Carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction provides adhesion force and specificity for cellular recognition and adhesion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Carbohydrates at the cell surface have been proposed as mediators in cell-cell recognition events involved in embryogenesis, metastasis, and other proliferation processes by calcium-dependent carbohydrate to carbohydrate interactions.

Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 Invades Lotus burttii by Crack Entry in a Nod Factor–and Surface Polysaccharide–Dependent Manner

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2016
Sinorhizobium fredii HH103-Rifr, a broad host range rhizobial strain, induces nitrogen-fixing nodules in Lotus burttii but ineffective nodules in L. japonicus. Confocal microscopy studies showed that Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099 and S. fredii HH103-Rifr

The carbohydrate recognition domain of collectins [PDF]

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2011
Collectins are effector molecules of the innate immune system that play an important role in the first line of defence against bacteria, viruses and fungi. Most of their interactions with microorganisms are mediated through their carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), which binds in a Ca 2 ...

Differential regulation of the Epr3 receptor coordinates membrane-restricted rhizobial colonization of root nodule primordia

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
TheLotus japonicus LysM receptor kinase EPR3 perceives rhizobial exopolysaccharides to initiate infection of the root epidermis. Here the authors show that EPR3 also mediates infection thread progression in the root cortex and show that key transcription

The Response of IL-17-Producing B Cells to ArtinM Is Independent of Its Interaction with TLR2 and CD14

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
ArtinM, a d-mannose-binding lectin from Artocarpus heterophyllus, activates antigen-presenting cells by recognizing Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and cluster of differentiation (CD)14 N-glycans, induces cytokine production, and promotes type 1 T helper (Th1)

Prebiotic Peptides Based on the Glycocodon Theory Analyzed with FRET

open access: yesLife, 2021
In modern protein–carbohydrate interactions, carbohydrate–aromatic contact with CH–π interactions are used. Currently, they are considered driving forces of this complexation. In these contacts, tryptophan, tyrosine, and histidine are preferred.

Bile Acid Scaffolds in Supramolecular Chemistry: The Interplay of Design and Synthesis

open access: yesMolecules, 2007
Since early work in the 1980s, the bile acids have become well established as building blocks for supramolecular chemistry. The author’s laboratory has specialised in converting cholic acid, the archetypal bile acid, into macrocyclic and acyclic ...

Carbohydrate recognition systems in autoimmunity

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2006
The immune system is a complex functional network of diverse cells and soluble molecules orchestrating innate and adaptive immunity. Biological information, to run these intricate interactions, is not only stored in protein sequences but also in the structure of the glycan part of the glycoconjugates.
