaminoglycans
        They are not present or are deficient
        Which causes them
        They are accumulated in
        The tissues where they are

        Evolution of glucans
- Building Blocks of Glycans
  - Monosaccharides or individual sugars
- From protein and lipid scaffolds
  - Cells create glucans
    - Through glycosidic bonds
      - Attachment of one monosaccharide to another
        Through the hydroxyl of the anomeric carbon
- Stereochemistry is important
  - They can be almost the same
    - But have
      - Different biological properties
        Combinatorial complexity
In eukaryotic cells
- Most of
  - Glycoproteins and glycolipids
    - They biosynthesize in
      - The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi
        Through the sequential action of
        Series of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases
        Located in specific subdomains
        Of these organelles
        Forming a
        Assembly line
        Building glycans as they
        Lipid and protein substrates
        Transit the secretory pathway
        Some
        Extracellular glucans
        Biosynthesize and extrude
        On the plasmid membrane
Glycosylation
- It is abundant within
  - Animal and plant cells
    - Thousands of soluble proteins
      - Nuclear and cytoplasmic
        They are dynamically modified in
        Serine and threonine residues
        By O-GlcNAc
        Transient modification of a single sugar
        Regulating
        Localization and protein function
Final glycoforms
- Protein and lipid
  - Depend on
    - Interaction between
      - Glycan biosynthetic machinery
        Available nucleotide sugars
        And
        Signals from
        Intracellular and extracellular environments
        Not driven by
        Pre-existing template molecule
- Due to
  - Biosynthetic complexity
    - A given protein
      - Multiple glycoforms
        Within a single cell or tissue
        Phenomenon known as
        Microheterogeneity
        Additionally
        A single protein
        May glycosylate
        Differently
        In a tissue or organ
        In front of another
        Also producing
        Macroheterogeneity
Biological imperatives
- Driving
  - Variety of glycoconjugates
    - Little known
      - But many organisms
        Use multiple glycoforms
        To generate
        Greater functional diversity
        From
        Limited set of scaffolds
        Of proteins or lipids- or
        To confuse viruses and other parasites
        Which could explode
        More easily simple and predictable
Important diseases
- Characterized by
  - Aberrant glycosylation
    - Cancer
    - Neurodegeneration
    - Diabetes
    - Congenital disorders
- Several critical treatments
  - They are themselves glycoconjugates
    - Heparin
    - Aminoglycoside antibiotics
    - Erythropoietin
    - Monoclonal antibodies
    - Many vaccines
Glycobiology
- Little studied
  - Compared to
    - Other aspects of cell biology
      - One reason for this delay is
        The chemical complexity
        And
        Analytical challenges of glucans
        They have presented formidable barriers
        To research
A large number of intracellular proteins
- They are reversibly modified by
  - O-GlcNAc in animals and plants
    - O-GlcNAc is added to substrates
      - By OGT glycosyltransferase
        Using UDP-GlcNAc
        As its nucleotide
        Sugar donor
        A predominant notion is
        O-GlcNAc often
        Serves a role de
        Nutrient detection
        Because UDP-GlcNAc itself
        It biosynthesizes from
        Various essential metabolites
        Such as
        Glucose
        Glutamine
        ATP
        Uridine
        Acetyl-coenzyme A
    - Global levels
      - Of O-GlcNAc
        Fluctuate in response
        To nutrient changes
It has been related
- With metabolically important pathways and processes
  - Such as cardiac calcium signaling
  - Circadian entrainment
  - Mitochondrial motility in neurons
  - Epigenetic transcriptional control
  - Of metabolic genes
  - The Hippo -Control pathway
    - Of the size of YAP organs
