Sulfatases are determinants of alveolar formation [PDF]
Matrix Biology, 2012 Alveolar formation or alveolarization is orchestrated by a finely regulated and complex interaction between growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins. The lung parenchyma contains various extracellular matrix proteins including proteoglycans, which are composed of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) linked to a protein core.

Metabolomics application in maternal-fetal medicine [PDF]
, 2013 Metabolomics in maternal-fetal medicine is still an "embryonic" science. However, there is already an increasing interest in metabolome of normal and complicated pregnancies, and neonatal outcomes. Tissues used for metabolomics interrogations of pregnant

Enrichable consortia of microbial symbionts degrade macroalgal polysaccharides in Kyphosus fish
mBioCoastal herbivorous fishes consume macroalgae, which is then degraded by microbes along their digestive tract. However, there is scarce genomic information about the microbiota that perform this degradation.

Bioactive Polysaccharides Targeting Gut Microbiota to Modulate Host Health: A Gear Effect Theory
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.The “Gear Effect” mechanism of bioactive polysaccharides driving gut microbiota to modulate host health. ABSTRACT Bioactive polysaccharides are macromolecular polymers with broad biological activities. Recent evidence has highlighted their role in modulating host health primarily through interactions with gut microbiota.

The effect of organic management on soil quality indicators [PDF]
, 2002 This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. A range of physical, biological and chemical parameters were measured in organic soil that had been managed in different ways and in a conventional control.

Comparative genomics and mutagenesis analyses of choline metabolism in the marine Roseobacter clade [PDF]
, 2015 Choline is ubiquitous in marine eukaryotes and appears to be widely distributed in surface marine waters; however, its metabolism by marine bacteria is poorly understood.

Identification and Signature Sequences of Bacterial Δ4,5Hexuronate-2-O-Sulfatases
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sulfatases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of sulfate esters from GAGs, belong to a large and conserved sulfatase family. Bacterial GAG sulfatases are essential in the process of sulfur cycling and are useful for the structural ...

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.Abstract Increasing evidence links the gut microbiome to carcinogenesis. Disruptions in estrogen regulation by the estrobolome—gut microbiota with estrogen‐related functions—may promote breast cancer. However, precise information on estrobolome targets and their underlying mechanisms is limited. This review identifies relevant targets for measuring the

A novel amino acid modification in sulfatases that is defective in multiple sulfatase deficiency
Cell, 1995 Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a decreased activity of all known sulfatases. The deficiency of sulfatases was proposed to result from the lack of a co- or posttranslational modification that is common to all sulfatases and required for their catalytic activity.
