Abstract
Carbohydrates are complex structures that still challenge analysts today because of their different levels of isomerism, notably the anomerism of the glycosidic bond. It has been shown recently that anomerism is preserved upon gas-phase fragmentation and that high-resolution ion mobility (IMS) can distinguish anomers. However, these concepts have yet to be applied to complex biological products. We have used high-resolution IMS on a cyclic device to characterize the reaction products of Uhgb_MS, a novel mannoside synthase of the GH130 family. We designed a so-called IMSn sequence consisting of (i) separating and isolating specific IMS peaks, (ii) ejecting ions to a pre-array store cell depending on their arrival time, (iii) inducing collisional activation upon reinjection, and (iv) performing multistage IMS analysis of the fragments. First, we applied IMS2 sequences to purely linked α1,2- and β1,2-mannooligosaccharides, which provided us with reference drift times for fragments of known conformation. Then, we performed IMSn analyses of enzymatically produced mannosides and, by comparison with the references, we succeeded in determining the intrachain anomerism of a α1,2-mannotriose and a mix-linked β/α1,2-mannotetraose-a first for a crude biological medium. Our results show that the anomerism of glycosides is maintained through multiple stages of collisional fragmentation, and that standalone high-resolution IMS and IMSn can be used to characterize the intrachain anomerism in tri- and tetrasaccharides in a biological medium. This is also the first evidence that a single carbohydrate-active enzyme can synthesize both α- and β-glycosidic linkages.

FEBS Open Bio 2019; 9:129-136.

Abstract
Cell wall mannan of the pathogenic yeast Candida krusei was prepared using the antibiotic Benanomicin A, which has a lectin-like function. The chemical structure of this molecule was found to be similar to that of mannan prepared from the same yeast by the conventional method using Fehling reagent. Only a few degradation products were detected when the mannan prepared using Fehling reagent was subjected to alkali treatment (β-elimination), but multiple α-1,2-linked oligosaccharides were detected when the mannan purified with Benanomicin A was treated with alkali. These results indicate that most of the O-linked sugar chains in mannan were lost under conventional conditions when exposed to the strongly alkaline Fehling reagent. In contrast, the O-glycosidic bond in mannan was not cleaved and the O-linked sugar chains were maintained and almost intact following treatment with the mild novel preparation method using Benanomicin A. Therefore, we argue that the new mannan preparation method using Benanomicin A is superior to conventional methods. In addition, our study suggests that some yeast mannans, whose overall structure has already been reported, may contain more O-linked sugar chains than previously recognized.

Abstract
β-1,2-Linked oligomannosides substitute the cell wall of numerous yeast species. Several of those including Candida albicans may cause severe infections associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised patients. β-1,2-Mannosides are known to be involved in the pathogenic process and to elicit an immune response from the host. In C. albicans, the synthesis of β-mannosides is under the control of a family of nine genes coding for putative β-mannosyltransferases. Two of them, CaBmt1 and CaBmt3, have been shown to initiate and prime the elongation of the β-mannosides on the cell-wall mannan core. In the present study, we have assessed the modulating activities of monovalent and multivalent iminosugar analogs on these enzymes in order to control the enzymatic bio-synthesis of β-mannosides. We have identified a monovalent deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) derivative that inhibits the CaBmt1-catalyzed initiating activity, and mono-, tetra- and polyvalent deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ) that modulate the CaBmt1 activity toward the formation of a single major product. Analysis of the aggregating properties of the multivalent iminosugars showed their ability to elicit clusterization of both CaBmt1 and CaBmt3, without affecting their activity. These results suggest promising roles for multivalent iminosugars as controlling agents for the biosynthesis of β-1,2 mannosides and for monovalent DNJ derivative as a first target for the design of future β-mannosyltransferase inhibitors.

Abstract
Pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi synthesize glycosphingolipids, which have a crucial role in growth and viability. Glycosphingolipids also contribute to fungal-associated pathogenesis. The opportunistic yeast pathogen Candida albicans synthesizes phospholipomannan (PLM), which is a glycosphingolipid of the mannosylinositol phosphorylceramide family. Through its lipid and glycan moieties, PLM contributes to the initial recognition of the yeast, causing immune system disorder and persistent fungal disease through activation of host signaling pathways. The lipid moiety of PLM activates the deregulation signaling pathway involved in yeast phagocytosis whereas its glycan moiety, composed of β-1,2 mannosides (β-Mans), participates to inflammatory processes through a mechanism involving Galectin-3. Biosynthesis of PLM β-Mans involves two β-1,2 mannosyltransferases (Bmts) that initiate (Bmt5) and elongate (Bmt6) the glycan chains. After generation of double bmtsΔ mutants, we show that Bmt5 has redundant activity with Bmt2, which can replace Bmt5 in bmt5Δ mutant. We also report that PLM is located in the inner layer of the yeast cell wall. PLM seems to be not essential for systemic infection of the yeast. However, defect of PLM β-mannosylation increases resistance of C. albicans to inhibitors of β-glucans and chitin synthesis, highlighting a role of PLM in cell wall homeostasis.

