Expression and β-glucan binding properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) antimicrobial protein (Sp-AMP)

open access: yesPlant Molecular Biology, 2011
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) secretes a number of small, highly-related, disulfide-rich proteins (Sp-AMPs) in response to challenges with fungal pathogens such as Heterobasidion annosum, although their biological role has been unknown. Here, we examined the expression patterns of these genes, as well as the structure and function of the encoded ...

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

A Synthetic β‐Mannan Epitope Enables Immunization and Detection of Candida auris

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A synthetic β‐mannan epitope enables both active and passive immunization against Candida auris. Conjugation to the carrier protein CRM197 induces protective antibody responses, while monoclonal antibodies targeting the same epitope support detection using a lateral flow assay, linking glycochemistry with antifungal prevention and diagnostics ...

Oral Nanomicelle‐Mediated Sequential Butyrate Production in the Intestine for Ulcerative Colitis and Immunosuppression Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
After oral administration, inodorous GLU‐BA self‐assembles into nanomicelles in aqueous environments to resist premature gastric adsorption. Upon reaching the intestine, endogenous esterases rapidly cleave the built‐in ester bonds in these nanomicelles to release BA and GLU, with GLU further metabolized by gut microbiota to gradually generate BA ...

Carbohydrate‐Mediated Cellular Uptake of Boronic Acid Hybrids In Cellulo and Insulin‐Deficient Zebrafish: Live Imaging and Application of Multiphoton FLIM

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Boronic acid‐based fluorescent hybrids have been used as part of a versatile platform for real‐time metabolic bioimaging across cellular and organismal scales. Including glucose‐responsive imaging in living cells and in an insulin‐deficient vertebrate model, this work opens new opportunities for the development of precision diagnostics, metabolic ...

Effect of dietary β‐glucan supplementation on growth performance, body composition, intestinal microbes, and capacity against pathogen of golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus, family Carangidae)

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society
The efficacy of dietary β‐glucan supplementation in golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus) was evaluated. The fish were fed five different diets supplemented with 0%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.20%, and 0.40% β‐glucan for 56 days.
