Lipoarabinomannan biosynthesis in Corynebacterineae: the interplay of two α(1→2)-mannopyranosyltransferases MptC and MptD in mannan branching
Lipomannan (LM) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) are key Corynebacterineae glycoconjugates that are integral components of the mycobacterial cell wall, and are potent immunomodulators during infection. LAM is a complex heteropolysaccharide synthesized by an array of essential glycosyltransferase family C (GT-C) members, which represent potential drug targets. Herein, we have identified and character...
متن کاملDiversity and Plasticity of Th Cell Types Predicted from Regulatory Network Modelling
Alternative cell differentiation pathways are believed to arise from the concerted action of signalling pathways and transcriptional regulatory networks. However, the prediction of mammalian cell differentiation from the knowledge of the presence of specific signals and transcriptional factors is still a daunting challenge. In this respect, the vertebrate hematopoietic system, with its many bra...
متن کاملIn Vitro Differentiation of Neural Stem Cells into Noradrenergic-Like Cells
Neural stem cells (NSCs) as a heterogeneous multipotent and self- renewal population are found in different areas in the developing mammalian nervous system, as well as the sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) and the hippocampus of the adult brain. NSCs can give rise to neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The aim of this study was to differentiate neural stem cells into noradrenergic–like cells in...
متن کاملCentral Limit Theorem in Multitype Branching Random Walk
A discrete time multitype (p-type) branching random walk on the real line R is considered. The positions of the j-type individuals in the n-th generation form a point process. The asymptotic behavior of these point processes, when the generation size tends to infinity, is studied. The central limit theorem is proved.
متن کاملLipoarabinomannan of Mycobacterium: mannose capping by a multifunctional terminal mannosyltransferase.
Biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI)-containing lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and lipomannan (LM) of Mycobacterium spp. follows a conserved pathway involving multiple membrane-associated, substrate-specific mannosyltransferases (ManTs) responsible for the sequential addition of alpha-mannopyranosyl (Manp) units donated by decaprenyl-P-Manp on the periplasmic side of the plasma membrane. Because ...
