Membrane-enclosed multienzyme (MEME) synthesis of 2,7-anhydro-sialic acid derivatives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Naturally occurring 2,7-anhydro-alpha-N-acetylneuraminic acid (2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac) is a transglycosylation product of bacterial intramolecular trans-sialidases (IT-sialidases).

The Effect of Sialic Acid on MiR-320a and Let-7e Expression in Human Glial Cell Line

open access: yesBasic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2022
Introduction: Sialic acid is pivotal in various critical physiological events at molecular and cellular levels and pathological processes. Changes in sialic acid concentration are observed in many pathological processes; for example, some available data ...

Cell surface α2,3-linked sialic acid facilitates Zika virus internalization

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
The emergence of neurotropic Zika virus (ZIKV) raised a public health emergency of global concern. ZIKV can cross the placental barrier and infect foetal brains, resulting in microcephaly, but the pathogenesis of ZIKV is poorly understood.

Sialic acid content of low density lipoprotein and its relation to lipid concentrations and metabolism of low density lipoprotein and cholesterol

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
A low sialic acid content in low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been associated with atherogenicity and coronary artery disease (CAD) in many but not all studies. We investigated associations of the sialic acid-to-apolipoprotein B (apoB) ratio of LDL with

Biological function of sialic acid and sialylation in human health and disease

open access: yesCell Death Discovery
Sialic acids are predominantly found at the terminal ends of glycoproteins and glycolipids and play key roles in cellular communication and function. The process of sialylation, a form of post-translational modification, involves the covalent attachment ...

Sialic acid derivatization for glycan analysis by mass spectrometry

open access: yesProceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and biological sciences, 2019
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a well-accepted means for analyzing glycans. Before glycan analysis by MS, several chemical derivatizations are generally carried out.

Sialic acids in gastropods [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2001
The occurrence of N‐acetylneuraminic acid and N‐glycolylneuraminic acid residues in preparations of the slug Arion lusitanicus (Gastropoda) was determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate electrophoresis of the proteins followed by lectin blots stained with the sialic acid specific lectin from Maackia amurensis, by the sensitivity of this binding to ...

Molecular Recognition Insights of Sialic Acid Glycans by Distinct Receptors Unveiled by NMR and Molecular Modeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
All cells are decorated with a highly dense and complex structure of glycan chains, which are mostly attached to proteins and lipids. In this context, sialic acids are a family of nine-carbon acidic monosaccharides typically found at the terminal ...
