Oligosaccharide Presentation Modulates the Molecular Recognition of Glycolipids by Galectins on Membrane Surfaces

Marta G. Lete et al.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction between glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and galectins using liposomes as membrane mimicking scaffolds. The results showed different binding capacities of galectins towards glycans depending on whether they were free oligosaccharides or part of GSL inserted into a lipid bilayer.

Reading the glyco-code: New approaches to studying protein-carbohydrate interactions

Simon Wisnovsky et al.

Summary: The surface of living cells is covered with carbohydrate molecules that bind to functional proteins, modulating protein and cell function. Recent advances in cell-based glycan arrays and glycogenomic profiling have allowed for precise analysis of protein-carbohydrate interactions. These methods create exciting opportunities for studying the role of glycans in physiology and disease.

Glycocalyx crowding with mucin mimetics strengthens binding of soluble and virus-associated lectins to host cell glycan receptors

Daniel J. Honigfort et al.

Summary: The study utilized synthetic glycopolymer mimetics to model the mucosal glycocalyx on red blood cells and evaluated its impact on lectin and virus adhesion. The results suggest that the glycocalyx inhibits adhesion of lectins and viruses in a size- and density-dependent manner, supporting the concept of mucins as protective shields against pathogens.

Immunoprotective neo-glycoproteins: Chemoenzymatic synthesis of multivalent glycomimetics for inhibition of cancer-related galectin-3

Viktoria Heine et al.

Summary: Galectin-3 plays a crucial role in cancerogenesis, and targeting it with artificial glycomimetics has shown a strong inhibitory effect on cancer cells. The synthesized neo-glycoproteins exhibit high selectivity, non-toxicity, and efficiency in targeting exogenous galectin-3, offering potential for immunomodulatory treatment of galectin-3-overexpressing cancers.

Cross-Linking Effects Dictate the Preference of Galectins to Bind LacNAc-Decorated HPMA Copolymers

Sara Bertuzzi et al.

Summary: The interaction of multi-LacNAc-containing HPMA copolymers with human galectin-1 and galectin-3 was analyzed through NMR, cryo-EM, and DLS experiments. The study showed stronger interaction with Gal-3 CRD for the trivalent ligand arrangement, while large cross-linked supramolecules were observed for Gal-1 in the presence of multivalent LacNAc entities.

Membrane Mimetic Chemistry in Artificial Cells

Jacob A. Vance et al.

Summary: Lipid membranes in cells are fluid structures that are dynamic and essential for all life forms on Earth. Efforts to mimic the structure and function of lipid membranes are crucial for creating life-like artificial cells. Chemistry that mimics membrane properties can be used to recapitulate biological phenomena.
