| BIO5088 | Glyco signaling | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| Glycoproteins, sphingolipids and glycolipids are a family of biomembrane components in supra-biomolecular system. Supra-biomolecular system is considered to play important roles for signal transduction. This complex suggests that the targeting of lipids is highly regulated and thatcells require complex supramolecular organization within membranes. In particular, glycoproteins, sphingolipid/cholesterol supramolecular domains have been recently revealed to play an important role in membrane biogenesis as well as signal transduction. This lecture focuses on enzymes involved in the glycoproteins, sphingolipid and glycolipid biosynthesis by means of biochemistry and molecular biology and try to modulate functions of membrane bound molecules by manipulating glycoproteins, sphingolipids and glycolipids. I try to address genes involved in the formation and maintenance of domains in order to understand the principle which governs the formation of glycoproteins and sphingolipid domains. I hope my lecture eventually leads to the establishment of an innovative industrial basis such as "domain sensor" with (1) enzymes regulating glycoprotein and sphingolipid expression. (2) Functional modulation of membrane molecules with glycoproteins and sphingolipids. (3) Establishment of micro-analysis of glycoproteins and sphingolipids. (4) Role of lipid domains in the endocytic pathway | |||||||||
