Characterization and hepatoprotective effect of polysaccharides from Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H. F. Chou sarcocarp.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 74 , 76-84, (2014)

The polysaccharides from Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H. F. Chou sarcocarp (PWJS) is evaluated for the chemical composition, antioxidant activity and hepatoprotective effect. The characteristics of PWJS were determined by FT-IR spectral an...

Substrates specialization in lipid compounds and hydrocarbons of Marinobacter genus.

Environ. Sci. Pollut. Res. Int. 22 , 15347-59, (2015)

The impact of petroleum contamination and of burrowing macrofauna on abundances of Marinobacter and denitrifiers was tested in marine sediment mesocoms after 3 months incubation. Quantification of this genus by qPCR with a new primer set showed that the main ...

Antioxidant and antitumor effects of polysaccharides from the fungus Pleurotus abalonus.

Chem. Biol. Interact. 237 , 166-74, (2015)

Dietary supplement of edible Pleurotus abalonus (P. abalonus) rich in fungal polysaccharides is associated with anticancer health benefit. We here isolated the polysaccharides (PAP) from the fruiting bodies of P. abalonus, and evaluated the antiproliferative ...

Steroidal sapogenins and glycosides from the fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus and Liriope spicata var. prolifera with anti-inflammatory activity.

Chem. Pharm. Bull. 63(3) , 187-94, (2015)

Two new steroidal glycosides (1 and 2), together with 15 known compounds (3-17) were isolated from the fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus, and three new steroidal glycosides (18-20), together with 14 known compounds (21-34) were isolated from the fibrous r...

Autoactivation of pancreatic trypsinogen is controlled by carbohydrate-specific interaction.

FEBS Lett. 589(5) , 569-75, (2015)

Activation of bovine pancreatic trypsinogen (BPTG) by trypsin (BPT) was found to be inhibited by d GalN/GalNAc at pH 5.5, the pH of secretory granules in the pancreas. Binding studies with biotinylated sugar-polymers indicated that BPTG and BPT bind to α-GalN...

Okibacterium endophyticum sp. nov., a novel endophytic actinobacterium isolated from roots of Salsola affinis C. A. Mey.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 107(3) , 835-43, (2015)

A white bacterial strain, designated EGI 650022(T), was isolated from the roots of Salsola affinis C. A. Mey, collected from Urumqi City, Xinjiang, north-western China. The strain was found to be aerobic, Gram-stain positive, oxidase-positive and catalase-pos...

Fucose: biosynthesis and biological function in mammals.

Glycobiology 13(7) , 41R-53R, (2003)

Fucose is a deoxyhexose that is present in a wide variety of organisms. In mammals, fucose-containing glycans have important roles in blood transfusion reactions, selectin-mediated leukocyte-endothelial adhesion, host-microbe interactions, and numerous ontoge...

Mutarotation in biologically important pure L-fucose and its enantiomer.

J. Phys. Condens. Matter 25(37) , 375101, (2013)

The sugar specific mutarotation reaction in biologically important L-fucose and its enantiomer in the pure, anhydrous, supercooled liquid state has been studied. Kinetics measurements in the temperature range 313-328 K at ambient pressure have been performed ...

Novel monosaccharide fermentation products in Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus identified using NMR spectroscopy.

Biotechnol. Biofuels 6(1) , 47, (2013)

Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is a thermophilic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming, strictly anaerobic bacterium of interest in potential industrial applications, including the production of biofuels such as hydrogen or ethanol from lignocellulosic biom...

Novel insights from hybrid LacI/GalR proteins: family-wide functional attributes and biologically significant variation in transcription repression.

Nucleic Acids Res. 40 , 11139-54, (2012)

LacI/GalR transcription regulators have extensive, non-conserved interfaces between their regulatory domains and the 18 amino acids that serve as 'linkers' to their DNA-binding domains. These non-conserved interfaces might contribute to functional differences...
