Extraction of two active polysaccharides from the yeast cell wall.
نویسنده
چکیده
Yeast cell wall matrix particles are composed entirely of beta-glucan and mannoprotein. Alkali-insoluble (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan was extracted from the yeast cell wall by an alkaline-acid method. IR spectra analysis showed that the product was chemically pure glucan, that is to say, it contained no other carbohydrates and proteins. So, the alkaline-acid method was ideal for extracting (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan from the yeast cell wall. We also purified and analyzed mannan oligosaccharides by the dilute alkali-Sevage method from the yeast cell wall.

Changes of major wall polysaccharides and glycoproteins of tobacco cells in response to excess boron
Effects of excess concentrations of boron on major cell wall components of tobacco cells(Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Burley 21) were studied. Pectin, xyloglucan, hydroxyproline-richglycoproteins (extensin), and arabinogalactan proteins were characterized. Results showedthat increased boron supply resulted in significant decrease in cell and cell wall dry weights.Also, high concentrations of boron ...

Background: 1, 2-Dimethylhydrazine (DMH) enhances lipid peroxidation rate by tumor mitochondria than normal tissue counterpart and causes many disorders in antioxidant system in liver. It also increases the level of enzymes that metabolize toxin in liver and colon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the alteration of liver and its enzymes after DMH injection and evaluate protective effect of...

متن کاملPURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CELL WALLMANNOPRO TEINS OF CANDIDA ALB/CANS USING INTACT CELL METHOD
Virulence of the opportunistic yeast, Candida albieans, involves the interplay of many complex changes including the yeast-hyphae transition, which mainly involves protein changes. Cell wall mannoproteins are found to be the main cause of adherence of C. albieans to epithel ial cells in the first step of an infection process. In the present study, cell wall mannoproteins of intact yeast wer...
متن کاملYeast and fungal cell-wall polysaccharides can self-assemble in vitro into an ultrastructure resembling in vivo yeast cell walls.
Polysaccharides account for more than 90% of the content of fungal cell walls, but the mechanism underlying the formation of the architecture of the cell walls, which consist of microfibrils embedded in an amorphous wall matrix, remains unknown. We used electron microscopy to investigate ten different fungal cell-wall polysaccharides to determine whether they could self-assemble into the fibril...
