Sialic acid acquisition in bacteria - one substrate many transporters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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 ...

Mass Spectrometry in the Elucidation of the Glycoproteome of Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Presently some three hundred post-translational modifications are known to occur in bacteria in vivo. Many of these modifications play critical roles in the regulation of proteins and control key biological processes.

A neuraminidase from Trypanosoma cruzi removes sialic acid from the surface of mammalian myocardial and endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagasic heart disease, a major public health problem in Latin America. The mechanism of interaction of this protozooan parasite with host cells is poorly understood.

The Lp_3561 and Lp_3562 enzymes support a functional divergence process in the lipase/esterase toolkit from Lactobacillus plantarum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Lactobacillus plantarum species is a good source of esterases since both lipolytic and esterase activities have been described for strains of this species. No fundamental biochemical difference exists among esterases and lipases since both share a common

Exogenous incorporation of neugc-rich mucin augments n-glycolyl sialic acid content and promotes malignant phenotype in mouse tumor cell lines

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2009
Background Carbohydrates embedded in the plasma membrane are one of the main actors involved in the communication of cells with the microenvironment. Neuraminic sialic acids are glycocalyx sugars that play important roles in the modulation of malignant ...

Permselectivity of the glomerular wall examined with iron compound tracer [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
Rat kidney endothelial cell morphology was examined after introducing iron colloid particles of positive or negative charge to investigate the relationship between the electric charge and permeation through the glomerular capillary.

Ferrets exclusively synthesize Neu5Ac and express naturally humanized influenza A virus receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mammals express the sialic acids ​N-acetylneuraminic acid (​Neu5Ac) and ​N-glycolylneuraminic acid (​Neu5Gc) on cell surfaces, where they act as receptors for pathogens, including influenza A virus (IAV). ​Neu5Gc is synthesized from ​Neu5Ac by the enzyme

Safety of 3′‐sialyllactose (3′‐SL) sodium salt produced with a derivative strain (Escherichia coli K‐12 MG1655 INB‐3SL_01) of E. coli K‐12 MG1655 (ATCC 700926) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on 3′‐sialyllactose (3′‐SL) sodium salt as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is mainly composed of the human‐identical milk oligosaccharide (HiMO) 3′‐SL (sodium salt),

Effect of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy on the Serum Sialic Acid Levels in Diabetic Patients with Periodontitis

open access: yesActa Medica, 2019
Sialic acid (SA), a family of acetylated derivatives of neuraminic acid, an acute phase reactant by itself. It usually occurs as a terminal component at the non-reducing end of carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
