Characterization of a Novel C-type Lectin against OsHV-1 infection in Scapharca broughtonii
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2022 As important pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), most C-type lectins (CTLs) are a class of Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins that are found to be involved in non-self-recognition and antiviral process. In this study, a new CTL, named SbCTL,

Insight into Potential Probiotic Markers Predicted in Lactobacillus pentosus MP-10 Genome Sequence
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Lactobacillus pentosus MP-10 is a potential probiotic lactic acid bacterium originally isolated from naturally fermented Aloreña green table olives. The entire genome sequence was annotated to in silico analyze the molecular mechanisms involved in the ...

Metagenomics analysis reveals features unique to Indian distal gut microbiota.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Various factors including diet, age, geography, culture and socio-economic status have a role in determining the composition of the human gut microbiota. The human gut microbial composition is known to be altered in disease conditions.

Promiscuity of the Euonymus Carbohydrate-Binding Domain
Biomolecules, 2012 Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the ‘classical’ plant lectins

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
