Phase variation of poly-N-acetylglucosamine expression in Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA), also known as poly-N-acetyl-β-(1-6)-glucosamine (PIA/PNAG) is an important component of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and also contributes to resistance to phagocytosis. The proteins IcaA, IcaD, IcaB, and IcaC

A simple and rapid method for measuring α-D-phosphohexomutases activity by using anion-exchange chromatography coupled with an electrochemical detector [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The interconversion of hexose-6-phosphate and hexose-1-phosphate can be directly analyzed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled with an electrochemical detector (HPAEC-PAD). Thus, this method can be used to measure the activities of N-

Role of O-Linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) Protein Modification in Cellular (Patho)Physiology.
Physiological Reviews, 2020 In the mid 1980s, the identification of serine and threonine residues on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins modified by an O-linkage by a N-acetylglucosamine moiety (O-GlcNAc) overturned the widely held assumption that glycosylation only occurred in the ...
