Acceptor-substrate recognition by N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V: Critical role of the 4''-hydroxyl group in β-D-GlcpNAc-(1->2)-α-D-Manp(1->6)-β-D-Glcp-OR

The enzyme N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V (GlcNAcT-V) transfers GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the OH-6' group of oligosaccharides terminating in the sequence β-D-GlcpNAc-(1->2)-α-D-Manp-(1->6)-β-D-Glcp (or Manp)-OR (5, R = (CH2)7CH3) to yield the sequence