Abstract
β-1,2-Linked mannosides are expressed on numerous cell-wall glycoconjugates of the opportunistic pathogen yeast Candida albicans. Several studies evidenced their implication in the host-pathogen interaction and virulence mechanisms. In the present study, we characterized the in vitro activity of CaBmt3, a β-1,2-mannosyltransferase involved in the elongation of β-1,2-oligomannosides oligomers onto the cell-wall polymannosylated N-glycans. A recombinant soluble enzyme Bmt3p was produced in Pichia pastoris and its enzyme activity was investigated using natural and synthetic oligomannosides as potential acceptor substrates. Bmt3p was shown to exhibit an exquisite enzymatic specificity by adding a single terminal β-mannosyl residue to α-1,2-linked oligomannosides capped by a Manβ1-2Man motif. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the previously identified CaBmt1 and CaBmt3 efficiently act together to generate Manβ1-2Manβ1-2[Manα1-2]n sequence from α-1,2-linked oligomannosides onto exogenous and endogenous substrates.

Abstract
Polysaccharides such as α- and β-glucans, chitin, and glycoproteins extensively modified with both N- and O-linked carbohydrates are the major components of fungal surfaces. The fungal cell wall is an excellent target for the action of antifungal agents, since most of its components are absent from mammalian cells. Recognition of these carbohydrate-containing molecules by the innate immune system triggers inflammatory responses and activation of microbicidal mechanisms by leukocytes. This review will discuss the structure of surface fungal glycoconjugates and polysaccharides and their recognition by innate immune receptors.

Abstract
The presence of β-mannosides in their cell walls confers specific features on the pathogenic yeasts Candida albicans and Candida glabrata compared with non-pathogenic yeasts. In the present study, we investigated the enzymatic properties of Bmt1 (β-mannosyltransferase 1), a member of the recently identified β-mannosyltransferase family, from C. albicans. A recombinant soluble enzyme lacking the N-terminal region was expressed as a secreted protein from the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. In parallel, functionalized natural oligosaccharides isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a C. albicans mutant strain, as well as synthetic α-oligomannosides, were prepared and used as potential acceptor substrates. Bmt1p preferentially utilizes substrates containing linear chains of α-1,2-linked mannotriose or mannotetraose. The recombinant enzyme consecuti-vely transfers two mannosyl units on to these acceptors, leading to the production of α-mannosidase-resistant oligomannosides. NMR experiments further confirmed the presence of a terminal βMan (β-1,2-linked mannose) unit in the first enzyme product. In the future, a better understanding of specific β-1,2-mannosyltransferase molecular requirements will help the design of new potential antifungal drugs.

Abstract
A disaccharide-chicken serum albumin conjugate vaccine against Candida albicans infections has been developed by reverse engineering a protective monoclonal antibody, C3.1. The binding site of C3.1 binds short oligosaccharides of β1,2-linked mannopyranose residues present in the fungal cell wall phosphomannan. By delineating the fine detail of the molecular recognition of the cell wall β-mannan antigen, a disaccharide epitope was deduced to be the minimum size epitope that should induce the formation of protective antibody. Sequential functional group replacement of disaccharide hydroxyl groups to yield a series of monodeoxy and mono-O-methyl β1,2-linked mannobioside congeners established that three hydroxyl groups are essential for binding. Two of these, O-3 and O-4, are located on the internal mannose residue of the disaccharide, and a third, O-3', is located on the terminal mannose. Synthesis of a series of trisaccharides that mandate binding of either the reducing or nonreducing disaccharide epitopes provided the final indication that a disaccharide protein conjugate should have the potential to induce protective antibody. When disaccharide was conjugated to chicken serum albumin this vaccine produced antibodies in rabbits that recognized the native cell wall phosphomannan. In proof of concept protection experiments, three immunized rabbits showed a reduction in fungal burden when challenged with live C. albicans.

Abstract
Chemically defined glycoprotein conjugate composed of synthetically prepared mannan-derived heptamannoside with terminal β-1,2-linked mannose residue attached to the α-1,3-linked mannose residues and BSA as carrier protein (M7-BSA conjugate) was analysed for the capacity to induce protective humoral immunity and appropriate alteration cellular immunity. To identify protective antigenic structure of Candida cell wall mannan M7-BSA conjugate was used for BALB/c mice immunization. The obtained results were compared with placebo group and with heat-inactivated C. albicans whole cells immunization. The administration route of M7-BSA conjugate secondary booster injection significantly affected the intensity of humoral immune response and the specificity of produced antibodies. All prepared sera were able to elevate candidacidal activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in cooperation with complement. Moreover, polyclonal sera obtained after secondary subcutaneous (s.c.) booster injection of M7-BSA conjugate were able to induce candidacidal activity of PMN also in complement independent manner. M7-BSA conjugate immunization induced increases of phagocytic activity and respiratory burst of granulocytes, caused a raise of the proportion of CD3(+) T lymphocytes and increased the CD4(+)/CD8(+) T lymphocyte ratio. We observed also an increasing proportion of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells compared to immunization with heat inactivated whole C. albicans cells, which in turn promoted an increase of the CD8(+)CD25(+) cell proportion. Immunization with M7-BSA conjugate induced Th1, Th2 and Th17 immune responses as indicated by the elevation of relevant cytokines levels. These data provide some insights on the immunomodulatory properties of oligomannosides and contribute to the development of synthetic oligosaccharide vaccines against fungal diseases.

