Immunochemistry of pathogenic yeast, Candida species, focusing on mannan
This review describes recent findings based on structural and immunochemical analyses of the cell wall mannan of Candida albicans, and other medically important Candida species. Mannan has been shown to consist of α-1,2-, α-1,3-, α-1,6-, and β-1,2-linked mannopyranose units with few phosphate groups. Each Candida species has a unique mannan structure biosynthesized by sequential collaboration b...
متن کاملStudies on the structure of yeast mannan. II. Mode of action of the Arthrobacter alpha-mannosidase on yeast mannan.
The mode of action of the extracellular a-mannosidase from Arfhrobacfer GJM-1 has been studied with several yeast mannans as substrates. In vifro, the enzyme cleaves most of the cu-(1 + 2)and a-(1 + 3)-linked side chains from Saccharomyces cerevisine mannan, producing free mannose and leaving a resistant polymer containing mainly ar-(1 --f 6)-linkages. This material cannot be further degraded b...
متن کاملIsolation of Mannooligosaccharides Corresponding to Antigenic Determinants of Pathogenic Yeast Candida catenulata Cell Wall Mannan
To investigate the chemical structure of cell wall mannan of pathogenic yeast, Candida catenulata IFO 0745 strain, which possess the epitopes of antigenic factors 1, 9, and 34 to genus Candida, we previously performed the two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of this mannan, Fr. C, without the need for harsh procedures. In this study, three oligosaccharides, biose, triose, a...
متن کاملStructural Investigation of Cell Wall Mannan Antigen Obtained from Pathogenic Yeast Candida zeylanoides
Antigenicity of pathogenic yeast Candida zeylanoides NBRC 10326 was found to have similar to that of Candida guilliermondii, but it was slightly different, i.e. NBRC 10326 strain cells react strongly with the factor antibodies 1, 4, and 9, and react relatively weakly with factor antibody 5. We have investigated the structural characteristic of cell wall mannan of this strain using a non-degrada...
متن کاملGenetic Control of Yeast Mannan Structure
Four Saccharomyces cerevisiae mannan mutants have been analyzed to assess the effect of the mutations on the properties of the cells and to determine the complementation patterns. The mutants were defective in the formation of an a-1+3-mannosyltransferase (mnnl), two different a-1+2mannosyltransferases (mnn2 and mnn3), and a mannosylphosphate transferase (mnnl). The latter mutant was obtained f...
