Streptococcal glucan-binding lectins do not recognize methylated ?-1,6 glucans
Glycoconjugate Journal, 1995The glucan-binding lectin (GBL) of Streptococcus sobrinus is cell associated, enabling the bacteria to be aggregated by alpha-1,6 glucans. Glucans, such as amylose, pullulan, laminarin and nigeran, have no affinity for the lectin. High molecular weight alpha-1,6 glucans (dextrans) readily aggregate the bacteria, whereas low molecular weight glucans ...

Glucans as Immunological Adjuvants
1995β-1,3-Linked glucopyranose (β-glucan), a major structural component of yeast, fungi, and algae [1], has a wide range of biological activities. Systemic administration of β-glucan (1) provides nonspecific resistance in experimental animals against a variety of pathogenic challenges [2–7]; (2) prolongs the survival time of tumor-bearing animals [8,9]; (3)

1982
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the present state of knowledge on the structure and metabolism of the related glucan components of yeast cell walls. Many of the earlier structural studies involved commercial samples of pressed baker's yeast and, although these enabled the main structural features to be identified, they were of limited value ...

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1985
AbstractAspartate glucan, glycine glucan, and serine glucan obtained by reductive amination of oxalacetic acid, glyoxylic acid, and β‐hydroxypyruvic acid, respectively, with polyglucosamine were tested as chromatographic chelating media. Crosslinked glycine glucan exhibited high capacities for cobalt and copper, even in acidic solutions (pH 2.9 ...

The Glucan Binding Domain of the Streptococcus mutans Glucan Binding Protein
1997Streptococcus mutans is the major etiological agent in the development of smooth surface caries. The bacteria secrete glucosyltransferases (GTFs) that catalyze the breakdown of dietary sucrose to yield fructose for fermentative metabolism and glucose for the synthesis of glucan polymers.5 These glucans consist of α-1,3- and α-1,6-linkages and α-1,3,6 ...
