Evolution of milk oligosaccharides and lactose: a hypothesis

Animal, 2012
Mammalian milk or colostrum contains up to 10% of carbohydrate, of which free lactose usually constitutes more than 80%. Lactose is synthesized within lactating mammary glands from uridine diphosphate galactose (UDP-Gal) and glucose by a ...

Systematic Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of O-Sulfated Sialyl Lewis x Antigens. [PDF]

, 2015
O-Sulfated sialyl Lewis x antigens play important roles in nature. However, due to their structural complexity, they are not readily accessible by either chemical or enzymatic synthetic processes.

Increased sugar content impairs pollen fertility and reduces seed-setting in high-photosynthetic-efficiency rice

Crop Journal
Crop yield depends on biomass, which is primarily associated with photosynthesis. We previously demonstrated that two photorespiratory bypasses, i.e., GOC (glycolate oxidase + oxalate oxidase + catalase) and GCGT (glycolate oxidase + catalase ...

P2Y receptors in the mammalian nervous system: pharmacology, ligands and therapeutic potential [PDF]

, 2012
P2Y receptors for extracellular nucleotides are coupled to activation of a variety of G proteins and stimulate diverse intracellular signaling pathways that regulate functions of cell types that comprise the central nervous system (CNS).

Frog brain uridine diphosphate galactose–N-acetylgalactosaminyl-N-acetylneuraminylgalactosylglucosylceramide galactosyltransferase [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1970
1. The enzyme that catalyses the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(1→4)-N-acetylneuraminyl-(2→3)-galactosyl-(1→4)-glucosylceramide (GM2) was found mainly in the heavy- and light-microsomal fractions of the adult frog brain. 2.

Deep characterization of refractory epilepsy due to mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE) and insights into the role of invasive monitoring

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy surgery is an effective treatment option for patients with medically refractory epilepsy due to mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE). The success of surgery depends on the accurate localization of the epileptogenic zone, which can be challenging due to the subtle imaging ...

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

Controlling plant diseases by blocking pathogen food supply chain

Phytopathology Research
While plant pathogens rely on their hosts for nutrients, the specific way they take these nutrients remains unclear. Recently, Wang et al. discovered that the bacterial type III effector AvrBs2 acts as a xanthosan synthetase, facilitating the ...
