More than 90% of the glycolipid in mammalian testis consists of a unique sulfated glyceroglycolipid called seminolipid. The galactosylation of the molecule is catalyzed by UDP-galactose:ceramide galactosyltransferase (CGT). Disruption of the CGT gene in mice results in male infertility due to the arrest of spermatogenesis, indicating that seminolipid plays an important role in reproductive func...
The antimicrobial properties of cis-6-hexadecenoic acid (C16:1Δ6), a component of the innate human metabolome, were studied and its application to cosmetic products was investigated in detail. A variety of the resident and transient microbial flora of the skin, oral cavity, and intestine was applied to an investigation of the antimicrobial activity of C16:1Δ6. C16:1Δ6 showed selective antibacte...
Extracellular enzymes from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) involved in the degradation of nodulation (Nod) factors could be distinguished by their different cleavage specificities and were separated by lectin affinity chromatography. A particular glycoprotein was able to release an acylated lipo-disaccharide from all tested Nod factors having an oligosaccharide chain length of four or five residue...
The aim of this study is to evaluate Chinese herbs' efficacy on adhesive properties of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The effects of Chinese herbal solution on the hemagglutination and adhesion by E. coli strain were studied. E. coli C16 was isolated from a patient with urinary tract infection. The MIC value of herbal solution for the E. coli C16 was 0.1g/ml. The MBC value was 0.2g/ml. The effects...
The effect of molecular architecture of a surfactant, particularly the attachment position of benzene sulfonate on the hexadecane backbone, at the decane-water interface was investigated using atomistic MD simulations. We consider a series of surfactant isomers in the family of alkyl benzene sulfonates, denoted by m-C16, indicating a benzene sulfonate group attached to the mth carbon in a hexad...
We report here an application of the previous method for the analysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) oxidation products in human plasma using quadrupole time of flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. We separated these products using an HPLC C8 column with a gradient of methanol and 10 mM aqueous ammonium acetate. Monohydroperoxides, epo...
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha signals cell death and simultaneously induces the generation of ceramide, which is metabolized to sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) by ceramidase (CDase) and sphingosine kinase. Because the dynamic balance between the intracellular levels of ceramide and S1P (the "ceramide/S1P rheostat") may determine cell survival, we investigated these sphingolipi...
Attempts to manipulate the level of C16:1 fatty acids in membrane phospholipids were made by using Bacillus subtilis and its protonophore-resistant mutants to test the hypothesis that C16:1 fatty acid levels relate to the bioenergetic properties of the mutant strains. Growth of the three mutants in the presence of palmitoleic acid restored the level of C16:1 fatty acids in the membrane lipids t...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are conserved evolutionary components of the innate immune system that are being tested as alternatives to antibiotics. Slow release of AMPs using biodegradable polymers can be advantageous in maintaining high peptide levels for topical treatment, especially in the oral environment in which dosage retention is challenged by drug dilution with saliva flow and by dru...
Owing to their excellent antimicrobial activities with a relatively low cost of production, lipopeptides are being intensively investigated as potential alternatives to popular antimicrobials. However, a critical obstacle for their application is a relatively high toxicity, hence a lot of attention has been paid to designing new molecules with optimal properties. In this study we synthesized th...
