β-Mannan degradation by gut bacteria - Characterization of β-mannanases from families GH5 and GH26

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan lever inte bara själv, utan tillsammans med en mängd bakterier som lever i kroppen. Större delen av dessa lever i tjocktarmen. Dessa organismer är viktiga för vår hälsa. De stimulerar immunförsvaret, sänker pH i tarmen och gör det ogynnsamt för sjukdomsframkallande bakterier att växa till. Bakterierna lever i symbios med oss och med varandra. Förändringar i taThe human gut flora is important for our well-being. The gut bacteria are able to degrade and metabolize complex carbohydrates. Examples of such carbohydrates are β-mannans. β-Mannans consist of a backbone of β-1,4-linked mannose units and are present in e.g. the endosperm of legumes such as guar or carob. The composition of the β-mannan varies with the plant source. Carob and guar β-mannans are s

Structural and Biochemical Analyses of Glycoside Hydrolase Families 5 and 26 beta-(1,4)-Mannanases from Podospora anserina Reveal Differences upon Manno-oligosaccharide Catalysis

An Aspergillus nidulans GH26 endo-β-mannanase with a novel degradation pattern on highly substituted galactomannans.

β-Mannanase BoMan26B from Bacteroides ovatus produces mannan-oligosaccharides with prebiotic potential from galactomannan and softwood β-mannans

Over-expression, purification and characterization of a β-mannanase BoMan26B from Bacteroides ovatus

Hemicelluloses account for 25-30% of total wood dry weight. Mannan-based polysaccharides are the major component of softwood hemicelluloses. They are characterized by their β-1,4-glycosidic linked backbone composed of mannose or a combination of mannose and glucose residues. The backbone can be substituted by α-1,6-linked galactose residues. β-mannanases cleave the internal β-1,4-glycosidic bonds

Development, validation and characterization of an analytical method for the quantification of hydrolysable urinary metabolites and plasma protein adducts of 2,4-and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate and 4,4 '-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate

The neutrophil-mobilizing cytokine interleukin-26 in the airways of long-term tobacco smokers

Long-term tobacco smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic bronchitis display an excessive accumulation of neutrophils in the airways; an inflammation that responds poorly to established therapy. Thus, there is a need to identify new molecular targets for the development of effective therapy. Here, we hypothesized that the neutrophil-mobilizing cytokine interleukin (IL)

Increased levels of α2-3- and α2-6-linked sialic acids during airway inflammation govern influenza A binding to peripheral airway mucins in a subtype-dependent manner

Background: Influenza infection increases the risk of pneumonia and respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and mucins play an important role in pulmonary host defense. Methods: Lower airway mucins were obtained from long-term smokers with and without COPD, pneumonia patients, and healthy never-smokers; oral MUC5B was obtained from a healthy never-smoker, and the abilit

Array based characterization of a terminal deletion involving chromosome subband 15q26.2: an emerging syndrome associated with growth retardation, cardiac defects and developmental delay.

BACKGROUND: Subtelomeric regions are gene rich and deletions in these chromosomal segments have been demonstrated to account for approximately 2.5% of patients displaying mental retardation with or without association of dysmorphic features. However, cases that report de novo terminal deletions on chromosome arm 15q are rare. METHODS: In this study we present the first example of a detailed molecu
