Functional Analysis of the Glucuronyltransferases GlcAT-P and GlcAT-S of Drosophila melanogaster: Distinct Activities towards the O-linked T-antigen

  • Isabelle Breloy,
  • Tilo Schwientek,
  • Deborah Althoff,
  • Marvin Holz,
  • Tim Koppen,
  • Angelika Krupa and
  • Franz-Georg Hanisch

The Drosophila melanogaster glucuronyltransferases dGlcAT-S and dGlcAT-P were reported to be expressed ubiquitously and results of in vitro activity assays indicate a functional redundancy. We analyzed both transferases in vivo and in vitro and could...
