Research

1. Development of an apparatus for rapid release of oligosaccharides from glycoproteins and analysis of mucin-type glycans
2. Comprehensive analysis of oligosaccharides of cellular glycoproteins
3. Identification of disease related glycans in blood and tissue that represent potentially useful glycobiomarkers for the early diagnosis
4. Combinatorial biosynthesis of useful oligosaccharides for glycomics research


Introduction

 The post-genomic research era has now been launched and science has become more concerned with the proteomic approach, including the post-translational modification of proteins. However, most proteome projects have not adequately discussed the analytical and functional details of the glycosylation of proteins, lipids and proteoglycans. Therefore in order to understand biology, the introduction of concept of a more integrated form of glycobiology and glycotechnology, called "glycomics" seems appropriate. This field of research will focus on the analytical details of glycosylation as well as the functional details of glycosylation.
 To understand complex life systems, it is essential to study glycan structures and functions from a genome-wide viewpoint. Our objectives are to develop useful technologies for glycomics research, construct new technologies for glycomics. Specifically, it includes the development of an automatic glycan-releasing apparatus “AutoGlycoCutter”, and the further improvement of “AutoGlycoCutter” into a high-throughput type to more rapidly and sensitively analyze O-linked glycans. Based on expression patterns and structural analyses, we investigate the relationship between disorders and structural changes of the glycans. Using this information, we aim to develop biomarkers that are specific to glycans and glycoproteins.
