Structural and functional characterization of the newly identified Photorhabdus laumondii tumor necrosis factor‐like lectin

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We characterize the PLTL lectin from Photorhabdus laumondii, which adopts a unique TNF‐like fold. Binding assays reveal a preference for branched histo‐blood group oligosaccharides. Protein crystallography uncovers a novel hexameric assembly and identifies key residues involved in carbohydrate recognition.

A direct-sensing galactose chemoreceptor recently evolved in invasive strains of Campylobacter jejuni

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Some virulent strains of Campylobacter jejuni possess a putative chemotaxis receptor, Tlp11, of unknown function. Here the authors show that Tlp11 specifically interacts with galactose and is required for the chemotaxis response of C. jejunito galactose.

Dimerization‐dependent NOTCH receptor transactivation unveils a class of highly selective NOTCH signalling inhibitors

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
NOTCH signalling is indispensable for tissue homeostasis and, consequently, corruption of its normal function promotes numerous diseases, including cancer. However, the development of targeted therapies has been hampered by inefficacy and overt toxicity. Here, we show that NOTCH receptor dimerization is necessary for receptor transactivation, which has

Integrated Glycome Strategy for Characterization of Aberrant LacNAc Contained N-Glycans Associated With Gastric Carcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2019
Aberrant glycosylation is not only a feature of malignant cell transformation, but also plays an important role in metastasis. In the present study, an integrated strategy combining the lectin microarrays and lectin cytochemistry was employed to ...

Inhibition of Hypersialylation in Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Modulates Inflammation and Metabolism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
Glycosylation, specifically hypersialylation, is identified as a critical factor in human intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration—a major cause of low back pain. This study demonstrates that inhibiting sialylation reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in IVD tissues, suggesting new therapeutic possibilities.
