Cell surface sialylation and fucosylation are regulated by L1 via phospholipase Cgamma and cooperate to modulate neurite outgrowth, cell survival and migration.

BACKGROUND: Cell surface glycosylation patterns are markers of cell type and status. However, the mechanisms regulating surface glycosylation patterns remain unknown. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Using a panel of carbohydrate surface markers, we have shown that cell surface sialylation and fucosy...
