The biochemical and molecular characterisation of respiratory mucins in TB
The role of the dominant respiratory mucins (MUC5AC and MUC5B) and MUC2 has been investigated in chronic airway diseases as it is the mucin glycoprotein that confers upon mucus its biological, rheological and physicochemical properties. Within South Africa, specifically the Western Cape, TB has …

Metabolism of host-derived carbohydrates by Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003
… in human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and the mucin glycoprotein. B. breve UCC2003 was also shown to cross-feed on sialic acid released from 3’ sialyllactose, a prominent HMO, by the extracellular sialidase activity of Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010. Chapter III reports on the transcriptional …

Modulation of airway mucin glycosylation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyocyanin
… levels of sialyl-Lewisx modifications on airway mucins in a mouse model and in in vitro cell culture. We found PCN to be a potent inducer of sialyl-Lewisx in both mouse airways and in the cultured airway epithelial cells. PCN increases the expression of ST3Gal-IV and C2/4GnT, two enzymes …
