Funded Activity Summary

Carbohydrate language changes in vertebrate-pathogen co-evolution. This project aims to understand protein glycosylation’s role in host-pathogen relationships and cross-species transmission. Species specific sugars extensively modify cell surface and body fluid proteins. These glycans build a universal language that cells use and pathogens abuse. This project will use glycomics and glycoproteomics to uncover how pathogens learned to speak and interpret glyco-languages between different species. This project is expected to develop a glycan dictionary which could reveal host-pathogen co-evolution and glycosylation evolution in the Chordata phylum and counteract zoonoses threats.
