Abstract
The human ABO(H) blood group A- and B-synthesizing glycosyltransferases GTA and GTB have been structurally characterized to high resolution in complex with their respective trisaccharide antigen products. These findings are particularly timely and relevant given the dearth of glycosyltransferase structures collected in complex with their saccharide reaction products. GTA and GTB utilize the same acceptor substrates, oligosaccharides terminating with ?-l-Fucp-(1->2)-?-d-Galp-OR (where R is a glycolipid or glycoprotein), but use distinct UDP donor sugars, UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine and UDP-galactose, to generate the blood group A (?-l-Fucp-(1->2)[?-d-GalNAcp-(1->3)]-?-d-Galp-OR) and blood group B (?-l-Fucp-(1->2)[?-d-Galp-(1->3)]-?-d-Galp-OR) determinant structures, respectively. Structures of GTA and GTB in complex with their respective trisaccharide products reveal a conflict between the transferred sugar monosaccharide and the ?-phosphate of the UDP donor. Mapping of the binding epitopes by saturation transfer difference NMR measurements yielded data consistent with the X-ray structural results. Taken together these data suggest a mechanism of product release where monosaccharide transfer to the H-antigen acceptor induces active site disorder and ejection of the UDP leaving group prior to trisaccharide egress.

Abstract
Human blood group A and B glycosyltransferases (GTA, GTB) are highly homologous glycosyltransferases. A number of high-resolution crystal structures is available showing that these enzymes convert from an open conformation into a catalytically active closed conformation upon substrate binding. However, the mechanism of glycosyltransfer is still under debate,...

Molecular dynamics re-refinement of two different small RNA loop structures using the original NMR data suggest a common structure
Abstract Restrained molecular dynamics simulations are a robust, though perhaps underused, tool for the end-stage refinement of biomolecular structures. We demonstrate their utilityâ??using modern simulation protocols, optimized force fields, and inclusion of explicit solvent and mobile counterionsâ??by re-investigating the solution structures of two RNA hairpins that had previously been refined using conventional techniques. The structures, both domain 5...
