Glycosylation reactions mainly catalyzed by glycosyltransferases (Gts) occur almost
everywhere in the biosphere, and always play crucial roles in vital processes. In order to …

Pathogenic bacteria encode virulent glycosyltransferases that conjugate various glycans
onto substrate proteins via the N-or O-linkage. The HMW system in nontypeable …

Immune recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern
recognition receptors often activates proinflammatory NF-κB signalling. Recent studies …

Bacterial small molecule metabolites such as adenosine-diphosphate-d-glycero-β-d-manno-
heptose (ADP-heptose) and their derivatives act as effective innate immune agonists in …

Autotransporters are the core component of a molecular nano-machine that delivers cargo
proteins across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Part of the type V secretion …

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the disease cholera, is responsible for multiple
pandemics. V. cholerae binds to and colonizes the gastrointestinal tract within the human …

Extracellular polysaccharides and glycoproteins of pathogenic bacteria assist in adherence,
autoaggregation, biofilm formation, and host immune system evasion. As a result …

Long-held to be a post-translational modification unique to Eukarya, it is now clear that both
Bacteria and Archaea also perform protein glycosylation, namely the covalent attachment of …

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

Glycosylation is a ubiquitous process that is universally conserved in nature. The various
products of glycosylation, such as polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids, perform a …
