Ferrets exclusively synthesize Neu5Ac and express naturally humanized influenza A virus receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mammals express the sialic acids ​N-acetylneuraminic acid (​Neu5Ac) and ​N-glycolylneuraminic acid (​Neu5Gc) on cell surfaces, where they act as receptors for pathogens, including influenza A virus (IAV). ​Neu5Gc is synthesized from ​Neu5Ac by the enzyme

Evolutionary Glycomics: A Comprehensive Study of Vertebrate Host Serum/Plasma Glycome Using Orthogonal Glycomics Techniques

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2021
Eukaryotic Vertebrate host glycosylation machinery has been subject to immense evolutionary pressure. Besides, being crucial for host sustenance, glyco‐epitopes are also key‐regulators of inter‐species pathogen transmission. Significant evolutionary events such as loss of N‐glycolyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) or alpha Galactose (α‐Gal) epitopes in ...

TIR-Domain-Containing Adapter-Inducing Interferon-β (TRIF)-Dependent Antiviral Responses Protect Mice against Ross River Virus Disease

open access: yesmBio, 2022
Ross River virus (RRV) is the major mosquito-borne virus in the South Pacific region. RRV infections are characterized by arthritic symptoms, which can last from several weeks to months.

Glycomics and disease markers [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2009
Glycomics is the comprehensive study of all glycans expressed in biological systems. The biosynthesis of glycan relies on a number of highly competitive processes involving glycosyl transferases. Glycosylation is therefore highly sensitive to the biochemical environment and has been implicated in many diseases including cancer.

The Moraxella catarrhalis phase-variable DNA methyltransferase ModM3 is an epigenetic regulator that affects bacterial survival in an in vivo model of otitis media

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Moraxella catarrhalis is a leading cause of otitis media (OM) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). M. catarrhalis contains a Type III DNA adenine methyltransferase (ModM) that is phase-variably expressed (i.e., its expression is ...

Sialic acid and platelet count regulation: Implications in immune thrombocytopenia

open access: yesResearch and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2022
Platelets are blood components that survive in circulation for 7 to 10 days in humans. Thus, platelet production by bone marrow (BM) megakaryocytes (MKs), and their removal from the blood circulation is precisely orchestrated to maintain an average ...
