On the basis of Swiss-Prot data, over 50% proteins are known to undergo glycosylation, but in fact the actual functions of most of the sugar chains in the glycoconjugates remain unknown. The complex carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans represent the secondary gene products formed through the reactions of glycosyl transferases. The regulation of the biosynthesis of sugar chains is under the control of the expression of glycosyltransferases, their substrate specificity, and their local ization in specific tissue sites. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that these enzymes play pivotal roles in a variety of important cellular differentiation and developmental events, as well as in disease processes. Over 300 glycosyltransferases appear to exist in mammalian tissues. If the genes that have been purified and cloned from various species such as humans, cattle, pigs, rats and mice are counted as one, approximately 110 glycogenes that encode glycosyltransferases and related genes have been cloned at present, and this number continues to grow each day. However, most of the functions of the glycosyltransferase genes and related genes are unknown. This fact has stimulated numerous new and interesting approaches in molecular biologi cal investigations. The removal of a specific glycogene in knockout mice indicates that some of the glycosyltransferases are essential for survival, development, and oncogenesis. Exper iments using cells or animals that had been transfected with a specific glycosyltrans ferase gene show that these enzymes relate to cancer metastases, cellular invasion, and the suppression of xenoantigen expression. Although a number of excellent investi gations have been conducted, the issue of the real functions of glycoconjugates of interest remains to be elucidated. The reason for the difficulty in exploring the func tional significance of glycosyltransferase genes, or glycogenes, is that even if we are able to disrupt the gene and obtain phenotypic changes in mice, we cannot explain this as a consequence or a cause of disease. Moreover, and more importantly, we cannot identify the actual target protein(s) in vivo that may be affected by the lack of sugar chains. The phenotypic changes observed are actually not due to a disrupted glycogene but, rather, to the secondary effect of the glycogene which may affect the v VI Preface aberrant glycosylation of other glycoproteins. The same would be true for transgenic mice that overexpress specified glycogenes or for Congenital Disorders of Glycosyla tion (CGD) patients with various symptoms that cannot be explained via the mecha nism by which the symptoms appeared. In the future, therefore, the identification of target proteins in patients or in glycogene-disrupted animals is a prerequisite for understanding the real cause of the pathophysiology of diseases. The field of func tional glycomics focuses on carrying out this type of research. This handbook is useful for experimental design for this approach, which may identify the target molecules of such glycosyltransferases and related genes. The aim of this book is to provide comprehensive coverage of all glycosyltrans ferase genes and their related genes known at present. The nearly 100 chapters are designed to summarize the present knowledge of these enzymes. The presentations are brief and concise and are presented in a format that we hope will make compre hension of the data relatively easy for readers. More than fifty experts who have worked on their "pet" enzymes that were largely purified and/or cloned by their group have contributed chapters on individual glyco syltransferase genes and their related genes. We express our sincere thanks to all of them for their enormous effort and detailed work. We are particularly grateful for the assistance of the staff at Springer-Verlag Tokyo for their patience during the prepa ration of the original draft of this book and its editing.
