Revealing the human mucinome

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Dysregulation of mucin domain expression and aberrant mucin domain glycosylation patterns have been implicated in disease pathologies, especially in tumor progression, where mucins modulate immune_responses and also promote proliferation through biomechanical mechanisms13-15. Instead of the more traditional categorization of the glycoproteome into Nand O-glycoproteins (both of which are represented by mucindomain glycoproteins), it is logical to parse the glycoproteome into the mucinome, a family of glycoproteins whose mucin domains make them functionally related. This gives StcE both the selectivity needed to specifically bind mucin domains and the breadth to bind diverse mucin . . .
