A Practical and Flexible De Novo Synthesis of Deoxygenated Carbasugars and Their Cyclitol Epoxides
A de novo synthesis route comprising enantioselective Brown crotylation and ring‐closing metathesis as the key steps enables the synthesis of a‐ and b‐carba‐paratose, a‐ and b‐carba‐colitose as well as four configurational deoxycyclophellitol isosteres.

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is an attractive source of carbon for the production of sugars and other chemicals. Due to its inherent complexity and heterogeneity, efficient biodegradation requires the actions of different types of hydrolytic enzymes. In

Reduced expression of alpha-1,2-mannosidase I extends lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Exposure to sub-lethal levels of stress, or hormesis, was a means to induce longevity. By screening for mutations that enhance resistance to multiple stresses, we identified multiple alleles of alpha-1,2-mannosidase I (mas1) which, in addition to ...

ABSTRACT Alpha‐mannosidosis (AM, OMIM# 248500), an ultra‐rare lysosomal storage disorder (LSD), is caused by insufficient activity of alpha‐mannosidase, an enzyme involved in degradation of N‐glycan oligosaccharides. Hence, specific oligosaccharides accumulate in tissues, resulting in a progressive multi‐organ disease.

Characterization of the - and -Mannosidases of Porphyromonas gingivalis [PDF]
Mannose is an important sugar in the biology of the Gram-negative bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis. It is a major component of the oligosaccharides attached to the Arg-gingipain cysteine proteases, the repeating units of an acidic lipopolysaccharide (A-LPS), and the core regions of both types of LPS produced by the organism (O-LPS and A-LPS) and a ...

Intracellular activation of rat hepatic lipase requires transport to the Golgi compartment and is associated with a decrease in sedimentation velocity [PDF]
Hepatic lipase (HL) is an N-glycoprotein that acquires triglyceridase activity somewhere during maturation and secretion. To determine where and how HL becomes activated, the effect of drugs that interfere with maturation ...

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

At the nexus of three kingdoms: the genome of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita provides insights into plant, endobacterial and fungal interactions. [PDF]
As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina) symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some uncultivable endobacteria.

ABSTRACT Wine yeasts play a central role in alcoholic fermentation and significantly contribute to the sensory attributes of wines through cellular autolysis during lees aging (sur lie), especially in white wines. This process releases organic compounds that alter the wine's chemical and sensory profile.

A theoretical estimate for nucleotide sugar demand towards Chinese Hamster Ovary cellular glycosylation [PDF]
Glycosylation greatly influences the safety and efficacy of many of the highest-selling recombinant therapeutic proteins (rTPs). In order to define optimal cell culture feeding strategies that control rTP glycosylation, it is necessary to know how ...