Abstract
Candida glabrata is often the second or third most common cause of candidiasis after Candida albicans. C. glabrata infections are difficult to treat, often resistant to many azole antifungal agents and are associated with a high mortality rate in compromised patients. We determined the antigenic structure of the cell-wall mannoproteins from three C. glabrata strains, NBRC 0005, NBRC 0622 and NBRC 103857. (1)H NMR and methylation analyses of the acetolysis products of these mannoproteins showed a significant difference in the amount of the β-1,2-linked mannose residue and side-chain structure. The C. glabrata NBRC 103857 strain contained up to the triose side chains and the nonreducing terminal of the triose was predominantly the β-1,2-linked mannose residue. By contrast, the mannans of the two former strains possessed up to the tetraose side chains and the amount of the β-1,2-linked mannose residue was very low. Larger oligosaccharides than tetraose in the acetolysis products of these mannans were identified as incomplete cleavage fragments by analyzing methylation, (1)H NMR spectra and the α1-2,3 mannosidase degradation reaction. Resistance to the antifungal drugs itraconazole and micafungin was significantly different in these strains. Interestingly, the NBRC 103857 strain, which involved a large amount of the β-1,2-linked mannose residues, exhibited significant sensitivity to these antifungal drugs.

Mannan has been shown to consist of α-1,2-, α-1,3-, α-1,6-, and β-1,2-linked mannopyranose units with few phosphate groups. Each Candida species has a unique mannan structure biosynthesized by sequential collaboration between species-specific mannosyltransferases. In particular, the β-1,2-linked mannose units have been shown to comprise a characteristic oligomannosyl side chain that is strongly antigenic. For these pathogenic Candida species, cell-surface mannan was also found to participate in the adhesion to the epithelial cells, recognition by innate immune receptors and development of pathogenicity. Therefore, clarification of the precise chemical structure of Candida mannan is indispensable for understanding the mechanism of pathogenicity, and for development of new antifungal drugs and immunotherapeutic procedures.

Mannan structural complexity is decreased when Candida albicans is cultivated in blood or serum at physiological temperature. Carbohydr Res 2011; 346:2752-9. [PMID: 22030461 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2011.09.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2011] [Revised: 09/19/2011] [Accepted: 09/24/2011] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
The Candida albicans cell wall provides an architecture that allows for the organism to survive environmental stress as well as interaction with host tissues. Previous work has focused on growing C. albicans on media such as Sabouraud or YPD at 30°C. Because C. albicans normally colonizes a host, we hypothesized that cultivation on blood or serum at 37°C would result in structural changes in cell wall mannan. C. albicans SC5314 was inoculated onto YPD, 5% blood, or 5% serum agar media three successive times at 30°C and 37°C, then cultivated overnight at 30°C in YPD. The mannan was extracted and characterized using 1D and 2D (1)H NMR techniques. At 30°C cells grown in blood and serum contain less acid-stable terminal β-(1→2)-linked d-mannose and α-(1→2)-linked d-mannose-containing side chains, while the acid-labile side chains of mannan grown in blood and serum contain fewer β-Man-(1→2)-α-Man-(1→ side chains. The decrement in acid-stable mannan side chains is greater at 37°C than at 30°C. Cells grown on blood at 37°C show fewer →6)-α-Man-(1→ structural motifs in the acid-stable polymer backbone. The data indicate that C. albicans, grown on media containing host-derived components, produces less complex mannan. This is accentuated when the cells are cultured at 37°C. This study demonstrates that the C. albicans cell wall is a dynamic and adaptive organelle, which alters its structural phenotype in response to growth in host-derived media at physiological temperature.

Abstract
The effect of Candida cell wall mannan-derived alpha-oligomannoside structural components on the modulation of the immune system and their role in protective immunity are studied here. Semi-synthetic alpha-mannoside-bovine serum albumin conjugates were used for immunization of rabbits. Dimeric alpha-mannoside, representing Candida antigenic factor 1, was used as a model of linear alpha-mannoside, and pentameric alpha-mannoside was used as a model of branched oligomannoside side chain structure. The induction of humoral immune response and the functionality of the serum tested by induction of peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) candidacidal activity are documented. Anti-Candida albicans serotype B immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) levels were higher than anti-serotype A following immunization with both conjugates. Dimer-conjugate postimmunization sera evidently enhanced C. albicans killing activity of PBLs in candidacidal assay. The study shows the importance of alpha-mannoside structures in perspective anti-Candida vaccine with a broad spectrum of effectiveness.

