Inactivation of GalU Leads to a Cell Wall-Associated Polysaccharide Defect That Reduces the Susceptibility of Enterococcus faecalis to Bacteriolytic Agents

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2021
Cell wall-associated polysaccharides of bacteria are involved in various physiological characteristics. Recent studies demonstrated that the cell wall-associated polysaccharide of Enterococcus faecalis is required for susceptibility to bactericidal ...

Temporal transcriptome analysis of the white-rot fungus Obba rivulosa shows expression of a constitutive set of plant cell wall degradation targeted genes during growth on solid spruce wood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The basidiomycete white-rot fungus Obba rivulosa, a close relative of Gelatoporia (Ceriporiopsis) subvermispora, is an efficient degrader of softwood. The dikaryotic O.

Truncation of the lipopolysaccharide outer core affects susceptibility to antimicrobial peptides and virulence of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We reported previously that the core oligosaccharide region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is essential for optimal adhesion of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, an important swine pathogen, to respiratory tract cells. Rough LPS and core LPS mutants of A.

Galactokinase 1 is the source of elevated galactose‐1‐phosphate and cerebrosides are modestly reduced in a mouse model of classic galactosemia

open access: yesJIMD Reports, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 280-294, July 2024.
Abstract Classic galactosemia (CG) arises from loss‐of‐function mutations in the Galt gene, which codes for the enzyme galactose‐1‐phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT), a central component in galactose metabolism. The neonatal fatality associated with CG can be prevented by galactose dietary restriction, but for decades it has been known that limiting ...

Crystal Structure of the N-Acetylmuramic Acid α-1-Phosphate (MurNAc-α1-P) Uridylyltransferase MurU, a Minimal Sugar Nucleotidyltransferase and Potential Drug Target Enzyme in Gram-negative Pathogens

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Background: N-Acetylmuramic acid α-1-phosphate (MurNAc-α1-P) uridylyltransferase MurU contributes to a shortcut in Pseudomonas putida cell wall biosynthesis accounting for intrinsic fosfomycin resistance.

Clinical significance of plasma galactose and erythrocyte galactose-1-phosphate measurements in transferase-deficient galactosemia and in individuals with below-normal transferase activity.

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 1982
We correlated the clinical symptoms of transferase-deficient galactosemia with the plasma galactose and erythrocyte galactose-1-phosphate concentrations in six galactosemic patients during dietary treatment, in a child before treatment, and in 12 ...

Functional characterization of a xylose transporter in Aspergillus nidulans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: The production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks will only become economically feasible when the majority of cellulosic and hemicellulosic biopolymers can be efficiently converted into bioethanol.

Human Milk Oligosaccharide Utilization in Intestinal Bifidobacteria Is Governed by Global Transcriptional Regulator NagR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis is a prevalent beneficial bacterium that colonizes the human neonatal gut and is uniquely adapted to efficiently use human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) as a carbon and energy source. Multiple studies have focused on

Pru p 9, a new allergen eliciting respiratory symptoms in subjects sensitized to peach tree pollen

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Peach tree (PT) pollen sensitization is highly prevalent in subjects living in areas where this tree is widely cultivated. None of the allergens responsible for these sensitizations have been identified so far.
