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.

Application of novel analytical ultracentrifuge analysis to solutions of fungal mannans [PDF]
, 2016 Polysaccharides, the most abundant biopolymers, are required for a host of activities in lower organisms, animals, and plants. Their solution characterization is challenging due to their complex shape, heterogeneity, and size.

Serological Specificity of Yeast Mannan [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1969 SUMMARY: Soluble serologically active preparations extracted by various methods from Saccharomyces spp. showed the group specificity previously detected by agglutination tests with whole cells. The antigenic properties of the four serological groups of the genus Saccharomyces are probably determined by the cell wall mannan.

Phosphomannosyl receptors may participate in the adhesive interaction between lymphocytes and high endothelial venules. [PDF]
, 1984 Normal and malignant lymphocytes can migrate from the bloodstream into lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. This process helps distribute normal lymphocytes throughout the lymphoid system and may provide a portal of entry for circulating malignant cells.

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 ...