Abstract
We detected the beta-1,2-mannosyltransferases (beta-1,2-MTs), which participate in the biosynthesis of oligomannosyl side chains in the mannan acid-labile fraction, in a particulate insoluble fractions prepared from Candida albicans NIH B-792 strain cells grown at 27 degrees C and at 37 degrees C in a yeast extract-added Sabouraud liquid medium (YSLM). The beta-1,2-MT VI-6 prepared from the cells grown at 27 degrees C exhibited the maximum activity at pH 7.0 and at 30 degrees C. The beta-1,2-MT VI-6 activity was only slightly affected by Mn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, but completely inhibited by Zn2+ and Ni2+. The beta-1,2-MT activities from the cells grown at 37 degrees C were lower than that from the cells grown at 27 degrees C, especially on the longer beta-1,2-mannooligosaccharides than tetraose.

Abstract
The molecular interactions between commensal microorganisms and their host are basically different from those triggered by pathogens since they involve tolerance. When the commensal is genetically equipped to become an opportunistic pathogen, as is the case with Candida albicans, the picture becomes more complex. In this case, the balance between protection and invasion depends on host reactivity to altered microbial expression of ligands interacting with innate immune sensors. Based on experimental evidence obtained with C. albicans, we discuss the different molecular processes involved in the sensing of this important opportunistic human pathogen by a panel of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) according to the numerous pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that can be exposed at its surface. Beneficial or deleterious immune responses that either maintain a commensal state or favour damage by the yeast result from this dynamic interplay.

Abstract
The 3-aminopropyl glycoside of a heptasaccharide fragment of the cell wall mannan from Candida guilliermondii 18, which corresponds to the antigenic Factor 9, has been synthesized by a convergent approach based on glycosylation of a tetrasaccharide acceptor with a trisaccharide donor as the key step to give a protected heptasaccharide 17. Subsequent two-step deprotection of 17 afforded the heptamannoside 18, which was then conjugated with BSA using the squarate procedure.

Abstract
We investigated the structural and immunochemical characteristics of cell wall mannan obtained from Candida sojae JCM 1644, which is a new yeast species isolated from defatted soybean flakes. The results of a slide-agglutination test and of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using anti-factor sera to the pathogenic Candida species indicated that the cells and the C. sojae mannan were cross-reactive to the specific anti-factor sera against Candida albicans serotype A (FAb 6) and Candida guilliermondii (FAb 9). Two-dimensional homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn analysis indicated that the mannan consisted of various linked oligomannosyl side chains containing alpha-1,2-, alpha-1,3-, alpha-1,6- and beta-1,2-linked mannose residues. However, although the determinants of antigenic factors 6 and 9 could be not found in this mannan, branched side chains, Manbeta1-2Manalpha1-3[Manalpha1-6]Manalpha1-(2Manalpha1-)n2Man and a linear alpha-1,6-linked polymannosyl backbone, which are cross-reacted by FAbs 6 and 9, respectively, were identified. The mannan was subjected to acetolysis in order to determine the polymerization length of the alpha-1,2-linked oligomannosyl residue in the side chains. The result of (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of the released oligosaccharides showed that the remarkable regularity in the length of alpha-1,2-linked oligomannosyl side chains, which were previously found in mannans of other Candida species, is not observed in this mannan.

Abstract
Polysaccharides as antigens impose the problem of the proper ELISA assay. The indirect coating using biotin-avidin or lectins are therefore used. We tried to clarify the efficiency of different approaches to this problem. Our experiments clearly demonstrate that direct coating with mannan polysaccharide on high binding ELISA plates is superior to any other combination using any intermediate protein. On the other hand, the direct coating of the normal ELISA plate with mannan was of significantly lower (P=0.008) efficiency. The use of protein cannot be avoided in normal microplates. All previous statements are supported by experimental data in the paper.

Abstract
Antigen-specific humoral response, as well as the induction of cellular immunity generated by Candida dubliniensis mannan-human serum albumin (HSA) conjugate, a novel proposed immunogenic structure for subcellular vaccine, were evaluated in rabbits. Mannan-HSA conjugate-induced specific IgG and IgA increased significantly after boosters (IgG: P<0.001 and IgA: P<0.01). Mannan-HSA conjugate up-regulation of cell-surface expression of B-lymphocyte and granulocyte activation antigens CD25 and CD11b indicated the effective activation. Immunogenic effect of conjugate on T lymphocytes was demonstrated via inductive increase of CD4+ T lymphocyte subset and CD4+/CD8+ ratio and via induction of T(H)1 cytokines. Immunogenic effectiveness of mannan-HSA conjugate at a dose of 0.25 mg of mannan antigenic moiety overcame that of the mannan alone and of yeast whole cells, thus promising further application in Candida vaccine development.

Abstract
The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans produces large N-glycans with outer regions containing only mannose residues. The outer region comprises a primary branch with multiple secondary and tertiary branches. Tertiary branches are linked to secondary branches by phosphodiester bridges. In the current model of outer chain elongation in the genetically related yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, synthesis of the branches occurs sequentially, primary to tertiary. Thus, disruption of mannosylphosphorylation, the initial step in tertiary branch formation, should not affect primary or secondary branch production. Compared to its wild-type parent, a C. albicans mutant defective in tertiary branch mannosylphosphorylation (mnn4Delta/mnn4Delta) made outer regions with reduced susceptibility to low acid acetolysis treatment, suggesting that the secondary or primary region had been modified. Higher acid acetolysis conditions were required to release the secondary branches from the primary branches. The released secondary branches constitute the subset of the wild-type secondary branches that lack a phosphate group. In contrast, the acid-stable region of both wild-type and mnn4Delta S. cerevisiae strains required high acid acetolysis conditions to release the secondary branches, despite having smaller and less complex secondary and tertiary branches. These results suggest that the complex and longer secondary and tertiary branches of C. albicans affect the conformation of the acid-stable region to render it more susceptible to acetolysis which implies secondary and tertiary branch formation in C. albicans are interdependent events and occur concurrently, rather than sequentially.

