Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis of Bombella intestini LMG 28161T, a Novel Acetic Acid Bacterium Isolated from the Crop of a Red-Tailed Bumble Bee, Bombus lapidarius. [PDF]
The whole-genome sequence of Bombella intestini LMG 28161T, an endosymbiotic acetic acid bacterium (AAB) occurring in bumble bees, was determined to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying its metabolic capabilities.

Genome sequence and Carbohydrate Active Enzymes (CAZymes) repertoire of the thermophilic Caldicoprobacter algeriensis TH7C1T [PDF]
Background Omics approaches are widely applied in the field of biology for the discovery of potential CAZymes including whole genome sequencing. The aim of this study was to identify protein encoding genes including CAZymes in order to understand glycans-

Structural similarity of the terminal carbohydrate sequences of glycoproteins and glycolipids [PDF]
The carbohydrate chains of animal cell membranes are covalently lmked to either protein or lipid. Both glycoproteins and glycohprds are asymmetrically onented m cell membranes, with then saccharide chains projecting outwards from the membrane [ 13. The carbohydrate chains of both classes of glycocomugates have been suggested to be involved in many cell

The amino acid sequence of a carbohydrate-containing fragment of hen ovotransferrin. [PDF]
1. Hen ovotransferrin was treated with CNBr and fractionated by gel filtration. 2. After further treatment by reduction and carboxymethylation a carbohydrate-containing fragment of molecular weight 11990 was obtained (fragment BCd). 3. The amino acid sequence of this fragment was determined. It consists of a single chain of 94 residues. 4.

The carbohydrate sequence markup language (CabosML): an XML description of carbohydrate structures [PDF]
Bioinformatics resources for glycomics are very poor as compared with those for genomics and proteomics. The complexity of carbohydrate sequences makes it difficult to define a common language to represent them, and the development of bioinformatics tools for glycomics has not progressed.

Carbohydrate sequence of a soybean 7S protein.
The sequences of three Asn-carbohydrates, IIa, Asn(GlcNAc)2-(Man)9; IIb, Asn(GlcNAc)2(Man)8; and IIc, Asn(GlcNAc)2(Man)7 isolated from the pronase digest of a 7S soybean protein (β-conglycinin) were investigated. In each case, methylation analysis of the Asn-carbohydrates gave 3, 6-di-O-methyl derivative from the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue, and 2, 3,

The Carbohydrate Sequence of the Glycopeptide Chains of Human Transferrin
Abstract The two heterosaccharide chains of human transferrin have been isolated as two glycopeptides, one of which contained asparagine as its sole amino acid residue while the other contained asparagine, glycine, serine, and, occasionally, threonine.

Fluorosugar Chain Termination Agents as Probes of the Sequence Specificity of a Carbohydrate Polymerase [PDF]
Naturally occurring carbohydrate polymers are ubiquitous. They are assembled by polymerizing glycosyltransferases, which can generate polysaccharide products with repeating sequence patterns. The fidelity of enzymes of this class is unknown. We report a method for testing the fidelity of carbohydrate polymerase pattern deposition: we synthesized ...

Acetylated glucuronoxylan is one of the most common types of hemicellulose in nature. The structure is formed by a β-(1→4)-linked D-xylopyranosyl (Xylp) backbone that can be substituted with an acetyl group at O-2 and O-3 positions, and α-(1→2)-linked 4 ...

Sequence and structural features of carbohydrate binding in proteins and assessment of predictability using a neural network [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Protein-Carbohydrate interactions are crucial in many biological processes with implications to drug targeting and gene expression. Nature of protein-carbohydrate interactions may be studied at individual residue level by analyzing local ...
