Which articles should be selected for presentation in the monthly Functional Glycomics update?
Here I want to present interesting current glycobiology research which I couldn’t cover in the FA or RH area of the update.
Please feel free to comment on any publication mentioned ;-).

There is a recent series of articles in JCB, MBC, Blood and JBC about ERGIC-53, an intracellular L-type lectin-like protein involved in protein sorting.
I will either write a Featured Article for the March Glycomics update or publish a minireview here.

Also a remark to the recent post about Glycopro – in the May update I added a couple of recent publications describing useful software tools for glycobiology/glycomics – see here

Addition to the June FA01 about endogenous lectin receptors:
Schaefer, M. et al. Decreased Pathology and Prolonged Survival of Human DC-SIGN Transgenic Mice during Mycobacterial Infection. Journal of Immunology 180, 6836-6845 (2008) Article -
These articles are interesting – they fit nicely to the O-GlcNAc articles featured in the July FG update:
Sayat, R. et al. O-GlcNAc-glycosylation of beta-catenin regulates its nuclear localization and transcriptional activity. Exp Cell Res. 6 Juni 2008
Whelan S. A., Lane M.D . & Hart G. W. Regulation of the O-GlcNAc transferase by insulin signaling. J Biol Chem. 2 Juni 2008

Ken Lau and James W. Dennis authored an extensive review about N-glycans in Cancer Progression, published in Glycobiology 14 August 2008; Article
The Klotho sialidase highlighted in the August Functional Glycomics update complements the cell-surface interactions between glycans and glycan-binding proteins (particularly the glycan-galectin-lattice) – a complex network of glycan modifications regulates the life span of cell surface proteins and ligand-receptor interactions.

Heparan sulfate proteoglycan editing by extracellular sulfs – similar to Klotho as they “edit” cell-surface glycans to regulate signalling:
Lamanna, W. C. et al. Sulf loss influences N-, 2O-, and 6O-sulfation of multiple heparan sulfate proteoglycans and modulates FGF signaling. J Biol Chem 6 August 2008; Article