Abstract
To examine the possibility of a vaccine for Candida albicans infection in the oral cavity, we induced salivary antibodies by immunization of killed-C. albicans ATCC 18804 on the palatine tonsils of rabbits. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reaction of salivary antibodies was high against C. albicans serotype A. The saliva antibodies greatly inhibited C. albicans adherence to cloned epithelial cells from human gingiva. Tonsillar immunizations of C. albicans ATCC 18804 induce salivary antibodies that prevent C. albicans adherence to epithelial cells, and thus should prove useful in the prevention of oral candidiasis caused by C. albicans serotype A.

Abstract
All cells of four Candida tropicalis strains IFO 0199 (Ct-0199), IFO 0587 (Ct-0587), IFO 1400 (Ct-1400), and IFO 1647 (Ct-1647), obtained by cultivation at 27 and 37 degrees C for 48 h in yeast extract-added Sabouraud liquid medium, showed the shapes of typical budding yeast and the same agglutination patterns against factor sera 1, 4, 5 and 6 in the commercially available kit 'Candida Check'. The cells of the C. tropicalis IFO 0589 strain display the same properties at 27 degrees C but formed hyphae at 37 degrees C. The cell wall mannan (Ct-0589-37-M) obtained from the strain cells cultured at 37 degrees C had lost most of its reactivity against factor sera 4, 5 and 6 in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in contrast to the mannan (Ct-0589-27-M) at 27 degrees C. The 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance patterns of the mannans obtained from the cells of the four C. tropicalis strains IFO 0199, IFO 0587, IFO 1400, and IFO 1647, obtained by cultivation at 37 degrees C, did not change compared to those at 27 degrees C. By contrast, the Ct-0589-37-M had significantly lost the beta-1,2-linked mannopyranose units, corresponding to the serum factors 5 and 6. These results show that the IFO 0589 strain is an unusual strain among the general C. tropicalis strains studied.

Abstract
The Candida glabrata IFO 0622 strain cells obtained after cultivation at 27 degrees C and at 37 degrees C and then at 27 degrees C (37-27 degrees C) for 48 h in yeast extract-added Sabouraud liquid medium (YSLM) showed the same agglutination patterns against factor sera 1, 4, 6, and 34 in the commercially available factor serum kit 'Candida Check'. On the other hand, the cells of the strain cultured at 37 degrees C had completely lost its reactivity against the factor serum 6. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of the cell wall mannans obtained from the strain cells showed the same reactivity with the agglutination patterns against the factor sera. The 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pattern of the mannan obtained from the strain cells cultured at 37 degrees C showed that the mannan had completely lost the non-reducing beta-1,2-linked mannopyranose unit in the mannotetraose Manbeta1-2Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-2Man, corresponding to the serum factor 6.

Abstract
The study of the antigenicity of pathogenic Candida albicans and Candida stellatoidea cells grown in BACTEC fungal medium (BFM) is useful for clinical analysis so as accurately to diagnose candidiasis. When C. albicans NIH A-207 was grown in BFM and fetal bovine serum-added BFM at the high temperatures of 36 and 40 degrees C, the cell density increased, with a mixture of yeast cells, pseudohyphae, and hyphae and with full hyphal development in the cultures compared with cultivation (mostly cells in yeast form) at 27 degrees C in both media. The mannans produced when cells were grown at these high temperatures were less reactive by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with factor sera 4, 5, and 6 in the commercially available kit 'Candida Check' than were the mannans obtained following growth at 27 degrees C. Based on 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, the mannans from cells grown at high temperatures had lost a phosphate group and a beta-1,2-linked mannopyranose unit, and had increased the number of non-reducing terminal alpha-1,3-linked mannopyranose units. We obtained similar results for mannans produced by C. albicans J-1012, C. albicans NIH B-792, C. albicans JCM 9061, C. stellatoidea ATCC 20408, and C. stellatoidea ATCC 36232 strains cultivated in BFM at 36 degrees C. These results suggest that both C. albicans and C. stellatoidea cells cultured at high temperatures, irrespective of the medium and shape of the cells, alter their antigenicity and chemical structure of cell wall mannans.

