Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) in the gut microbiome
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2022The 1013-1014 microorganisms present in the human gut (collectively known as the human gut microbiota) dedicate substantial percentages of their genomes to the degradation and uptake of carbohydrates, indicating the importance of this class of molecules.

Building mutational bridges between carbohydrate-active enzymes
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2022 The commercial value of specialty carbohydrates and glycosylated compounds has sparked considerable interest in the synthetic potential of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). Protein engineering methods have proven to be highly successful in expanding the range of glycosylation reactions that these enzymes can perform efficiently and cost ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2006 Enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds are involved in carbohydrate biosynthesis and remodelling. Microbial carbohydrate-active enzymes form the basis of current green technology in the food, feed, starch, paper and pulp industries and ...

Role of carbohydrate-active enzymes in mycorrhizal symbioses
Essays in Biochemistry, 2023Abstract Mycorrhizal fungi form mutually beneficial interactions with a wide range of terrestrial plants. During this symbiosis, the associated fungus provides mineral nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, to its host plant in exchange of photosynthesis-derived carbohydrates.

Enzyme promiscuity of carbohydrate active enzymes and their applications in biocatalysis
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2020The application of biocatalysis for the synthesis of glycans and glycoconjugates is a well-established and successful strategy, both for small and large scale synthesis. Compared to chemical synthesis, is has the advantage of high selectivity, but biocatalysis had been largely limited to natural glycans both in terms of reactivity and substrates.

A census of carbohydrate-active enzymes in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana
Plant Molecular Biology, 2001The synthesis, modification, and breakdown of carbohydrates is one of the most fundamentally important reactions in nature. The structural and functional diversity of glycosides is mirrored by a vast array of enzymes involved in their synthesis (glycosyltransferases), modification (carbohydrate esterases) and breakdown (glycoside hydrolases and ...

Carbohydrate-active enzymes: sequences, shapes, contortions and cells
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2016The enzyme-catalysed degradation of oligo and polysaccharides is of considerable interest in many fields ranging from the fundamental–understanding the intrinsic chemical beauty–through to the applied, including diverse practical applications in medicine and biotechnology.

Exploring the sheep rumen microbiome for carbohydrate-active enzymes
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2015The rumen is a complex ecosystem enriched for microorganisms able to degrade biomass during the animal's digestion process. The recovery of new enzymes from naturally evolved biomass-degrading microbial communities is a promising strategy to overcome the inefficient enzymatic plant destruction in industrial production of biofuels. In this context, this

Electrostatic studies of carbohydrate active enzymes
1995Abstract Most charged or titratable residues reside on the protein surface. Each of such residues will exhibit a titration behaviour that is dependent on the local context around the residue. As a consequence both pH, salt and docking of a ligand into the binding cavity of a protein can be expected to alter the protein electrostatics.
