New insights into the N-glycomes of Dictyostelium species by Alba Hykollari, Daniel Malzl, Chunsheng Jin, Carina Eschenbach, Kristína Kianičková, Iain B.H. Wilson, Katharina Paschinger

“…Dictyostelia are cellular slime molds, a group of Amoebozoa, that form multicellular fruiting bodies out of aggregating cells able of differentiating into resistant spore forms. In previous studies on Dictyostelium discoideum, it was demonstrated that their N-glycans, as in most eukaryotes, derive from the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-PP-Dol precursor; however, unique glyco-epitopes, including intersecting GlcNAc, core α1,3-fucosylation, sulphation and methylphosphorylation, were detected. …”