This pathway is thought to diverge from the usual pathway at the mannose-inositol-phospho-ceramide (MIPC) step. To confirm this hypothesis, a C. albicans gene homologue for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SUR1 gene was identified and named MIT1 as it coded for GDP-mannose:inositol-phospho-ceramide mannose transferase. Two copies of this gene were disrupted. Western blots of cell extracts revealed that strain mit1Delta contained no PLM. Thin layer chromatography and mass spectrometry confirmed that mit1Delta did not synthesize MIPC, demonstrating a role of MIT1 in the mannosylation of C. albicans IPCs. As MIT1 disruption prevented downstream beta-1,2 mannosylation, mit1Delta represents a new C. albicans mutant affected in the expression of these specific virulence attributes, which act as adhesins/immunomodulators. mit1Delta was less virulent during both the acute and chronic phases of systemic infection in mice (75 and 50% reduction in mortality, respectively). In vitro, mit1Delta was not able to escape macrophage lysis through down-regulation of the ERK1/2 phosphorylation pathway previously shown to be triggered by PLM. Phenotypic analysis also revealed pleiotropic effects of MIT1 disruption. The most striking observation was a reduced beta-mannosylation of phosphopeptidomannan. Increased beta-mannosylation of mannoproteins was observed under growth conditions that prevented the association of beta-oligomannosides with phosphopeptidomannan, but not with PLM. This suggests that C. albicans has strong regulatory mechanisms associating beta-oligomannoses with different cell wall carrier molecules. These mechanisms and the impact of the different presentations of beta-oligomannoses on the host response need to be defined.

Abstract
The antigenicity of Candida lusitaniae cells was found to be the same as that of Candida albicans serotype A cells, i.e. both cell wall mannans react with factors 1, 4, 5, and 6 sera of Candida Check. However, the structure of the mannan of C. lusitaniae was significantly different from that of C. albicans serotype A, and we found novel beta-1,2 linkages among the side-chain oligosaccharides, Manbeta1-->2Manbeta1--> 2Manalpha1-->2Manalpha1-->2Man (LM5), and Manbeta1-->2Man-beta1-->2Manbeta1-->2Manalpha1-->2Manalpha1-->2Man (LM6). The assignment of these oligosaccharides suggests that the mannoheptaose containing three beta-1,2 linkages obtained from the mannan of C. albicans in a preceding study consisted of isomers. The molar ratio of the side chains of C. lusitaniae mannan was determined from the complete assignment of its H-1 and H-2 signals and these signal dimensions. More than 80% of the oligomannosyl side chains contained beta-1,2-linked mannose units; no alpha-1,3 linkages or alpha-1,6-linked branching points were found in the side chains. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent inhibition assay using oligosaccharides indicated that LM5 behaves as factor 6, which is the serotype A-specific epitope of C. albicans. Unexpectedly, however, LM6 did not act as factor 6.

Abstract
Torulaspora delbrueckii starin IFO 0955 was examined with respect to its structural and serological properties of the cell wall mannan (Td-0955-M). Td-0955-M revealed significant reactivities with sera from a commercially available factor serum kit (Candida Check) in ELISA. Td-0955-M was investigated for its chemical structure by acetolysis under conventional and mild conditions. NMR and GC techniques were used as analytical techniques. The mannooligosaccharide fractions eluted from a Bio-Gel P-2 column were found to consist of Man(alpha1-2)Man, M2, Man(alpha1-2)Man(alpha1-2)Man and Man(beta1-2)Man(alpha1-2)Man, M3, Man(alpha1-2)Man(beta1-2)Man(beta1-2)Man(alpha1-2)Man, M5, and a new mannoheptaose, which possesses the structure, Man(alpha1-2)Man(beta1-2)Man(beta1-2)Man(beta1-2)Man(beta1-2)Man(alpha1-2)Man, M7. The results of the inhibition ELISA showed that the M7 oligosaccharide significantly inhibited the reactivities in the Td-0955-M-factor serum systems.

Abstract
Increasing the growth temperature from 28 to 37 degrees C reduced the expression of beta-1,2-oligomannoside epitopes on mannoproteins of Candida albicans serotypes A and B. In contrast, beta-1,2-mannosylation of phospholipomannan (PLM) remained constant despite a slight decrease in the relative molecular weight (M(r)) of this compound. At all growth temperatures investigated, serotype A PLM displayed an M(r) and an antigenicity different from those of serotype B PLM when they were tested with a panel of monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
Beta-1,2-linked mannosides from Candida albicans phosphopeptidomannan (PPM) bind to macrophages through a receptor independent from the macrophage alpha-linked mannose receptor and stimulate these cells to secrete immune mediators. Anti-beta-1,2-linked mannoside but not anti-alpha-linked mannoside antibodies produced after immunization with neoglycoproteins protect animals from disseminated candidiasis. In this study, peptides that mimic beta-1,2-linked mannosides were isolated using phage display methodology. A phage library expressing random peptides was panned with an anti-beta-1,2-linked mannoside monoclonal antibody (mAb). After three rounds of biopanning, the isolated phages were able to inhibit recognition of C. albicans by the mAb. Sixty percent of the phages had an identical DNA insert corresponding to the peptide sequence FHENWPS that was recognized specifically by the mAb. Injection of KLH-coupled peptide into mice generated high titers of polyclonal antibodies against C. albicans yeast cell walls. The anti-FHENWPS antibodies bound to C. albicans PPM and were inhibited by soluble beta-1,2-mannotetraose. Together, these data provide evidence for mimotopic activity of the peptide selected by biopanning with the anti-beta-1,2-oligomannoside mAb.

