Mushroom Bioactive Molecules as Anticancerous Agents: An Overview. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This review discusses the molecular mechanisms through which these compounds inhibit cancer progression, including the induction of reactive oxygen species, inhibition of mitotic kinase and angiogenesis, and suppression of topoisomerase activity. By providing the latest insights on these anti‐tumor agents and their pharmacological actions, our review ...

Starch biosynthetic genes and enzymes are expressed and active in the absence of starch accumulation in sugar beet tap-root [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Starch is the predominant storage compound in underground plant tissues like roots and tubers. An exception is sugar beet tap-root (Beta vulgaris ssp altissima) which exclusively stores sucrose.

ApuA, a multifunctional x-glucan-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus suis, mediates adhesion to porcine epithelium and mucus [PDF]

, 2010
We have identified apuA in Streptococcus suis, which encodes a bifunctional amylopullulanase with conserved -amylase and pullulanase substrate-binding domains and catalytic motifs.

Actinomyces spp. gene expression in root caries lesions [PDF]

, 2016
Background: studies of the distribution of Actinomyces spp. on carious and non-carious root surfaces have not been able to confirm the association of these bacteria with root caries, although they were extensively implicated as a prime suspect in root ...

Mechanisms of redundancy and specificity of the Aspergillus fumigatus Crh transglycosylases [PDF]

, 2019
Transglycosylases strengthen the fungal cell wall by forming a rigid network of crosslinks. Here, Fang et al. show that the five Crh transglycosylases of Aspergillus fumigatus are dispensable for cell wall integrity in vitro, and solve the crystal ...

Synthesis of highly branched alpha-glucans with different structures using GH13 and GH57 glycogen branching enzymes [PDF]

, 2019
Glycogen branching enzymes (GBEs) convert starch into branched alpha-glucan polymers. To explore if the amylose content of substrates effects the structure of the branched alpha-glucans, mixtures of amylose and amylopectin were converted by four ...

Synthesis of novel α-glucans with potential health benefits through controlled glucose release in the human gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

, 2020
The glycemic carbohydrates we consume are currently viewed in an unfavorable light in both the consumer and medical research worlds. In significant part, these carbohydrates, mainly starch and sucrose, are looked upon negatively due to their rapid and ...

Xylan degrading enzymes from fungal sources [PDF]

, 2015
Fungi have the ability to degrade xylan as the major component of plant cell wall hemicellulose. Fungi have evolved batteries of xylanolytic enzymes that concertedly act to depolymerise xylan backbones decorated with variable carbohydrate branches. As an
