Glycosylation is one of the most abundant and diverse post-translational modifications. Glycans participate in various key biological functions and processes including immunity, cell adhesion, endocytosis, exocytosis, molecular trafficking, and signal transduction. Previous work from our lab...

Exploiting novel Acinetobacter Oligosaccharyltransferases for the development of glycoconjugate vaccines against the Pneumococcus
DownloadSpring 2016
Vaccines bring many diseases under control, an example of which is the Streptococcus pneumoniae, or the Pneumococcus. Pneumococcus is one of the leading causes of meningitis in children under 5 years, and is responsible for almost a million child deaths annually, with more than 90 serotypes...

Acinetobacter baumannii remains a poorly understood, but very dangerous opportunistic pathogen. Though it lacks clear virulence traits expected of pathogens, it none the less poses a massive threat to the hospital system due to its inherent and acquired resistance to antibiotics, survival on...

Bacterial resistance to chemical and physical methods in food processing, and the consumers’ demand for food free of chemical additives challenge the food industry to identify new approaches for food preservation. Affordable and novel antimicrobial compounds from food derived sources are an...

While PrP is almost always found in the glycosylated state, there has been very little study attempting to explore the effects of the size of glycans, the composition of glycans, and the site of glycosylation on the stability of PrP. These effects can potentially play an important role in the...

Ovomucin is a bioactive egg white glycoprotein responsible for its gel-like properties and is believed to be involved in egg white thinning, a natural process that occurs during storage. Ovomucin is composed of two subunits: a carbohydrate-rich β-ovomucin and a carbohydrate-poor α-ovomucin....

Slow gating regulation is an extrinsic regulatory mechanism that inhibits the activation of Kv1.2 channels. Physiological factors modulating slow gating regulation are incompletely understood and the interplay between slow gating regulation and Kv1.2 channel pharmacology is unexplored. In chapter...

Glycosylation is the enzymatic modification of biomacromolecules (proteins, etc.) with carbohydrates known as glycans. Naturally occurring in all organisms from viruses to animals, glycans have multifaceted functions in all aspects of biology. Aberrant glycosylation is often observed in diseases...