Abstract
The possibility of using 1-cyano-4-dimethylaminopyridinium tetrafluoroborate (CDAP) for activation of saccharide hydroxyl groups (instead of hazardous cyanogen bromide) is examined with cell-surface mannans of the yeasts Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida lambica and galactoglucoxylomannan of Cryptococcus laurentii. Direct conjugation with human serum albumin yielded soluble products with increased molecular size in comparison with the original polysaccharides. Immunodiffusion experiments revealed that conjugation did not affect the immunospecificity of the antigen epitppe.

Abstract
Salivary secretory IgA reacts with a group of heat-shock mannoproteins preferentially expressed on Candida albicans yeast cells and germ tubes grown at 37 degrees C. Since other environmental factors can also modulate the expression of those antigens, we have investigated the influence of the pH of the culture medium on the expression of the antigens reacting with human salivary IgA by C. albicans. By indirect immunofluorescence, yeast cells grown in Sabouraud glucose broth at 37 degrees C showed a statistically significant increase in reactivity with salivary IgA (p < 0.0001) when compared with cells grown at 25 degrees C at the 4 pH values studied (3.3, 5.9, 7.5, and 9.5), the highest reactivity and the major heat-shock effect being observed at pH 5.9. The decrease in reactivity with salivary IgA observed in C. albicans cells grown at pH values of 3.3 and 9.5 was confirmed by Western blotting. Salivary IgA reacted with polydispersed materials from the cell walls of molecular masses > 55 kDa, which were more expressed at neutral pH than at acidic or alkaline pH values. A similar reactivity was observed when the antigenic extracts were stained with an antiserum directed against oligosaccharides present in antigen 6 of C. albicans serotype A. The differences in reactivity presented by salivary IgA may be related to a decrease in the expression of polysaccharides present on the surfaces of the yeast cells of C. albicans grown at acidic or alkaline pH values. The low reactivity of salivary IgA with C. albicans cells grown at acidic pH values may help to explain the association between acidic saliva and the carriage of Candida in the oral cavity, as well as with oral candidiasis.

Abstract
Two standardized enzyme immunoassays for the serological diagnosis of candidiasis were developed. The first one detects antimannan antibodies, while the second one detects mannan with a sensitivity of 0.1 ng/ml. These tests were applied to 162 serum samples retrospectively selected from 43 patients with mycologically and clinically proven candidiasis caused by Candida albicans. Forty-three serum samples were positive for mannan, and 63 had significant antibody levels. Strikingly, only five serum samples were simultaneously positive by both tests. When the results were analyzed per patient, 36 (84%) presented at least one serum positive by one test. For 30 of them, positivity by one test was always associated with negative results by the other test for any of the tested sera. For six patients whose sera were positive for either an antigen or an antibody response, a balance between positivity by each test was evidenced by kinetic analysis of sera drawn during the time course of the infection. Controls consisted of 98 serum samples from healthy individuals, 93 serum samples from patients hospitalized in intensive care units, and 39 serum samples from patients with deep mycoses. The sensitivities and specificities were 40 and 98% and 53 and 94% for mannanemia or antibody detection, respectively. These values reached 80 and 93%, respectively, when the results of both tests were combined. These observations, which clearly demonstrate a disparity between circulation of a given mannan catabolite and antimannan antibody response, suggest that use of both enzyme immunoassays may be useful for the routine diagnosis of candidiasis.

Abstract
This study was conducted to define adhesive characteristics of the acid-stable moiety of the Candida albicans phosphomannoprotein complex (PMPC) on adherence of this fungus to marginal zone macrophages of the mouse spleen. Complete digestion of the acid-stable moiety (Fr.IIS) of the C. albicans PMPC with an alpha-mannosidase or hydrolysis with 0.6 N sulfuric acid destroyed adhesin activity, as determined by the inability of the soluble digests to inhibit yeast cell adherence to the splenic marginal zone. Fr.IIS adhesin activity was decreased following digestion with an alpha-1,2-specific mannosidase. Oligomannosyls consisting of one to six mannose units, which were isolated from the acid-stable part of the PMPC, did not inhibit yeast cell binding and thus do not function alone as adhesin sites in the PMPC. To gain more insight into the minimum requirements for adhesin activity, PMPCs were isolated from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae wild-type strain and from mutant strains mnn1, mnn2, and mnn4; the PMPCs were designated scwt/Fr.II, scmn1/Fr.II, scmn2/Fr.II, and scmn4/Fr.II, respectively. S. cerevisiae scmn2/Fr.II lacks oligomannosyl side chain branches from the outer core mannan, and scmn2/Fr.II was the only PMPC without adhesin activity. S. cerevisiae scwt/Fr.II, scmn1/Fr.II, and scmn4/Fr.II showed adhesin activities less than that of C. albicans Fr.II. These three S. cerevisiae PMPCs are generally similar to Fr. IIS, except that the S. cerevisiae structure has fewer and shorter side chains. Immunofluorescence microscopy show that the acid-stable part of the PMPC is displayed homogeneously on the C. albicans yeast cell surface, which would be expected for a surface adhesin. Our results indicate that both the mannan core and the oligomannosyl side chains are responsible for the adhesin activity of the acid-stable part of the PMPC.

