Sialic acid as a biomarker of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer
Background: Carcinogenesis is a multistep process where a healthy cell has initially a precancerous stage and finally an early cancerous stage. The process of carcinogenesis can be divided into three stages of initiation, promotion, and progression.

Abstract A soluble sialyltransferase was partially purified from colostrum (goat, bovine, and human). This enzyme catalyzed the transfer of sialic acid from cytidine monophospho-sialic acid to β-d-galactopyranosides. When N-acetyllactosamine was the acceptor, the products formed by the colostrum transferase contained sialic acid linked only to C-6 of ...

Diversity in the sialic acids [PDF]
Historical background It is now more than 50 years since N-acetyl-neuraminic acid was first discovered and subsequently characterized by several groups (reviewed in Roseman, 1970; Gottschalk, 1972; Rosenberg and Schengrund, 1976; Schauer, 1982; Faillard, 1989).

Sialic acid transporter NanT participates in Tannerella forsythia biofilm formation and survival on epithelial cells [PDF]
Tannerella forsythia is a periodontal pathogen implicated in periodontitis. This gram-negative pathogen depends on exogenous peptidoglycan amino sugar N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) for growth.

Let us study viruses and the role of sialic acids in their first step of reproduction, the attachment to cells. We begin our study with the help of the "Earth's virology course", created by Vincent Racaniello, with David Tuller and Gertrud U. Rey. The first virus that we will study is that of influenza A. Actually, "Earth's virology course" is a proper

Bacterial binding to platelets is a key step in the development of infective endocarditis (IE). Sialic acid, a common terminal carbohydrate on host glycans, is the major receptor for streptococci on platelets.

Structural characterization of the carbohydrate-binding module of NanA sialidase, a pneumococcal virulence factor [PDF]
This research was supported by the University of St Andrews and grants provided by the Medical Research Council.Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae Neuraminidase A (NanA) is a multi-domain protein anchored to the bacterial surface.

Sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac)) is commonly found in the terminal location of colonic mucin glycans where it is a much-coveted nutrient for gut bacteria, including Ruminococcus gnavus. R.
