The hepta-β-glucoside elicitor-binding proteins from legumes represent a putative receptor family [PDF]

, 2000
The ability of legumes to recognize and respond to β-glucan elicitors by synthesizing phytoalexins is consistent with the existence of a membrane-bound β-glucan-binding site.

The Immunomodulatory Effect of β-Glucan Depends on the Composition of the Gut Microbiota

Foods, 2023
This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the immunomodulatory effects of β-glucan and the composition of gut microbiota in mice. The mice were fed a diet containing β-glucan for 3 weeks, and feces, blood, and tissues were then collected to ...

Soluble mannan and β-glucan inhibit the uptake ofMalassezia furfurby human monocytic cell line, THP-1 [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998
The uptake of live and heat-killed Malassezia furfur HIC 3321, HIC 3343 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 by human monocytic cell line, THP-1, was examined. THP-1 was differentiated by PMA for 7 days before use. The uptake of these yeasts by THP-1 was increased in a concentration-dependent manner of yeasts, and the uptake reached plateau level at the E/T

Effect of dietary β-glucan supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and characteristics of feces in weaned pigs

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
A total of 150 crossbred weaned pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] with an average body weight of 6.75 ± 0.49 kg were used in a 6-wk trial to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of β-glucan on growth performance, nutrient digestibility ...

β-glucans and eicosapolyenoic acids as MAMPs in plant–oomycete interactions: past and present [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Branched β-1,3-glucans and the eicosapolyenoic acids (EP) are among the best characterized oomycete elicitors that trigger innate immune responses in plants. These elicitors were identified over three decades ago, and they were useful in the study of the sequence of physiological, biochemical and molecular events that induce resistance in plants ...

Whole β-glucan particle attenuates AOM/DSS-induced colorectal tumorigenesis in mice via inhibition of intestinal inflammation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Yeast β-glucan is a polysaccharide purified from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall, and its multiple biological activities are essential for immune regulation.

The Dual Activity Responsible for the Elongation and Branching of β-(1,3)-Glucan in the Fungal Cell Wall

mBio, 2017
β-(1,3)-Glucan, the major fungal cell wall component, ramifies through β-(1,6)-glycosidic linkages, which facilitates its binding with other cell wall components contributing to proper cell wall assembly.

Cell-free protein synthesis of membrane (1,3)-beta-D-glucan (curdlan) synthase: Co-translational insertion in liposomes and reconstitution in nanodiscs [PDF]

, 2013
A membrane-embedded curdlan synthase (CrdS) from Agrobacterium is believed to catalyse a repetitive addition of glucosyl residues from UDP-glucose to produce the (1,3)-β-d-glucan (curdlan) polymer.

Analysis of mixed linkage β-glucan content and structure in different wheat flour milling fractions

, 2023
β-glucan is a dietary fibre component with health benefits that relate to its structure and solubility. The polysaccharide structure consists predominantly of β-(1–4) linked cellotriosyl (G3) and cellotetraosyl (G4) units joined together with β-(1,3 ...
