Dr. Harry Schachter
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Keywords: Complex carbohydrates, enzymes, biosynthesis, glycoproteins, cell surfaces
Dr. Schachter's major concern has been the biological synthesis, by enzymes (glycosyltransferases), of complex carbohydrates, important and unique components of all cell surfaces. He is a major figure in the field, through his research, his guidance of graduate students, and his lectures and written reviews. He was a pioneer with many unique contributions, including the first to localize these enzymes in the Golgi apparatus, thereby pointing to its important role in glycosylation, and the first to systematically isolate and characterize key glycosyltransferases (ten of them) involved in glycan branching and core synthesis, and to delineate the rules which control the synthesis of these highly complex structures. The biochemistry and molecular biology of these enzymes has since become a major field of study by his laboratory and others interested in the functions of complex carbohydrates and in the development of new therapeutic approaches to cancer metastasis, inflammation and other areas of medicine.
