Structure and mechanism of cancer-associated N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V

The activity of glycosyltransferase GnT-V correlates with cancer malignancy and poor prognosis but its mechanism of action is poorly understood. Here, the authors solve crystal structures of free and substrate analog-bound GnT-V, providing insights into its catalytic mechanism and a basis for GnT-V...
