Characterization of gangliosides by direct inlet chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
Permethylated derivatives of N-acetylneuraminic acid-containing GM3, N-glycolylneuraminic acid-containing GM3, GD1a, and GD1b, were analyzed by direct inlet ammonia chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry.

Expression of sialic acids and other nonulosonic acids in Leptospira [PDF]
BackgroundSialic acids are negatively charged nine carbon backbone sugars expressed on mammalian cell surfaces. Sialic acids are part of a larger family of nonulosonic acid (NulO) molecules that includes pseudaminic and legionaminic acids.

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (NANA) in Measles Virus
The envelope glycoproteins and glycolipids of paramyxoviruses appear to be derived from the host cell plasma membrane during viral release (1, 2). Measles envelope glycoprotein spikes effect attachment of the virion to cell surfaces, thereby initiating either he-magglutination (HA) or infection (3,4).

The sugar molecule N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is one of the most common sialic acids discovered in mammals. Cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) catalyses the conversion of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to Neu5Gc ...

Membrane-enclosed multienzyme (MEME) synthesis of 2,7-anhydro-sialic acid derivatives [PDF]
Naturally occurring 2,7-anhydro-alpha-N-acetylneuraminic acid (2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac) is a transglycosylation product of bacterial intramolecular trans-sialidases (IT-sialidases).

Gene-knockout pigs hold great promise as a solution to the shortage of organs from donor animals for xenotransplantation. Several groups have generated gene-knockout pigs via clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR ...

Overproduction of N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (Sialic Acid) by Sialuria Fibroblasts [PDF]
Fibroblasts from the original sialuria patient are shown to contain high levels of free sialic acid, i.e., an average of 87 versus a normal average of 2 nmol/mg of protein. Gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the accumulated material is N-acetylneuraminic acid.

Sialic acid acquisition in bacteria - one substrate many transporters [PDF]
The sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon sugar acids found predominantly on the cell-surface glycans of humans and other animals within the Deuterostomes and are also used in the biology of a wide range of bacteria that often live in association with ...

Differential carbohydrate recognition by Campylobacter jejuni strain 11168: influences of temperature and growth conditions. [PDF]
The pathogenic clinical strain NCTC11168 was the first Campylobacter jejuni strain to be sequenced and has been a widely used laboratory model for studying C. jejuni pathogenesis. However, continuous passaging of C.
