SUMMARY:BIFI-Talk: Marcelo Guerín del IBMB-CSIC\, Barcelona
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1776147804327{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]BIFI-Talk: Marcelo Guerín del IBMB-CSIC\, Barcelona \nTítulo: Structural basis of glycan diversity in biological systems \nAbstract \nGlycosylation is one of the most prevalent posttranslational modifications of proteins and lipids. It markedly influences their structure and function\, and plays a central role in nearly every aspect of biology. A deeper understanding of glycosylation —and the ability to precisely and rationally modulate it— are essential for advancing our fundamental biological knowledge and for developing innovative therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases. \nIn this talk\, I will present our recent findings and advances in the following research areas: \n(i) Bacterial cell envelope biosynthesis and remodeling\, and its impact in host-pathogen interactions and vaccine development. Surface glycan polymers are crucial virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria. We identified enzymatic machineries assembling these polymers\, key for developing novel antimicrobials and enzyme-based vaccine synthesis protocols (Sci. Adv. 7:eabj4565\, 2021; Nat. Chem. Biol. 19:795-796\, 2023; Nat. Commun. 14:6694\, 2023; Nat. Commun. 15:5740\, 2024; Nat. Chem. Biol. 21:120-130\, 2025). \n(ii) Unveiling the role of gut microbiota glycan processing machinery in human health and disease. The gut symbiotic microbiota provides the complementary enzymatic machinery necessary to orchestrate the depolymerization of glycan structures into their sugar components that otherwise could not be processed by the host. We identified novel enzymatic activities and substrate specificities associated to N- and O-linked glycans breakdown\, including FucOB from Akkermansia muciniphila capable of converting universal O red blood cells and human kidney tissues into the rare Bombay phenotype. \n(iii) Glycoprotein folding and quality-control mechanisms in human diseases. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) glycoprotein folding quality control protein machineries survey glycoprotein folding in the early secretory pathway. We unveiled the structural and mechanistic aspects of the ER folding sensor UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT). This allows us to define the molecular basis of a novel congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) disease\, characterized by significant neurological dysfunction. \nIn our research\, we are using a truly multidisciplinary approach. To determine high-resolution structures\, we employ X-ray crystallography and single particle cryo-electron microscopy. To obtain mechanistic insight\, we combine structural studies with molecular biology\, protein/membrane biochemistry/biophysics and AI-driven computational methods. These approaches are frequently integrated with collaborative efforts in genomics\, transcriptomics\, proteomics\, cell biology\, synthetic organic chemistry and NMR spectroscopy. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
