Structural and Biosynthetic Diversity of Nonulosonic Acids (NulOs) That Decorate Surface Structures in Bacteria

Nathan D. McDonald et al.

Summary: NulOs are a diverse family of 9-carbon alpha-keto acid sugars found in bacteria, including sialic acids and prokaryote-specific NulOs. These sugars play important roles in bacterial biosynthesis, motility, biofilm formation, host colonization, and immune evasion, despite their structural diversity.

Exploring the Impact of Ketodeoxynonulosonic Acid in Host-Pathogen Interactions Using Uptake and Surface Display by Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae

Sudeshna Saha et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the presence of anti-Kdn antibodies in humans, suggesting a potential role for Kdn in combating pathogens that rely on nonhuman sialic acids for colonization and virulence. The interaction between Kdn and the immune system provides insights for potential therapeutic interventions against pathogenic bacteria that cloak themselves in external sialic acids.

The metalloprotein YhcH is an anomerase providing N-acetylneuraminate aldolase with the open form of its substrate

Takfarinas Kentache et al.

Summary: N-acetylneuraminate (Neu5Ac) is a sugar commonly found in vertebrates and some bacteria, serving as an energy source for certain prokaryotes like Escherichia coli. The aldolase NanA in E. coli and its human homolog NPL were found to preferentially metabolize the open form of Neu5Ac. Additionally, the Neu5Ac anomerase NanM was able to stimulate the utilization of both beta and alpha-anomers by NanA in vitro.

Milton H. Saier et al.

Summary: The Transporter Classification Database (TCDB) is a freely accessible reference resource providing comprehensive information about transporters from various organisms, and is the only transport protein classification database adopted by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The database has seen a significant increase in proteins and transport systems since its last update in 2016, with new features including a chemical ontology for substrates, new superfamilies, and novel subclasses of transport systems.
