Mannosyl Transfer in Cryptococcus laurentii

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1970
Abstract A particle-bound enzyme from the fungus imperfectus Cryptococcus laurentii var. flavescens (NRRL Y-1401) mediates transfer of mannosyl units from GDP-mannose to endogenous primer. The enzyme requires divalent cations for activity. The pH optimum is 7.5 and the apparent Km for GDP-mannose is 0.14 mm. A polysaccharide fraction that is associated

Presence and implication of Candida spp. in patients with peri‐implantitis enrolled in a supportive peri‐implant therapy program of the Basque Country (Spain). A case–control study

Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, Volume 25, Issue 5, Page 938-947, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction The peri‐implant sulcus is a good niche for infectious colonization such as Candida spp. In this study, the level of Candida spp. fungal colonization is analyzed in patients with peri‐implantitis under supportive peri‐implant therapy, as well as its correlation with the main clinicopathological data.

Heteroglycan Synthesis in Cryptococcus laurentii

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974
Abstract An enzyme preparation from Cryptococcus laurentii catalyzes the transfer of glycosyl units from sugar nucleotides to exogenous acceptor resulting in the stepwise synthesis of a heteroglycan with the following structure: 2-O-α-d-mannosyl-6-O-α-d-mannosyl-3-O-α-d-mannosyl-(2-O-β-d-xylosyl-)-d-mannose. The same enzyme preparation transfers d-[14C]

Multiple Mannosyl Transferases in Cryptococcus laurentii

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1971
A particle-bound enzyme preparation from the fungus imperfectus Cryptococcus laurentii var. flavescens (NRRL Y-1401) catalyzes transfer of mannosyl units from GDP-mannose to mono- and oligosaccharide acceptors. Four separate enzymes can be differentiated by some or all of the following criteria: pH optimum, Km values for GDP-mannose, acceptor ...
