Diets high in beans are associated with lower rates of chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, and the content of dietary fibers varies among different market classes of dry bean. In this study, we evaluated the dietary fiber content in a Middle American diversity panel (MDP) of common bean and evaluated the genetic architecture of the various dietary fiber components. The dietary fiber components included insoluble and soluble dietary fibers as well as the antinutritional raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs; raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose). All variables measured differed among market classes and entries. Colored bean seeds had higher levels of insoluble dietary fibers with the black market class showing also the highest raffinose and stachyose content. Cultivars and lines released since 1997 had higher insoluble dietary fibers and RFO content in race Durango.<br /><br /> Higher levels of RFOs were also observed in cultivars with type II growth habit that was a recent breeding target in Durango race germplasm. Candidate genes for dietary fiber traits, especially homologs to two main genes in the RFO biosynthesis pathway, were identified. The knowledge of diversity of dietary fibers in the MDP accompanied with the identification of candidate genes could effectively improve dietary fiber The role of asparagine-linked carbohydrate in natural killer cell-mediated Chinese hamster ovary cell lines with specific lesions in the formation of glycoconjugates were tested for their sensitivity to lysis by interferon-boosted human natural killer cells. We report here that the type of asparagine-linked carbohydrate present on target cell glycoproteins determines their susceptibility to natural killer lysis. [http://allinno.com/product/healthcare/671.html 2'-Fucose lactose] tested were Chinese hamster ovary parent cells and Lec1, Lec2, and Lec8 mutants. Lec8 and Lec2 cells show an overall reduction of galactose andor sialic acid in their glycoconjugates due to defects in the translocation of UDP-galactose and CMP-sialic acid, respectively. Due to a specific block in N-linked carbohydrate processing, Lec1 cells produce only high mannose-type oligosaccharides, but their glycolipids are identical to those of the parent.<br /><br /> Both Lec2 and Lec8 mutants are more sensitive to natural killer lysis than the parent cells. This is consistent with their extensive reduction in cell surface sialic acid. Furthermore, Lec1 mutants are more susceptible to natural killer lysis than the parent cells. To confirm that the increased natural killer sensitivity of Lec1 cells was due to the modification of N-linked carbohydrate, parent cells were treated with swainsonine, a specific inhibitor of N-linked oligosaccharide processing.

In both species the antibody reacts with proteins with Mr approximately , 37, and 27, presumed to be glycoproteins since the d-41 epitope is destroyed by periodate oxidation but unaffected by extensive Pronase digestion.<br /><br /> Polyclonal antibodies raised against the mixture of d-41 reactive glycoproteins that had been purified by immunoaffinity chromatography are potent inhibitors of D. discoideum adhesion, and adhesion-blocking activity is neutralized extensively and equivalently by each of the purified glycoproteins from D. discoideum with which d-41 reacts. In contrast, polyclonal antibodies raised against the same purified glycoproteins after they had been oxidized with periodate do not block cell-cell adhesion although they react with the glycoproteins with Mr approximately , 37, and 27 and bind as extensively to the surface of aggregating D. discoideum cells as do the adhesion-blocking polyclonal antibodies. When taken together, these results raise the possibility that some component of the d-41 binding oligosaccharide Design and synthesis of sialyl Lewis x mimics as E-selectin inhibitors.The design and synthesis of novel beta-C-mannosides that inhibit the binding of sialyl Lewis x to E-selectin are described.<br /><br /> Compounds that contained a phenyl substituent at the C-6 position were found to have increased potency.Sweet success.
