| description | In this review, we summarize the current state of knowledge on the biosynthesis of carrageenan by exploring both the enzyme activities and their localizations. Genomic data, with the sequencing of the genome of Chondrus crispus and the first transcriptomic study into the life cycle stages of this organism, as well as fine carbohydrate structural determination of matrix glycans, provide leads in the study of carrageenan anabolism. Comparison to related carbohydrate-active enzymes, detailed phylogenies alongside classic histochemical studies and radioactivity assays, help predict the localization of the carrageenan-related enzyme biochemistries. Using these insights, we provide an updated model of carrageenan biosynthesis which contributes to understanding the ancestral pathway of sulfated polysaccharide biosynthesis in eukaryotes. |
