Analysis of the Effects of Dietary Pattern on the Oral Microbiome of Elite Endurance Athletes [PDF]

, 2019
Although the oral microbiota is known to play a crucial role in human health, there are few studies of diet x oral microbiota interactions, and none in elite athletes who may manipulate their intakes of macronutrients to achieve different metabolic ...

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

Finished Genome of the Fungal Wheat Pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola Reveals Dispensome Structure, Chromosome Plasticity, and Stealth Pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2011
The plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici) causes septoria tritici blotch, a disease that greatly reduces the yield and quality of wheat.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Transcriptome analyses reveal reduced hepatic lipid synthesis and accumulation in more feed efficient beef cattle [PDF]

, 2018
peer-reviewedThe genetic mechanisms controlling residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle are still largely unknown. Here we performed whole transcriptome analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and their functional roles in liver ...

Prediction of Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins from Sequences Using Support Vector Machines [PDF]

Advances in Bioinformatics, 2010
Carbohydrate-binding proteins are proteins that can interact with sugar chains but do not modify them. They are involved in many physiological functions, and we have developed a method for predicting them from their amino acid sequences. Our method is based on support vector machines (SVMs).

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

De novo assembly and characterization of the transcriptome of a wild edible mushroom Leucocalocybe mongolica and identification of SSR markers

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2017
Leucocalocybe mongolica is a prestigious rare wild edible mushroom in Northeast Asia. It is the unique species of the genus and the studying of its phynotype and genome is crucial to genus and species classification.

Structural similarity of the terminal carbohydrate sequences of glycoproteins and glycolipids [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1979
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
