2. 1. Studies on N-linked glycosylation in proliferation and viability of normal and tumor cells in vitro

   Author : Magdalena Carlberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Apoptosis; DNA synthesis; IGF-1 receptor; HMG-CoA reductase; lovastatin; mevalonate; N-linked glycosylation; PDGF; SV40-transformation; tumor; tunicamycin.;

   Abstract : A number of studies suggest a critical role of N-linked glycosylation for cellular proliferation. In addition, many transformed and tumor cells have an altered 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity and an increased N-linked glycosylation. READ MORE

4. 2. N-linked glycosylation of HIV-1 and Hantaan virus glycoproteins. Implications for vaccination and therapy

   Author : Eric Rowcliffe; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Enveloped viruses have a great advantage comparedto the non-enveloped viruses due to theirability to acquire not only a host membrane butalso host-specific glycosylation of their surfaceglycoproteins. These carbohydrate structures,mainly of the N-linked glycan class, have a lowimmunogenicity and this feature enables envelopedviruses to keep a low profile towards theimmune system by shielding crucial epitopesfrom antibody recognition.

5. 3. Role of dolichyl phosphate, N-linked glycosylation and cell membrane expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor in maintenance of malignant cell growth

   Author : Anica Dricu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Several studies have demonstrated that mevalonate (MVA) synthesis is required for cell proliferation. The mechanisms underlying MVA-regulated cell growth are still not fully understood. One conceivable mechanism for MVA-dependent cell growth is N-linked glycosylation of growth regulatory proteins. READ MORE

6. 4. Intrapatient evolution of HIV-1 in the context of coreceptor usage

   Author : Mattias Mild; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coreceptor switch; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ; biological cloning; R5-X4; coreceptor usage; glycosylation; recombination; HIV; evolution;

   Abstract : The variable region 1 to 3 (V1-V3) of the HIV-1 envelope plays an important role in coreceptor usage. Early in infection HIV- 1 is using CCR5 as coreceptor to enter target cells (R5 viruses) whereas viruses using CXCR4 as coreceptor (X4 viruses) may appear later in infection. READ MORE

7. 5. Immune recognition and early virus-cell interactions. Glycobiological aspects on HIV-1 gp120

   Author : Gregers J. Gram; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV-1 ; glycoprotein; gp120; glycosylation.;

   Abstract : Human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) are the etiological agents of AIDS in humans. The viral envelope glycoproteins gp120 and gp41 mediate the early virus-cell interaction of HIV with the target cells. READ MORE
