Jj. Barchi et al., GLYCOSYLATION OF THE ACTIVE SEQUENCE SER-ILE-LYS-VAL-ALA-VAL FROM THEALPHA-1 CHAIN OF LAMININ REDUCES TUMOR-CELL ATTACHMENT ACTIVITY, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(7), 1995, pp. 711-714
N-terminal serine O-glycopeptides of SIKVAV-, a sequence located on th
e long arm of the alpha 1 chain of laminin, were synthesized to study
the effect of glycosylation on the adhesive properties of this biologi
cally relevant peptide. The data show that covalently linked carbohydr
ates decrease the cell-attachment activity in a structurally dependent
manner.
