Glycosylation plays important roles in cellular function and endows protein therapeutics with
beneficial properties. However, constructing biosynthetic pathways to study and engineer …

This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of …

Carbapenemase and extended β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates
represent a major health threat, stimulating increasing interest in immunotherapeutic …

Extracellular polysaccharides are crucial components for biofilm development. Although
Bacillus subtilis is one of the most characterized Gram-positive biofilm model system, the …

Glycoconjugates are the most diverse biomolecules of life. Mostly located at the cell surface,
they translate into cell-specific “barcodes” and offer a vast repertoire of functions, including …

Various mechanisms of protein cell surface display have evolved during bacterial evolution.
Several Gram-positive bacteria employ S-layer homology (SLH) domain-mediated sorting of …

N-linked oligosaccharides in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe contain large
amounts of d-galactose (Gal), which mainly comprises α1, 2-and α1, 3-linked Gal except for …

Pyruvyl modification of oligosaccharides is widely seen in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Although the biosynthetic mechanisms of pyruvylation have been investigated, enzymes that …

Both pyruvylation and sialylation onto the terminus of oligosaccharides of N-glycoproteins
seem to be structurally and functionally similar with a property of conferring negative charge …

The N-and O-linked oligosaccharides from fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe not
only contain large amounts of d-mannose (Man) but also contain large amounts of d …
