Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1973 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]
Glycobiology, 1992 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).

Potent Metabolic Sialylation Inhibitors Based on C-5-Modified Fluorinated Sialic Acids
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2018 Sialic acid sugars on mammalian cells regulate numerous biological processes, while aberrant expression of sialic acid is associated with diseases such as cancer and pathogenic infection.

, 2021 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

Role of Pneumococcal NanA Neuraminidase Activity in Peripheral Blood
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019 The most frequent form of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is associated with infections caused by Shiga-like toxin-producing Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (STEC). In rarer cases HUS can be triggered by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Siglecs as Therapeutic Targets in Cancer
Biology, 2021 Hypersialylation is a common post-translational modification of protein and lipids found on cancer cell surfaces, which participate in cell-cell interactions and in the regulation of immune responses. Sialic acids are a family of nine-carbon α-keto acids

The Sodium Sialic Acid Symporter From Staphylococcus aureus Has Altered Substrate Specificity
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018 Mammalian cell surfaces are decorated with complex glycoconjugates that terminate with negatively charged sialic acids. Commensal and pathogenic bacteria can use host-derived sialic acids for a competitive advantage, but require a functional sialic acid ...

Nature Communications, 2023 O-acetylation is a common modification of sialic acids that has been implicated in a multitude of biological and disease processes. A lack of analytical methods that can determine exact structures of sialic acid variants is a hurdle to determine roles of
