Glycans in autophagy, endocytosis and lysosomal functions [PDF]
Glycans have been shown to function as versatile molecular signals in cells. This prompted us to look at their roles in endocytosis, endolysosomal system and autophagy. We start by introducing the cell biological aspects of these pathways, the concept of

Glycans and Glycan-Binding Proteins in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
AbstractComplex glycans are readily accessible on the endothelium and on cell and plasma components. They interact with glycan-binding proteins which translate their structure into function. Advanced analytical tools are available to investigate their structure and functional interactions.

Glycan profiling of the gut microbiota by Glycan-seq
Abstract Bacterial glycans modulate the cross talk between the gut microbiota and its host. However, little is known about these glycans because of the lack of appropriate technology to study them. In this study, we applied Glycan-seq technology for glycan profiling of the intact gut microbiota of mice. The evaluation of cultured gram-

Glycan Fingerprints: Calculating Diversity in Glycan Libraries [PDF]
Carbohydrate libraries printed in glycan micorarray format have had a great impact on the high-throughput analysis of the specificity of a wide range of mammalian, plant, and bacterial lectins. Chemical and chemo-enzymatic synthesis allows the construction of diverse glycan libraries but requires substantial effort and resources.

Glycan microarrays of fluorescently-tagged natural glycans [PDF]
This review discusses the challenges facing research in 'functional glycomics' and the novel technologies that are being developed to advance the field. The structural complexity of glycans and glycoconjugates makes studies of both their structures and recognition difficult. However, these intricate structures can be captured from their natural sources,

Cell-based glycan arrays for probing glycan–glycan binding protein interactions [PDF]
AbstractGlycan microarrays provide a high-throughput means of profiling the interactions of glycan-binding proteins with their ligands. However, the construction of current glycan microarray platforms is time consuming and expensive. Here, we report a fast and cost-effective method for the assembly of cell-based glycan arrays to probe glycan–glycan ...

Genetic knockout of porcine GGTA1 or CMAH/GGTA1 is associated with the emergence of neo-glycans
Background: Pig-derived tissues could overcome the shortage of human donor organs in transplantation. However, the glycans with terminal α-Gal and Neu5Gc, which are synthesized by enzymes, encoded by the genes GGTA1 and CMAH, are known to play a major ...

Structural feature of N-glycans of bamboo shoot glycoproteins: useful source of plant antigenic N-glycans [PDF]
An effective method to prepare plant complex type (PCT) N-glycans in large amounts has been required to evaluate their immunological activity. In this study, we found that glycoproteins in bamboo shoots predominantly carry PCT N-glycans including the ...
