Sialic acid-specific lectins: occurrence, specificity and function.

TL;DR: This review will present a detailed overview of the current knowledge regarding the occurrence, specificity and function of sialic acid-specific lectins, particularly those that occur in viruses, bacteria and non-vertebrate eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mushroom Lectins: Specificity, Structure and Bioactivity Relevant to Human Disease

TL;DR: This review provides an up-to-date summary on the biochemical, molecular and structural properties of mushroom lectins, as well as their versatile applications specifically focusing on mushroom lectin bioactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential carbohydrate recognition by Campylobacter jejuni strain 11168: influences of temperature and growth conditions.

TL;DR: The data suggests that the binding of mannose and/or N-acetylneuraminic acid may provide the initial interactions important for colonisation following environmental exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycan:glycan interactions: High affinity biomolecular interactions that can mediate binding of pathogenic bacteria to host cells

TL;DR: This report shows that the saccharide component of LOS/LPS have direct, high-affinity interactions with host glycans, the first report to the authors' knowledge of high affinity glycan:glycan interactions between bacterial pathogens and the host.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of nucleotide sugar transporters: Current progress.

TL;DR: The current state-of-play with respect to the structure–function relationship of the CMP-sialic acid transporter (CST) is provided and work performed by a number groups detailing the affect of various mutations on CST transport activity, efficiency, and substrate specificity is summarised.
