Primate-Specific Regulation of the Human Glycosphingolipid Gatekeeper UGCG
Researchers have elucidated the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of full-length human UGCG. This crucial enzyme acts as a gatekeeper, controlling the extent and variety of glycosphingolipids. The study reveals that UGCG employs a catalytic mechanism that does not require metal ions, but instead relies on an arginine network to drive its function.
