Maternal fucosyltransferase 2 status affects the gut bifidobacterial communities of breastfed infants. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundIndividuals with inactive alleles of the fucosyltransferase 2 gene (FUT2; termed the 'secretor' gene) are common in many populations. Some members of the genus Bifidobacterium, common infant gut commensals, are known to consume 2'-fucosylated ...

Neutron Crystallography Study of Host–Pathogen Recognition Enhanced by Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange on Carbohydrates

ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2026.
Neutron macromolecular crystallography enabled by deuteration of biomolecules reveals how the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa utilizes calcium‐dependent lectin for binding to human sugars. Neutron diffraction on the complex highlights hydrogen bond network, protonation of amino acids and role of calcium ion.

Perinatal Gut Dysbiosis Reduces Milk Oligosaccharides via LPS‐Mediated Gut–Mammary Signaling in Mice

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Maternal gut dysbiosis elevates Gram‐negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which enters circulation and accumulates in mammary tissue. This compromises the blood–milk barrier and suppresses key enzymatic genes, ultimately reducing milk oligosaccharide synthesis and potentially affecting neonatal gut microbiota through breastfeeding.

Hypofucosylation of Unc5b regulated by Fut8 enhances macrophage emigration and prevents atherosclerosis

Cell & Bioscience, 2023
Background Atherosclerosis (AS) is the leading underlying cause of the majority of clinical cardiovascular events. Retention of foamy macrophages in plaques is the main factor initiating and promoting the atherosclerotic process. Our previous work showed

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 2, Page 107-127, March 2026.
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

Core fucosylation of IL-2RB is required for natural killer cell homeostasis

Cell Reports
Summary: Natural killer (NK) cell homeostasis and effector functions require context-dependent signaling via numerous receptors, including the interleukin-15 receptor (IL-15R).

Genome‐wide association and haplotype analyses reveal genetic architecture of seed dormancy in grain sorghum with implications for preharvest sprouting tolerance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS), triggered primarily by wet or humid conditions at maturity and further influenced by temperature, causes premature grain germination in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), reducing yield and grain quality. To elucidate the genetic architecture of seed dormancy and germination responses related to PHS tolerance ...

Prognostic role of FUT8 expression in relation to p53 status in stage II and III colorectal cancer.

PLoS ONE, 2018
The expression of fucosyltransferase 8, an enzyme responsible for core fucosylation encoded by FUT8, influences tumor biology and correlates with patient prognosis in several solid cancers.

Norovirus Infection and Disease in an Ecuadorian Birth Cohort: Association of Certain Norovirus Genotypes With Host FUT2 Secretor Status. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Although norovirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis, there are few data on the community incidence of infection/disease or the patterns of acquired immunity or innate resistance to norovirus.

Biochemical characterization of xyloglucan galactosyltransferases MUR3 and XLT2 from Spirodela polyrhiza

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
SUMMARY Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the primary enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of the complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls. Given the important role of GTs in plants, it is necessary to undertake their functional characterization to better understand plant cell wall synthesis pathways to develop improved feedstocks for efficient ...
