Abstract:
The intestinal mucus layer, which is largely composed of the secreted mucin Muc2 provides a first line of defense in the intestine. Muc2 is a heavily O-glycosylated protein with core 1 and core 3 derived O-glycans as primary constituents. It plays an important role in host defense against the attaching/effacing (A/E) pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. However whether it provides protection against the invasive human pathogen Salmonella is still unclear. Furthermore, the role of O-glycosylation in mediating the protective role played by the Muc2 mucin against enteric pathogens has not been investi

Campylobacter spp., especially C. jejuni and C. coli, are the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in Europe. There is a recognised need to develop detection tools which can be performed on farms to facilitate reducing the presence of Campylobacter in poultry. A similar application could be beneficial for detection of C. fetus, a veterinary pathogen which causes significant economic loss in the cattle industry. Campylobacter species perform protein N-linked glycosylation and in C. jejuni at least 150 proteins, many of which are surface-exposed, may be modified. Therefore, the first porti

Abstract:
Raman spectroscopy is an established analytical technique for determining molecular structure, whose major drawback is lack of sensitivity. Enhanced Raman scattering techniques, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), utilise nanoscale substrates to enhance the Raman signal through the interaction of surface charges with the incident electromagnetic radiation. Here, nanoparticle-based SERS was used to detect dipicolinic acid (DPA), a biomarker for bacterial spores. Whilst this has been demonstrated previously, the use of a different nanopartic

Abstract:
Sugars can be divided into two major subfamilies: the simple sugars (monosaccharides) and the complex sugars (oligosaccharides or polysaccharides depending on the unit of the monosaccharides). Complexity in structure arises from the elevated number of isomers that even two simple monosaccharides can generate, for instance, two glucose units can combine into 11 different disaccharides, while two identical aminoacids form only one dipeptide. Carbohydrates, simple or complex, can be further linked to other molecules, as proteins and fats to form glycoproteins and glycolipids (known as glycoconju

PTMs can regulate protein-protein interaction, localization, protein turn-over, the active state of the protein, and much more. This can dramatically affect cell processes as relevant as gene expression, cell-cell recognition, and cell signaling. Along these lines, this Ph.D. thesis examines the role of two of the most important PTMs: glycosylation and phosphorylation. In chapters 2, 3 and 4, a 10,000 peptid

The opportunistic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses type IV pili (T4P) for adherence to, and rapid colonization of, surfaces via twitching motility. T4P are formed from thousands of pilin (PilA) subunits. Two groups of P. aeruginosa pilins were described previously (I and II), distinguished by protein length and sequence. PilA_I was glycosylated with an O-antigen subunit through the action of PilO/TfpO, encoded downstream of pilA_I. To determine if additional pilin variants existed, analysis of the pilin locus of >300 P. aeruginosa strains from a variety of environments was co

In this project, the role of the pmr-1 gene in the glycosylation process and in the host-microrganism interaction was analyzed in C. elegans model system. Glycosylation produces a large number of glycans, polysaccharides whose different morphology reflects the multiplicity of biological processes in which they are involved. The emerging role of glycans in the innate and acquired immunity of vertebrates makes them a target for the study of the molecular mechanisms underlying the host-pathogen interaction, in order to develop new therapeutic approaches.
