This study aims to determine the concept of consumption in view Al-Ghazali and Muhammad Abdul Mannan on its relevance behavior modern Muslim society. type research is library using a quantitative approach method based secondary form books related scientific journals accordance with theme this primary data from Mannan. From results study, it can be concluded that according Islamic provisions reg...

Galactomannan biosynthesis in legume seed endosperms involves two Golgi membrane-bound glycosyltransferases, mannan synthase and galactomannan galactosyltransferase (GMGT). GMGT specificity is an important factor regulating the distribution and amount of (1-->6)-alpha-galactose (Gal) substitution of the (1-->4)-beta-linked mannan backbone. The model legume Lotus japonicus is shown now to have e...

PURPOSE There is evidence for the immunomodulation disorders in the response to intestinal flora in inflammatory bowel disease, however, the role of yeasts in the aetiopathogenesis of ulcerative colitis has not been fully clarified. The aim of this study was to assess the serum concentration of interleukin 10 (IL-10), serum levels of anti-mannan Candida antibodies and fungal colonization of the...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious autoimmune demyelinating disease leading to loss of neurological function. The design and synthesis of various altered peptide ligands of immunodominant epitopes of myelin proteins to alter the autoimmune response, is a promising therapeutic approach for MS. In this study, linear and cyclic peptide analogs based on the myelin basic protein 83-99 (MBP83-99) i...

A rat liver mannan-binding protein was isolated by affinity chromatography on invertase--Sepharose by a modification of the method of Kawasaki, Etoh & Yamashina [(1978) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 81, 1018-1024] and by a new method involving chromatography on mannose-Sepharose. The binding protein appears as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with an ...

An early consequence of starvation for inositol in yeast is inhibition of synthesis of the major cell wall components mannan and glucan. In looking for the mechanism of this inhibition, we found that the activity of the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of N-acetylglucosaminylpyrophosphoryldolichol was diminished in particular membrane preparations from cells starved for inositol. This loss of re...

There is considerable interest in studying the function of Bacteroides species resident in the human gastrointestinal (GI)-tract and the contribution they make to host health. Reverse genetics and protein expression techniques, such as those developed for well-characterized Escherichia coli cannot be applied to Bacteroides species as they and other members of the Bacteriodetes phylum have uniqu...

Two new mannose-binding lectins were isolated from garlic (Allium satiuum, ASA) and ramsons (All&m ursinum, AUA) bulbs, of the family Alliaceae, by affinity chromatography on immobilized mannose. The carbohydrate-binding specificity of these two lectins was studied by quantitative precipitation and hapten-inhibition assay. ASA reacted strongly with a synthetic linear (1 --$ 3)a-o-mannan and S. ...

The mannans from Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strains X2180-1A-5 and 4484-24D-1, both of which were shown to contain small amounts of phosphate (less than 0.2%), were fractionated on a column of diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex into five subfractions designated as fractions I to V. These subfractions contain different amounts of phosphate, ranging from 0.03 to 0.09 (strain X2180-1A-5) and from 0.0...

We have examined the effects of various mannans, glycoproteins, oligosaccharides, monosaccharides, and sugar phosphates on the binding and phagocytosis of yeast cell walls (zymosan) by mouse peritoneal macrophages. A phosphonomannan (PO(4):mannose ratio = 1:8:6) from kloeckera brevis was the most potent inhibitor tested; it inhibited binding and phagocytosis by 50 percent at concentrations of a...
