Nasal immunization with Streptococcus mutans membrane vesicles and eggshell-derived hydroxyapatites elicits enhanced antigen-specific mucosal IgA responses

Scientific Reports
Nasal vaccines characterized by secretory IgA (SIgA) induction are effective in preventing mucosal infection. SIgA induction is potentiated by mucosal adjuvants, and the exploration of new safe and effective candidates is important.

Biochemical and in silico characterization of glycosyltransferases from red sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) reveals their broad specificity toward phenolic substrates

Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences
Polyphenolic compounds are a class of phytonutrients that play important roles in plants and contribute to human health when incorporated into our diet through fruit consumption. A large proportion occur as glycoconjugates but the enzymes responsible for

Galectins induced from hemocytes bridge phosphatidylserine and N-glycosylated Drpr/CED-1 receptor during dendrite pruning

Nature Communications
During neuronal pruning, phagocytes engulf shed cellular debris to avoid inflammation and maintain tissue homeostasis. How phagocytic receptors recognize degenerating neurites had been unclear. Here, we identify two glucosyltransferases Alg8 and Alg10 of

Cloning, Expression, and Biochemical Characterization of Recombinant Putative Glucosyltransferases Clone 3 and 8 from Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) [PDF]

, 2012
The grapefruit plant, Citrus paradisi, tends to accumulate high levels of flavonoid glycosides such as flavanones and flavones. Flavonoids have a vast array of important functions in plants and also in humans.

Exogenously added naphthols induce three glucosyltransferases, and are accumulated as glucosides in tobacco cells

, 2015
Plants detoxify and accumulate several compounds as glucosides. In this work, detoxification of the exogenously added harmful compound naphthol in tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum L. Bright Yellow) was studied.
