Pectin is a family of plant cell wall complex polysaccharides and proteoglycans comprised of the glycan domains homogalacturonan (HG), rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I), and the substituted HGs rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II), xylogalacturonan and apiogalacturonan. The number, type, and arrangement of the pectic domains in dif...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune polyneuropathy that is the leading cause of nonpoliovirus-associated acute flaccid paralysis worldwide. In most cases, GBS occurs following an infection, most commonly Campylobacter jejuni, through the induction of antibodies recognizing bacterial ganglioside-mimicking lip...

We carried out carbohydrate composition and carbohydrate linkage analyses on Neurospora crassa cell walls from vegetative hyphae, conidia (asexual spores), perithecia (female mating structures), and ascospores (sexual spores). We show that the composition and structure of the cell wall undergo dramatic changes during t...

Single stranded RNA (ssRNA) and single stranded DNA (ssDNA) bacteriophages represent a key component of the global virome, yet the host genetic networks supporting their infection cycles remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive, genome-wide mapping of the genetic landscape regulating infection cycles...
Background Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) utilize specifically modified proteoglycans (PGs) within the basement membrane as attachment factors prior to cell entry and infection. Similarly modified PGs are also found on cancer cells, which enables HPV with tumor-selective binding properties and highlights the potential d...

Pectin is a complex plant cell wall polysaccharide whose galacturonic acid residues can be acetylated at O-2 and/or O-3 positions. The degree of acetylation is regulated by pectin acetyl esterase (PAE, EC 3.1.1.6). However, the structure and function of plant PAEs is unclear, impairing our understanding of the role of...
