In contrast, KO cells would lack fucosylation and everything terminal galactoses could possibly be sialylated thus, leading to resistance to ricin. SLC35C1 deficiency are resistant to ricin also. Mechanistically, we concur that decreased fucosylation results in elevated sialylation of Lewis X buildings and therefore masking of ricin-binding sites. Inactivation from the sialyltransferase in charge of […]
