Variable Domain N-Linked Glycans Acquired During Antigen-Specific Immune Responses Can Contribute to Immunoglobulin G Antibody Stability

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) can contain N-linked glycans in the variable domains, the so-called Fab glycans, in addition to the Fc glycans in the CH2 domains.

Automated Inference of Production Rules for Glycans

, 2021
Glycans are tree-like polymers made up of sugar monomer building blocks. They are found on the surface of all living cells, and distinct glycan trees act as identity markers for distinct cell types.

Nucleoside‐Modified mRNA Encoding Alpha‐Galactosidase A Ameliorates Fabry Disease Phenotypes in Human IPSC‐Derived Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human iPSC‐derived Fabry cardiomyocytes exhibited broad transcriptional dysregulation, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired reactive oxygen species handling, altered contractility, and abnormal calcium transient decay, potentially mediated by phospholamban hyperphosphorylation.

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.

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 ...

Canonical Antibodies Adopt Distinct Binding Modes to Recognize Viral Glycan Shields

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Canonical Y‐shaped antibodies recognize viral glycan shields through adaptive Fab assembly states shaped by glycan organization and somatic hypermutation. Structural analyses ofbroadly neutralizing antibodies VRC35 and VRC36 across glycoproteins of HIV‐1, influenza, SARS‐CoV‐2, and Lassa viruses reveal distinct Fab assembly states, spanning monovalent,

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 ...

Photobiomodulation‑Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Neural Differentiation via UFL1‑Mediated UFMylation in Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulated microglia release engineered extracellular vesicles that deliver UFL1 to the injured spinal cord. UFL1 competitively binds p53 with MDM2, inhibiting p53 ubiquitination and stabilizing p53 signaling. This dual mechanism simultaneously promotes anti‐inflammatory microglial polarization and directs neural stem cell differentiation toward

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.