Abstract
The cell wall is essential to nearly every aspect of the biology and pathogenicity of Candida albicans. Although it was initially considered an almost inert cellular structure that protected the protoplast against osmotic offense, more recent studies have demonstrated that it is a dynamic organelle. The major components of the cell wall are glucan and chitin, which are associated with structural rigidity, and mannoproteins. The protein component, including both mannoprotein and nonmannoproteins, comprises some 40 or more moieties. Wall proteins may differ in their expression, secretion, or topological location within the wall structure. Proteins may be modified by glycosylation (primarily addition of mannose residues), phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Among the secreted enzymes are those that are postulated to have substrates within the cell wall and those that find substrates in the extracellular environment. Cell wall proteins have been implicated in adhesion to host tissues and ligands. Fibrinogen, complement fragments, and several extracellular matrix components are among the host proteins bound by cell wall proteins. Proteins related to the hsp70 and hsp90 families of conserved stress proteins and some glycolytic enzyme proteins are also found in the cell wall, apparently as bona fide components. In addition, the expression of some proteins is associated with the morphological growth form of the fungus and may play a role in morphogenesis. Finally, surface mannoproteins are strong immunogens that trigger and modulate the host immune response during candidiasis.

Abstract
The cell wall of Candida albicans not only is the structure in which many biological functions essential for the fungal cells reside but also is a significant source of candidal antigens. The major cell wall components that elicit a response from the host immune system are proteins and glycoproteins, the latter being predominantly mannoproteins. Both the carbohydrate and protein moieties are able to trigger immune responses. Although cell-mediated immunity is often considered to be the most important line of defense against candidiasis, cell wall protein and glycoprotein components also elicit a potent humoral response from the host that may include some protective antibodies. Proteins and glycoproteins exposed at the most external layers of the wall structure are involved in several types of interactions of fungal cells with the exocellular environment. Thus, coating of fungal cells with host antibodies has the potential to influence profoundly the host-parasite interaction by affecting antibody-mediated functions such as opsonin-enhanced phagocytosis and blocking the binding activity of fungal adhesins for host ligands. In this review, the various members of the protein and glycoprotein fraction of the C. albicans cell wall that elicit an antibody response in vivo are examined. Although a number of proteins have been shown to stimulate an antibody response, for some of these species the response is not universal. On the other hand, some of the studies demonstrate that certain cell wall antigens and anti-cell wall antibodies may be the basis for developing specific and sensitive serologic tests for the diagnosis of candidasis, particularly the disseminated form. In addition, recent studies have focused on the potential for antibodies to cell wall protein determinants to protect the host against infection. Hence, a better understanding of the humoral response to cell wall antigens of C. albicans may provide the basis for the development of (i) effective procedures for the serodiagnosis of disseminated candidiasis and (ii) novel prophylactic (vaccination) and therapeutic strategies for the management of this type of infection.

Abstract
We have previously reported the presence of phosphate bound beta-1,2 linked oligomannosides with unusually high degrees of polymerization (DP > 7) in the mannan of Candida albicans strain VW32. To confirm this observation, we have prepared these oligomannosides from the mannan of C. albicans strain NIH A 207. Gel filtration chromatography and TLC analysis revealed DP up to 14. For both strains, NMR analysis confirmed the exclusive presence of beta-1,2 linkages in the pools of oligomannosides with a DP higher than 6 which presented an average DP of 10.6 (VW32) and 10.4 (NIH A 207). These results are important to consider in relation with the ability of these C. albicans derived oligomannosides to trigger TNFalpha synthesis according to their DP.

Abstract
A particulate insoluble enzyme fraction containing mannosyltransferases from Candida guilliermondii IFO 10279 strain cells was obtained as the residue after extracting a 105,000 x g pellet of cell homogenate with 1% Triton X-100. Incubation of this fraction with a mannopentaose, Manalpha1-->3(Manalpha1-->6)Manalpha1-->2Manalpha1+ ++-->2Man, in the presence of GDP-mannose and Mn2+ ion at pH 6.0 gave a third type of beta-1,2 linkage-containing mannohexaose, Manbeta1-->2Manalpha1-->3(Manalpha1-->6)Manalpha1++ +-->2Manalpha1-->2Man , the structure of which was identified by means of a sequential NMR assignment. The results of a substrate specificity study indicated that the beta-1,2-mannosyltransferase requires a mannobiosyl unit, Manalpha1--> 3Manalpha1-->, at the nonreducing terminal site. We synthesized novel oligosaccharides using substrates possessing a nonreducing terminal alpha-1,3-linked mannose unit prepared from various yeast mannans. Further incubation of the enzymatically synthesized oligosaccharide with the enzyme fraction gave the following structure, Manbeta1-->2Manbeta1-->2Manalpha1-->3(Manalpha1- ->6)Manalpha1--> 2Manalpha1-->2Man, which has been found to correspond to antigenic factor 9. Incubation of Candida albicans serotype B mannan with the enzyme fraction gave significantly transformed mannan, which contains the third type of beta-1,2-linked mannose units.
