The regulatory and transcriptional landscape associated with carbon utilization in a filamentous fungus. [PDF]
, 2020 Filamentous fungi, such as Neurospora crassa, are very efficient in deconstructing plant biomass by the secretion of an arsenal of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, by remodeling metabolism to accommodate production of secreted enzymes, and by enabling ...

Monosaccharide transporters in plants: structure, function and physiology [PDF]
, 2000 Monosaccharide transport across the plant plasma membrane plays an important role both in lower and higher plants. Algae can switch between phototrophic and heterotrophic growth and utilize organic compounds, such as monosaccharides as additional or sole

Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]
, 2013 Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (

Recent advances in exploring physiology and biodiversity of ectomycorrhizas highlight the functioning of these symbioses in ecosystems [PDF]
, 2000 Ectomycorrhizas, the dominating mycorrhizal symbiosis in boreal, temperate and some tropical forests, are formed by 5000-6000 species of the asco- and basidiomycetes.

Genome-wide saturation mutagenesis of Burkholderia pseudomallei K96243 predicts essential genes and novel targets for antimicrobial development. [PDF]
, 2014 UNLABELLED: Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, an often fatal infectious disease for which there is no vaccine. B. pseudomallei is listed as a tier 1 select agent, and as current therapeutic options are limited due to its ...

Monosaccharide transport in protein-depleted vesicles from erythrocyte membranes.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1977 Treatment of human erythrocyte membranes with dilute alkali (pH 11.5) generates sealed, protein-depleted vesicles that can be isolated by density gradient centrifugation. The vesicles are 0.5 to 2.0 micrometers in diameter, and their membranes are predominantly oriented inside-out.

Recognition of specific sialoglycan structures by oral streptococci impacts the severity of endocardial infection. [PDF]
, 2019 Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the tooth surface. Although generally non-pathogenic in the oral environment, they are a frequent cause of infective endocarditis.

Direct imaging of glycans in Arabidopsis roots via click labeling of metabolically incorporated azido-monosaccharides [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Carbohydrates, also called glycans, play a crucial but not fully understood role in plant health and development. The non-template driven formation of glycans makes it impossible to image them in vivo with genetically encoded fluorescent tags

Deletion of the Zinc Transporter Lipoprotein AdcAII Causes Hyperencapsulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae Associated with Distinct Alleles of the Type I Restriction-Modification System. [PDF]
, 2020 The capsule is the dominant Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factor, yet how variation in capsule thickness is regulated is poorly understood. Here, we describe an unexpected relationship between mutation of adcAII, which encodes a zinc uptake ...
