O-Linked Glycans of Candida albicans Interact with Specific GPCRs in the Coronary Endothelium and Inhibit the Cardiac Response to Agonists

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that may cause invasive infections in immunocompromised patients, disseminating through the bloodstream to other organs.

Composition of Polysaccharides in Hull-Less Barley Sourdough Bread and Their Impact on Physical Properties of Bread

Foods, 2022
The complex of polysaccharides of the grain transforms during processing and modifies the physical and chemical characteristics of bread. The aim of the research was to characterize the changes of glucans, mannans and fructans in hull-less barley and ...

MICROWAVE AND ULTRASONIC TREATMENT AS A PRELIMINARY STAGE OF OBTAINING WATER-SOLUBLE MANNAN FROM COFFEE SLUDGE

Harčova Nauka ì Tehnologìâ, 2023
In recent years, interest in immunocorrectors of natural origin has increased significantly. Among them is a group of polysaccharides such as mannans. Mannans are polysaccharides composed of D-mannose residues as the main chain.

Pyrogenicity of Yeast Mannans in Rabbits [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 1984
AbstractA few yeast mannans free from protein and phosphorus showed pyrogenic activity in rabbits although the extent of this activity was considerably lower than that of the bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The pyrogenic activity was not abolished by treatment with sodium deoxycholate. This result showed that the mannans themselves participated in

Role of Protein Glycosylation in Candida parapsilosis Cell Wall Integrity and Host Interaction

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Candida parapsilosis is an important, emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen. Highly mannosylated fungal cell wall proteins are initial contact points with host immune systems.

Functional exploration of the glycoside hydrolase family GH113.

PLoS ONE, 2022
β-Mannans are a heterogeneous group of polysaccharides with a common main chain of β-1,4-linked mannopyranoside residues. The cleavage of β-mannan chains is catalyzed by glycoside hydrolases called β-mannanases.

Disruption of Protein Mannosylation Affects Candida guilliermondii Cell Wall, Immune Sensing, and Virulence

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The fungal cell wall contains glycoproteins that interact with the host immune system. In the prominent pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, Pmr1 acts as a Golgi-resident ion pump that provides cofactors to mannosyltransferases, regulating the synthesis of

Role of Protein Mannosylation in the Candida tropicalis-Host Interaction

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Mannans are components of the fungal wall attached to proteins via N- or O-linkages. In Candida albicans, Och1 is an α1,6-mannosyltransferase that adds the first mannose unit to the N-linked mannan outer chain; whereas Pmr1 is an ion pump that imports ...

Evolution and functional characterization of CAZymes belonging to subfamily 10 of glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5_10) in two species of phytophagous beetles. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Hemicelluloses, such as xyloglucan, xylan and mannans, consist of a heterogeneous array of plant-derived polysaccharides that form the plant cell wall.
