A novel type of meso-diaminopimelic acid-based peptidoglycan and novel poly(erythritol phosphate) teichoic acids in cell walls of two coryneform isolates from the surface flora of French cooked cheeses [PDF]
The primary structure of the peptidoglycan and the teichoic acids of two coryneform isolates from the surface flora of French cooked cheeses, CNRZ 925 and CNRZ 926, have been determined.

Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]
Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...

Due to a broad spectrum of active ingredients, snail slime presents a variety of exciting physical properties and chemical reactivities. Especially in the role of the reduction‐ and stabilizing agent for the manufacturing of gold nanoparticles, its great potential is revealed. Utilising the proteins found in slime, Nanoparticle‐comprising hydrogels are

Background: UDP-GlcNAc is a precursor of glycoconjugates, including hyaluronan, and induces protein glycosylation to form O-linked GlcNAc (O-GlcNAcylation). Results: UDP-GlcNAc induces hyaluronan synthesis through O-GlcNAcylation of hyaluronan synthase 2,

O-GlcNAcase:promiscuous hexosaminidase or key regulator of O-GlcNAc signalling? [PDF]
O-GlcNAc signaling is regulated by an opposing pair of enzymes: O-GlcNAc transferase installs and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) removes the modification from proteins.

Protein glycosylation in lung cancer from a mass spectrometry perspective
Abstract Lung cancer is a severe disease for which better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Increasing evidence implies that aberrant protein glycosylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer.
