This paper identifies and characterizes two β-1,2-xylosyltransferases in Cryptococcus neoformans, showing they differentially impact glycan synthesis and capsule formation.

The paper identifies a specific O-glucose glycan extension on NOTCH1 EGF10 that impacts ligand binding and signaling, revealing new enzymatic pathways and structural features of Notch glycosylation.

The paper identifies a bipartite sialylation pathway in Drosophila where glia and neurons perform distinct roles in regulating neural transmission and stress tolerance.
