Cytotoxicity of Candida albicans Mannan in Macrophages [PDF]

Mannan of Candida albicans NIH A-207 strain induced cytotoxic activity in RAW264.7 cells, a murine macrophage cell line, but not in U937 cells, a human monocyte cell line. The mannan greatly increased TNF-α production in RAW264.7 cells.

How do collective identities influence sector‐wide digital transformations? Insights from the European cooperative sector

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper applies the multilevel perspective (MLP) theory to investigate how collective identities influence sector‐wide digital transformations, focusing on the cooperative sector in Europe. By employing a wide mix of primary and secondary data from platform and incumbent cooperatives, our analysis showed that collective identities ...

Conformational studies of linear β-D-1,4'-mannan and galactan

, 1970
The nonbonded interaction energy of disaccharides, mannobiose and galactobiose and polysaccharides mannan and galactan have been computed as a function of dihedral angles (φ,Ψ).

Human gut Bacteroidetes can utilize yeast mannan through a selfish mechanism [PDF]

, 2015
Yeasts, which have been a component of the human diet for at least 7000 years, possess an elaborate cell wall α-mannan. The influence of yeast mannan on the ecology of the human microbiota is unknown.

Cryo‐EM structure of GH43 β‐Xylosidase from Enterobacter cloacae provides insights into substrate specificity and the role of an auxiliary domain in enzymatic activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Xylan, the second most abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, is degraded by β‐xylanases and β‐xylosidases. Here, we present the 2.65 Å cryo‐EM structure of Enterobacter cloacae β‐xylosidase (EcXyl43, GH43) and the 2.4 Å X‐ray structure of its inactive F507A mutant.

SYNTHESIS OF ANTIMONY COMPLEXES OF YEAST MANNAN AND MANNAN DERIVATIVES AND THEIR EFFECT ON LEISHMANIA-INFECTED MACROPHAGES

, 1993
Antimony(Sb)-yeast mannan complexes were synthesized as a strategy to introduce Sb into macrophages infected with Leishmania amastigotes. The complexes were taken up by endocytosis after specific recognition by alpha-D-mannosyl receptors on the ...

The Role of Soluble Polysaccharides in Tannin-Cell Wall Interactions in Model Solutions and in Wines

Biomolecules, 2019
The interactions between tannins and soluble and insoluble cell wall components are, in part, responsible for the low quantities of tannins found in wines compared with the quantities in grapes.
