Determinants of differential functions of galectin-8 on T cells and tumoral cells : interplay of galectin-8 isoforms, integrin and growth factor signaling pathways.
(2014)
Galectins are a subfamily of lectins involved in a variety of cellular processes mainly related with the immune system and cancer. Galectins are secreted through unconventional mechanisms, because they lack a signal peptide, ...
Heterologous expression of Escherichia coli ppsA (phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase) and galU (UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase) genes in Corynebacterium glutamicum, and its impact on trehalose synthesis
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2005)
Trehalose is a disaccharide with a wide range of applications in the food industry. We recently proposed a strategy for trehalose production based on a Corynebacterium glutamicum strain expressing the Escherichia coli ...
Galectin-8 promotes migration and proliferation and prevents apoptosis in U87 glioblastoma cells
(2016)
Abstract
Background
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive cancers of the brain. Malignant traits of glioblastoma cells include elevated migration, proliferation and ...
The galU gene expression in Streptococcus pneumoniae
(Wiley, 2012-06)
The polysaccharide capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the main virulence factor making the bacterium resistant to phagocytosis. The galU gene of Streptococcus pneumoniae encodes a UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase absolutely ...
Study of duplicated galU genes in Rhodococcus jostii and a putative new metabolic node for glucosamine-1P in rhodococci
(Elsevier Science, 2021-01)
Backgound: Studying enzymes that determine glucose-1P fate in carbohydrate metabolism is important to better understand microorganisms as biotechnological tools. One example ripe for discovery is the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase ...
On the ancestral UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity of GalF from Escherichia coli
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-11)
In bacteria, UDP-glucose is a central intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism. The enzyme responsible for its synthesis is encoded by the galU gene and its deletion generates cells unable to ferment galactose. In some ...
Identification of a gene cluster for the formation of extracellular polysaccharide precursors in the chemolithoautotroph Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2005-06)
A cluster of five genes, proposed to be involved in the formation of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) precursors via the Leloir pathway, have been identified in the acidophilic autotroph Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. ...
