    Abstract Glycans (carbohydrate chains) of marine creatures are rich and diverse in polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids. The chains that are metabolized by glycan-related enzymes (glycosyltransferases and glycosidases) are recognized by glycan-binding proteins (lectins) which regulate cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, and death. Marine glycomics that involves the genome and transcriptome accelerates our understanding of the evolution of glycans, glycan-related enzymes, and lectins. From 2017 to 2019, the Special Issue "Marine Glycobiology, Glycomics and Lectins" of the journal Marine Drugs published scientific articles and reviews, on the background of "glycobiology"-that is, glycan-based biosciences. The aim was to promote the discovery of novel biomolecules that contribute to drug development and clinical studies. This has great potential for establishing connections between the fields of both human health and marine life sciences.This book contains 11 scientific papers representing current topics in comprehensive glycosciences related to therapeutic agents from marine natural products, as outlined

    Abstract KRAS mutations linked with cancer. Flavonoids were docked against KRAS G12C and G12D receptors. Abyssinone III, alpha naphthoflavone, beta naphthoflavone, abyssinone I, abyssinone II and beta naphthoflavone, genistin, daidzin showed good docking scores against KRAS G12C and G12D receptors, respectively. The MD simulation data revealed that Rg, RMSD, RMSF, and SASA values were within acceptable limits. Alpha and beta naphthoflavone showed good binding energies with KRAS G12C and G12D receptors. DFT and MEP analysis highlighted the nucleophilic and electrophilic zones of best-docked flavonoids. A novel avenue for the control of KRAS G12C and G12D mutations is made possible by flavonoids.

    Abstract: Nucleoside analogs have been widely used as antiviral, antitumor, and antiparasitic agents due to their ability to inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. Adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, thymidine and uridine analogs such as didanosine, vidarabine, remdesivir, ... ...

    Abstract Nucleoside analogs have been widely used as antiviral, antitumor, and antiparasitic agents due to their ability to inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. Adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, thymidine and uridine analogs such as didanosine, vidarabine, remdesivir, gemcitabine, lamivudine, acyclovir, abacavir, zidovusine, stavudine, and idoxuridine showed remarkable anticancer and antiviral activities. In our previously published articles, our main intention was to develop newer generation nucleoside analogs with acylation-induced modification of the hydroxyl group and showcase their biological potencies. In the process of developing nucleoside analogs, in silico studies play an important role and provide a scientific background for biological data. Molecular interactions between drugs and receptors followed by assessment of their stability in physiological environments, help to optimize the drug development process and minimize the burden of unwanted synthesis. Computational approaches, such as DFT, FMO, MEP, ADMET prediction, PASS prediction, POM analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation, are the most popular tools to culminate all preclinical study data and deliver a molecule with maximum bioactivity and minimum toxicity. Although clinical drug trials are crucial for providing dosage recommendations, they can only indirectly provide mechanistic information through researchers for pathological, physiological, and pharmacological determinants. As a result, in silico approaches are increasingly used in drug discovery and development to provide mechanistic information of clinical value. This article portrays the current status of these methods and highlights some remarkable contributions to the development of nucleoside analogs with optimized bioactivity.

    Abstract We studied localization and physiological activities of a lectin showing specific binding to N-acetylhexosamines, termed HOL-18, purified from Japanese black sponge (Halichondria okadai). Antiserum against the lectin was generated in rabbit and applied for immunohistochemical analyses. HOL-18 was expressed specifically around water pores and on spicules of sponge tissues. It showed strong binding to a variety of N-acetylhexosamines: N-acetyl D-glucosamine, N-acetyl D-galactosamine, N-acetyl mannosamine, N-acetyl muramic acid, and N-acetyl neuraminic acid. Hemagglutination induced by the lectin was inhibited by lipopolysaccharides and a peptidoglycan. HOL-18 inhibited growth of a gram-positive bacterium (Listeria monocytogenes), gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella boydii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and a fungus (Aspergillus niger). It displayed anti-biofilm activity against P. aeruginosa. HOL-18 was internalized into conidiophores of A. niger, and displayed notable antifungal activity. Fluorescence microscopy revealed binding and incorporation of the lectin into human cancer cell lines HeLa, MCF-7, and T47D, but not Caco-2. HOL-18 displayed dose-dependent cytotoxic effects against HeLa, MCF-7, and T47D, with respective IC

    Abstract R-type lectins are a widespread group of sugar-binding proteins found in nearly all domains of life, characterized by the presence of a carbohydrate-binding domain that adopts a β-trefoil fold. Mytilectins represent a recently described subgroup of β-trefoil lectins, which have been functionally characterized in a few mussel species (Mollusca, Bivalvia) and display attractive properties, which may fuel the development of artificial lectins with different biotechnological applications. The detection of different paralogous genes in mussels, together with the description of orthologous sequences in brachiopods, supports the formal description of mytilectins as a gene family. However, to date, an investigation of the taxonomic distribution of these lectins and their molecular diversification and evolution was still lacking. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the evolutionary history of mytilectins, revealing an ancient monophyletic evolutionary origin and a very broad but highly discontinuous taxonomic distribution, ranging from heteroscleromorphan sponges to ophiuroid and crinoid echinoderms. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of mytilectins display a chimera-like architecture, which combines the β-trefoil carbohydrate recognition domain with a C-terminal pore-forming domain, suggesting that the simpler structure of most functionally characterized mytilectins derives from a secondary domain loss.
