Structural and thermodynamic analyses of a novel β‐1,2‐glucan binding mode in the ABC transporter solute‐binding protein Chy400_4166 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cyclic β‐1,2‐glucan (CβG)‐associated solute‐binding protein of type I ABC transporter was originally identified in Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a phototrophic bacterium. Crystal structures in complex with CβGs revealed unique binding modes that are fundamentally distinct from that of the short β‐1,2‐glucooligosaccharides‐binding protein.

α‐1,3‐Glucan Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Full Virulence of Colletotrichum graminicola, but Not for Evasion of PAMP‐Triggered Immunity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.

Single‐Nucleus Transcriptome Analysis Provides New Insights Into B Chromosome Elimination in Sorghum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT B chromosomes are supernumerary entities found in many plant species, with some exhibiting tissue‐specific elimination. In Sorghum purpureosericeum, extensive B chromosome elimination occurs during embryogenesis affecting most of the embryonic organs, leaving the B chromosome maintained mainly in limited regions of meristems.

Synthesis of β-glucanase by Candida utilis

, 2012
β-glukanaze kataliziraju hidrolizu polisaharida građenih od glukoznih jedinica međusobno povezanih β-glikozidnim vezama. β-glukanaze su pretežno ekstracelularni enzimi i izlučuju se u tekući medij pri uzgoju mikroorganizama. Za industrijsku proizvodnju β-

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase from the non‐genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain TG‐M5‐337

EFSA Journal
The food enzyme endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase (3‐(1,3;1,4)‐β‐d‐glucan 3(4)‐glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.6) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain TG‐M5‐337 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co., Ltd. The food enzyme was considered free from

Bipartite and tripartite Cucumber mosaic virus-based vectors for producing the Acidothermus cellulolyticus endo-1,4-β-glucanase and other proteins in non-transgenic plants

BMC Biotechnology, 2012
Background Using plant viruses to produce desirable proteins in plants allows for using non-transgenic plant hosts and if necessary, the ability to make rapid changes in the virus construct for increased or modified protein product yields.

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Trichoderma species from typical forests system in China: Geographical distribution and comparative genome-wide evaluation of selected species related to biocontrol

Mycology
In this study, we isolated 633 Trichoderma strains from 15 forest types across six climate zones. Our findings revealed that species diversity was highly underestimated, with 239 isolates identified as new species based on ITS, rpb2, and tef1 sequences ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Effect of the use of dilute alkaline prior to Bacillus subtilis-based biocontrol steeping and germination conditions on red sorghum malt β-glucanase activities and residual β-glucans

, 2013
peer reviewedMalting is the ideal stage to deal with β-glucans. Their hydrolysis is very important as the diffusion of both hormones and hydrolytic enzymes in the endosperm of germinated grain depend on it.
