The ABC Transporter Components HgdB and HgdC are Important for Glycolipid Layer Composition and Function of Heterocysts in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

Life, 2018
Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is a filamentous cyanobacterium able to fix atmospheric nitrogen in semi-regularly spaced heterocysts. For correct heterocyst function, a special cell envelope consisting of a glycolipid layer and a polysaccharide layer is essential.

Glycosphingolipids of the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Aspergillus nidulans is a well-established nonpathogenic laboratory model for the opportunistic mycopathogen, A. fumigatus. Some recent studies have focused on possible functional roles of glycosphingolipids (GSLs) in these fungi.

Characterization of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis membrane microdomains, and their role in macrophage infectivity

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) from Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis promastigotes, insoluble in 1% Triton X-100 at 4°C, were fractionated by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation.

A Glycolipid Adjuvant, 7DW8-5, Enhances the Protective Immune Response to the Current Split Influenza Vaccine in Mice

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Vaccination is an effective strategy to control influenza disease. Adjuvants enhance the efficacy of vaccines, but few adjuvants are approved for human use, so novel, safe, and effective adjuvants are urgently needed.

Incorporation of Novel Synthetic Glycolipids in Liposomal Nanoparticles Affects Opsonization and In Vivo Clearance

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We prepared five glycosylated liposomal nanoparticles (G‐LNPs) to investigate the role of glycosylation and protein corona in modulating the in vivo behavior of G‐LNPs. We show that IgG and complement C3 adsorption enhanced liposomal nanoparticle clearance, with IgG promoting subsequent C3 binding.

Fluorogenic Coupled Assays Reveal Catalytic Properties, Inhibition Constants and Cellular Location of Mucin‐Active Carbohydrate Sulfatases

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report plate‐based coupled assays to rapidly and quantitatively determine the activity and selectivity of mucin‐active carbohydrate sulfatases. This fluorogenic assay further enables inhibitor identification and allows determination of (sub‐)cellular location. ABSTRACT Sulfated glycans play a central role in human health and influence cell signaling,

A ceramide analogue (PDMP) inhibits glycolipid synthesis in fish embryos [PDF]

, 1992
Glycolipids were depleted from medaka embryos using 1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PDMP), an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthetase.

CdsA is involved in biosynthesis of glycolipid MPIase essential for membrane protein integration in vivo [PDF]

, 2019
MPIase is a glycolipid that is involved in membrane protein integration. Despite evaluation of its functions in vitro, the lack of information on MPIase biosynthesis hampered verification of its involvement in vivo. In this study, we found that depletion

Determination of lipid-bound sulfate by ion chromatography and its application to quantification of sulfolipids from kidneys of various mammalian species

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
A variety of procedures have been developed for determining the sulfate ester content of various biomolecules. Ion chromatography (IC), that is, quantitation of ionic substances by ion conductimetry after separation by anion-exchange chromatography, has ...
