Display of the human mucinome with defined O-glycans by gene engineered cells

Mucins play critical roles in maintaining the human microbiome, with their O-glycosylated tandem repeats (TRs) providing important cues for microbiota. Here, the authors develop a cellular platform for producing TRs with defined O-glycan structures to dissect the functions of TR O-glycosylation.
