Unraveling function and diversity of bacterial lectins in the human microbiome
Lectins are non-enzymatic carbohydrate binding proteins important to human cellular functions. Here, the authors characterize a lectin produced by a human associated bacterium, and show that interacts with myeloid cells in the blood and intestine, suggesting commensal microbiota lectins as a diverse...

description | Lectins are non-enzymatic carbohydrate binding proteins important to human cellular functions. Here, the authors characterize a lectin produced by a human associated bacterium, and show that interacts with myeloid cells in the blood and intestine, suggesting commensal microbiota lectins as a diverse and widespread mechanism to interact with host physiology. |
