Intracellular glycosylation: A QUICtag for GlcNAc
A new combination of tagging, isotope labeling and peptide fragmentation by electron transfer enables the analysis of N–acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) glycosylation dynamics and identification of GlcNAcylated protein sites.

The DC-SIGN receptor can promote two distinct cellular responses when activated: increasing NF-
B activity through acetylation by stimulating the Ras/Raf-1 pathway, and Rho GTPase activation through binding to the Rho GEF LARG.Original research paper: Immunity 26, 605-616 (2007)
