Bacterial surface display of human lectins in Escherichia coli

Microbial Biotechnology
Lectin‐glycan interactions sustain fundamental biological processes involved in development and disease. Owing to their unique sugar‐binding properties, lectins have great potential in glycobiology and biomedicine.

Identification of OmpA-Like Protein of Tannerella forsythia as an O-Linked Glycoprotein and Its Binding Capability to Lectins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bacterial glycoproteins are associated with physiological and pathogenic functions of bacteria. It remains unclear whether bacterial glycoproteins can bind to specific classes of lectins expressed on host cells.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

Fluorinated Glycan Frameshifts: Automated Synthesis Expedites the Study of Glycan‐Protein Interactions by 19F‐BioNMR

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Given the prominence of 19F‐bioNMR in structural research, fluorinated glycans hold enormous potential in glycomimetic frameshift design. However, challenges associated with the stereocontrolled synthesis of these disruptive actors continue to frustrate advances. To address this, the automated synthesis of selectively C‐2 fluorinated glycans related to

Differential microorganism-induced mannose-binding lectin activation [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2003
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a serum complement factor playing a dominant role in first-line defense. When MBL binds to specific sugar moieties on microorganisms, the lectin complement pathway (LCP) is activated. Changes in the mbl gene and promotor may result in MBL with less activity, predisposing the individual to recurrent infections.

CD207‐Positive Dendritic Cells Promote Emphysema Through CD8+ T Cell Pathway in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CD207+ dendritic cells (DCs) drive emphysema by promoting CD8⁺ T cell cytotoxicity via Birbeck granule‐dependent MHC‐I antigen presentation. This DC subset is expanded by cigarette smoke‐induced oxidative stress, which triggers granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) release from airway epithelium.

Differences in the mannose oligomer specificities of the closely related lectins from Galanthus nivalis and Zea mays strongly determine their eventual anti-HIV activity

Retrovirology, 2011
Background In a recent report, the carbohydrate-binding specificities of the plant lectins Galanthus nivalis (GNA) and the closely related lectin from Zea mays (GNAmaize) were determined by glycan array analysis and indicated that GNAmaize recognizes ...
