Plant Defensive β-Glucosidases Resist Digestion and Sustain Activity in the Gut of a Lepidopteran Herbivore [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Two-component activated chemical defenses are a major part of many plants’ strategies to disrupt herbivory. The activation step is often the β-glucosidase-catalyzed removal of a glucose moiety from a pro-toxin, leading to an unstable and toxic aglycone ...

Sets of covariant residues modulate the activity and thermal stability of GH1 β-glucosidases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The statistical coupling analysis of 768 β-glucosidases from the GH1 family revealed 23 positions in which the amino acid frequencies are coupled. The roles of these covariant positions in terms of the properties of β-glucosidases were investigated by ...

Systematic studies of the interactions between a model polyphenol compound and microbial β-glucosidases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Lignin is a major obstacle for cost-effective conversion of cellulose into fermentable sugars. Non-productive adsorption onto insoluble lignin fragments and interactions with soluble phenols are important inhibition mechanisms of cellulases, including β ...
