Human noroviruses recognize sialyl Lewis x neoglycoprotein [PDF]
The carbohydrate binding characteristics of a norovirus GII.3 (Chron1) and a GII.4 (Dijon) strain were investigated using virus-like particles (VLPs) and saliva samples from 81 individuals genotyped for FUT2 (secretor) and FUT3 (Lewis) and phenotyped for ABO and Lewis blood groups. The two VLPs showed a typical secretor-gene-dependent binding and bound

Sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X (6-sulfo sLeX) and its derivative sialyl 6-sulfo N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) are sialylated and sulfated glycans of sialomucins found in the high endothelial venules (HEVs) of secondary lymphoid organs. A component of 6-sulfo sLeX

Synthesis of Sialyl Lewis X-Polysaccharide Conjugates.
Sialyl Lewis X (SLeX) is well known as a ligand of the cell adhesion molecule E-selectin which is specifically expressed at inflammatory lesion sites. We have synthesized several SLeX-polysaccharide conjugates and examined their potential for drug delivery to inflammatory lesions.

Structural and Molecular Insights into AipA and OmpA: Key Drivers of Anaplasma phagocytophilum Host Cell Invasion [PDF]
Background: This analysis investigates invasion tactics of Anaplasma phagocytophilum which constitutes a gram-negative bacterial species that causes the tick-borne pathogen known as human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA).

Lewis X and Sialyl Lewis X Glycosphingolipids.
ルイスX (Lex) とシアリルルイスX (sLex) は、細胞接着に重要な血液型糖鎖抗原である。細胞膜において、LexとsLexは糖タンパク質やスフィンゴ糖脂質 (GSLs) 上に発現されていると思われる。糖脂質は、オリゴ糖鎖分子がセラミドという脂質の末端に共有結合で結ばれた複雑な高分子である。糖脂質に発現されたLexとsLex糖鎖は、糖タンパク質と同様に、単純なもの、高度にフコシル化されたもの、複合型のもの、分枝したもの、あるいは長鎖のものが存在する。LexとsLexの発現の発生段階における変化は、胎児の発達や器官形成に重要であると考えられる。好中球や血小板上のsLex抗原を持つスフィンゴ糖脂質は、血小板や好中球のローリングを制御していると思われる活性化された血管の内皮細胞に発現されるE ...

Highly glycosylated MUC1 mediates high affinity L-selectin binding at the human endometrial surface
Background Sialyl-Lewis X/L-selectin high affinity binding interactions between transmembrane O-glycosylated mucins proteins and the embryo have been implicated in implantation processes within the human reproductive system.

A Knowledge-Based System for Display and Prediction of O-Glycosylation Network Behaviour in Response to Enzyme Knockouts. [PDF]
O-linked glycosylation is an important post-translational modification of mucin-type protein, changes to which are important biomarkers of cancer. For this study of the enzymes of O-glycosylation, we developed a shorthand notation for representing GalNAc-
