Figure 1From: Variation in 12 porcine genes involved in the carbohydrate moiety assembly of glycosphingolipids does not account for differential binding of F4 Escherichia coliand their fimbriaeF4 ETEC binding on GSLs and the 12 investigated genes of the cerebroside-sulfatid pathway. The carbohydrate moiety of GSLs has been shown to bind F4 ETEC and their fimbriae. According to Coddens et al. [4], galactosylceramide Galβ1Cer binds to F4ab/ac ETEC and fimbriae. Twelve genes involved in the carbohydrate moiety assembly of glycosphingolipids were selected from the cerebroside-sulfatid region of the sphingolipid metabolism pathway (adapted from KEGG pathway 00600). The solid lines represent molecular interaction or relation, the dashed lines represent linked to another map (see http://www.genome.jp/kegg-bin/show_pathway%3Fmap00600 for further details).Back to article page
