A single sulfatase is required to access colonic mucin by a gut bacterium
Nature, 2021 Humans have co-evolved with a dense community of microbial symbionts that inhabit the lower intestine. In the colon, secreted mucus creates a barrier that separates these microorganisms from the intestinal epithelium1.

Mucin1 and Mucin16: Therapeutic Targets for Cancer Therapy
Pharmaceuticals, 2021 The mucin (MUC) family is a group of highly glycosylated macromolecules that are abundantly expressed in mammalian epithelial cells. MUC proteins contribute to the formation of the mucus barrier and thus have protective functions against infection ...

Mucin O-glycans are natural inhibitors of Candida albicans pathogenicity
Nature Chemical Biology, 2022 Mucins are large gel-forming polymers inside the mucus barrier that inhibit the yeast-to-hyphal transition of Candida albicans, a key virulence trait of this important human fungal pathogen.

Stimulation of neutrophil oxidative burst by calcium phosphate particles with adsorbed mucin
Russian Open Medical Journal, 2021 Objective — Mucin can promote formation of gallstones via precipitation with calcium phosphate. The proinflammatory effect of mucin-coated particles is still unclear, and our aim was to study the role of mucin sorption in activation of neutrophil ...

Identification of mucin degraders of the human gut microbiota
Scientific Reports, 2021 Mucins are large glycoproteins consisting of approximately 80% of hetero-oligosaccharides. Gut mucin degraders of healthy subjects were investigated, through a culture dependent and independent approach.

The Interaction of the Gut Microbiota with the Mucus Barrier in Health and Disease in Human
Microorganisms, 2018 Glycoproteins are major players in the mucus protective barrier in the gastrointestinal and other mucosal surfaces. In particular the mucus glycoproteins, or mucins, are responsible for the protective gel barrier.
