Glycosylation in the thyroid gland : vital aspects of glycoprotein function in thyrocyte physiology and thyroid disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The key proteins responsible for hormone synthesis in the thyroid are glycosylated. Oligosaccharides strongly affect the function of glycosylated proteins.

Inhibition of Delta-induced Notch signaling using fucose analogs

open access: yesNature Chemical Biology, 2017
Notch is a cell-surface receptor that controls cell fate decisions and is regulated by O-glycans attached to epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats in its extracellular domain.

Fucose: A biomarker in grading of oral cancer

open access: yesNational Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2015
Early diagnosis of cancer helps a great deal in the management of oral cancer patients. Number of proteinous markers have been employed for this purpose. Majority of them are not specific. Recently conjugated oligosaccharide with proteins and lipids have gained considerable importance in the present postgenomics and postproteomic period in the ...

Akkermansia muciniphila‐derived hypoacylated rough‐type lipopolysaccharides alleviate diet‐induced obesity via activation of TLR4−IL‐23−IL‐22 immune axis

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that hypoacylated, rough‐type lipopolysaccharides (LPS) derived from Akkermansia muciniphila strain HW07 (ALPS) alleviates diet‐induced obesity. ALPS acts as a weak TLR4 agonist and significantly reduces weight gain, improves metabolic parameters, and restores gut barrier integrity in obese mice.

Mannose–fucose recognition by DC-SIGN

open access: yes, 2010
Dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN). DC-SIGN is a C-type lectin receptor that recognizes N-linked high-mannose oligosaccharides and branched fucosylated structures. It is now clear that the biological role of DC-SIGN is two-fold.

Acute Toxicity and Genotoxicity of cMoL, a Lectin From Moringa oleifera Seeds With Antifungal Activity Against Cryptococcus Strains

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) is one of the compounds involved in the application of M. oleifera seeds for traditional water treatment methods. The present study highlights the new biotechnological potential of cMoL lectin as an antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans B3501 and H99 and Cryptococcus gattii R265 strains ...

Characterization of Newly Discovered Polyester Polyurethane‐Degrading Methylobacterium aquaticum Strain A1

open access: yesJournal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we present Methylobacterium aquaticum A1, a novel strain capable of degrading polyester polyurethane (PE‐PUR). The attachment of M. aquaticum A1 to PE‐PUR and its degradation capabilities were verified using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR).

The Arabidopsis Golgi-localized GDP-L-fucose transporter is required for plant development

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Nucleotide sugar transport across Golgi membranes is essential for the luminal biosynthesis of glycan structures. Here we identify GDP-fucose transporter 1 (GFT1), an Arabidopsis nucleotide sugar transporter that translocates GDP-L-fucose into the Golgi ...

Production and fate of macroalgal carbon in the ocean: How much do macroalgal organics matter?

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Global carbon sequestration by macroalgae is hypothesized to rival rates in other blue carbon ecosystems. However, quantifying macroalgal carbon sequestration is challenging as it is hypothesized to occur outside macroalgal ecosystems, with 73% of sequestration occurring when dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is exported to deep ocean waters.
