Influence of pH on mechanical relaxations in high solids lm-pectin preparations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The influence of pH on the mechanical relaxation of LM-pectin in the presence of co-solute has been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, ζ-potential measurements and small deformation dynamic oscillation in shear.

Polysaccharide degradation by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2019
The discovery of oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds by enzymes currently known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has had a major impact on our current understanding of the enzymatic conversion of recalcitrant polysaccharides such as chitin and cellulose.

The regulatory and transcriptional landscape associated with carbon utilization in a filamentous fungus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Filamentous fungi, such as Neurospora crassa, are very efficient in deconstructing plant biomass by the secretion of an arsenal of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, by remodeling metabolism to accommodate production of secreted enzymes, and by enabling ...

Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (

Bioactive Lyocell Fibers with Inherent Antibacterial, Antiviral and Antifungal Properties

open access: yesMolecules
Functional Lyocell fibers gain interest in garments and technical textiles, especially when equipped with inherently bioactive features. In this study, Lyocell fibers are modified with an ion exchange resin and subsequently loaded with copper (Cu) ions ...

The association between life events, social support, and antibody status following thymus-dependent and thymus-independent vaccinations in healthy young adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This study determined whether stressful life events and social support were related to antibody status following both thymus-dependent and thymus-independent vaccinations. Life events in the previous year and customary social support were measured in 57

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Effects of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa on Growth, Antioxidant, and Immune Function, and Toll/Imd and JAK-STAT Signaling Pathways in Red Claw Crayfish (Cherax quadricanatus)

open access: yesAquaculture Nutrition
In aquaculture, the use of probiotics to improve growth, immunity, and stress resistance in crustaceans has gained increasing attention. This study examined the effects of incorporating different levels of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (0.0, 0.1, 1.0, and 10 ...

Genetic and pathogenic characterizations of a naturally occurring reassortant and homologous recombinant strain of the classical infectious bursal disease virus re-emerging in chickens in southern China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) classical virus strain (cIBDV) can cause morbidity and mortality in young chickens with severe long-term immunosuppression.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...
