Studies on the Glycosidases of Jack Bean Meal III. CRYSTALLIZATION AND PROPERTIES OF β-N-ACETYLHEXOSAMINIDASE
Su-Chen Li,Yu-Teh Li +1 more
TL;DR: Studies of pH and thermal inactivation, mixed-substrate analysis, and the Ki values for several competitive inhibitors indicate that the β-N-acetylglucosaminidase and theβ-N -acetylgalactosamidase activities are catalyzed by the same enzyme at the same site.

Effect of perorally administered lactobacilli on macrophage activation in mice.
TL;DR: Observations show that L. casei and L. bulgaricus given by p.o. administration are able to activate macrophages in mice and suggest that these bacteria, when passing through the intestinal tract, may be responsible for the enhanced host immune response.

Receptor function of mouse sperm surface galactosyltransferase during fertilization
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that mouse sperm binding to the egg zona pellucida is mediated by a sperm galactosyltransferase (GalTase), which recognizes and binds to terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues in the zona peelida, which shows clearly that sperm GalTase serves as a principal gamete receptor during fertilization.

Studies on the Glycosidases in Jack Bean Meal I. ISOLATION AND PROPERTIES OF α-MANNOSIDASE
TL;DR: One of the two disaccharides synthesized from mannose by α-mannosidase was identified as α-1,6'-linked mannobiose, which is not a polysaccharidase (endoenzyme) in nature.
