Engineering Galactose Oxidase to Increase Expression Level in E. coli, Enhance Thermostability and Introduce Novel Activities [PDF]
For the first time, we functionally expressed the fungal glycosylated copper-containing enzyme, galactose oxidase, in Escherichia coli. The generation of fully functional GOase confirms that the formation of the unusual thioether bond is an auto ...

The functional importance of structural differences between the mannitol-specific IIAmannitol and the regulatory IIAnitrogen [PDF]
The three-dimensional structures of the IIA domain of the mannitol-specific phosphoenol-pyruvate dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) of Escherichia coli and the regulatory IIAntr enzyme have been compared.

Background Fungal glucose dehydrogenases (GDHs) are FAD-dependent enzymes belonging to the glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase superfamily. These enzymes are classified in the “Auxiliary Activity” family 3 (AA3) of the Carbohydrate-Active enZymes ...

Carbohydrate- and conformation-dependent cargo capture for ER-exit [PDF]
Some secretory proteins leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by a receptor-mediated cargo capture mechanism, but the signals required for the cargo-receptor interaction are largely unknown.

CAZac: an activity descriptor for carbohydrate-active enzymes [PDF]
Abstract The Carbohydrate-Active enZYme database (CAZy; www.cazy.org) has been providing the reference classification of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) for >30 years. Based on literature survey, the sequence-based families of CAZymes are enriched with functional data by using the International Union of Biochemistry and ...

Modelling Reactions Catalysed by Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes [PDF]
Abstract Carbohydrate polymers are ubiquitous in biological systems and their roles are highly diverse, ranging from energy storage over mechanical stabilisation to mediating cell-cell or cell-protein interactions. The functional diversity is mirrored by a chemical diversity that results from the high flexibility of how different sugar ...

Cazypedia : carbohydrate-active enzymes, an introduction [PDF]
CAZypedia is an online, community-driven effort to assemble a comprehensive encyclopedia of the enzymes and binding proteins involved in the synthesis and degradation of complex carbohydrates. An evolving encyclopedia of carbohydrate-active enzymes – ”CAZymes” CAZypedia is inspired by, and closely connected with, the actively curated CAZy Database (www.
