FREE N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE IN MARSUPIAL SEMEN [PDF]
Reproduction, 1974 Appreciable quantities of a compound, now identified as N-acetylglucosamine, have been found in deproteinized, deionized aqueous extracts of the seminal plasma of the red kangaroo (Megaleia rufa), tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii), grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) and the ventral segment ofthe two segmented prostate gland (Rodger & Hughes, 1973) of ...

Substrate Channel Flexibility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa MurB Accommodates Two Distinct Substrates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Biosynthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid in bacteria is a committed step towards peptidoglycan production. In an NADPH- and FAD-dependent reaction, the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-enolpyruvate reductase (MurB) reduces UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-enolpyruvate to ...

N-Acetylglucosamine Selectively Attenuates Neuroinflammation in a Mouse Model of Mitochondrial Dysfunction. [PDF]
Acta Physiol (Oxf)ABSTRACT Aim Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, yet the temporal sequence of cellular events underlying neurodegeneration remains poorly defined. This study aimed to characterize the progression of neurodegeneration in a mouse model of fatal mitochondrial encephalopathy and to evaluate the therapeutic

Hydrocarbon Rulers in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine Acyltransferases [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 UDP-GlcNAc acyltransferase (LpxA), the first enzyme of lipid A biosynthesis, catalyzes the transfer of an acyl chain activated on acyl carrier protein (ACP) to UDP-GlcNAc. LpxAs are very selective for the lengths of their acyl donor substrates.
