Understanding Aspergillus fumigatus galactosaminogalactan biosynthesis: A few questions remain
7 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Half a century after their discovery, polymers of N-acetylgalactosamine produced by the Aspergilli have garnered new interest as mediators of fungal virulence. Recent work has focused on the Aspergillus fumigatus secreted and cell wall-associated heteropolymer, galactosaminogalactan (GAG). This polymer, composed of galactose (Gal) and partially deacetylated N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), plays a role in a...
