Mucus is more than just a physical barrier for trapping oral microorganisms

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2020
Mucus is thought to serve as a protective coating on wet epithelial surfaces. Recent research has shown that glycans, which are branched sugar molecules found in mucin, a part of mucus, can prevent bacteria from communicating with each other and forming ...

The Suitability of Orthogonal Hosts to Study Plant Cell Wall Biosynthesis

Plants, 2019
Plant cells are surrounded by an extracellular matrix that consists mainly of polysaccharides. Many molecular components involved in plant cell wall polymer synthesis have been identified, but it remains largely unknown how these molecular players ...

Mucin-derived sugars act as metabolic brakes controlling growth initiation in Akkermansia muciniphila

Gut Microbes
Akkermansia muciniphila is a key member of the gut microbiota and plays important roles in host metabolism and health. In the colon, A. muciniphila extracts nutrients from oligosaccharide-rich mucin glycans that comprise the mucosa.

Knockdown of N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase-II Reduces Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 Activity and Suppresses Tumorigenicity in Neuroblastoma Cell Line

Biology, 2020
Neuroblastoma (NB) development and progression are accompanied by changes in N-glycans attached to proteins. Here, we investigated the role of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-II (GnTII, MGAT2) protein substrates in neuroblastoma (NB) cells.

Studies on the biosynthesis of ABH and Lewis epitopes on O-glycans

, 2006
ABH and Lewis antigens are carbohydrate epitopes (glycans) found on a wide variety of cell surfaces. They are involved in many biological processes, e.g transplantation rejection, bacterial and viral adhesion, cell-cell communication and metastasis.
