Glycan-Based Shaping Of The Microbiota During Primate Evolution
2021-02-10
Abstract excerpt
Genes encoding certain glycosyltransferases are thought to be under relatively high selection pressure, due to the involvement of the glycans that they synthesize in host-microbe interactions. Here we used a mouse model to investigate whether the loss of α-1,3-galactosyltransferase ( GGTA1 ) function and Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-R (αGal) expression during primate evolution might have affected host-microbiota intera...
