Dear glycoscientists
I am an Immunologist and my interest is how glycoproteins are processed
into peptides and presented by MHC class II molecules to T cells. I am
especially interested in O-glycosylated proteins and I am interested in T
cells that can recognize antigenic peptides partly defined by small
O-glycans.
However, I would like to know more about how O-glycans on proteins are
degraded when "used". Where is this actually going on ? Is it limited to a
single specialized compartment (eg. lysosome) or can it also happen in
other acidic compartments (eg endosomes) ? What enzymes are involved in
this process ? Is the enzyme responsible of removing O-GalNAc known in
humans (and mice) ?
If you have knownledge to articles or reviews please send it to my e-mail
address. Everything has my interest
sincerely
Teis
