PlantCAZyme: a database for plant carbohydrate-active enzymes [PDF]

open access: yesDatabase, 2014
PlantCAZyme is a database built upon dbCAN (database for automated carbohydrate active enzyme annotation), aiming to provide pre-computed sequence and annotation data of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) to plant carbohydrate and bioenergy research communities.

CAZac: an activity descriptor for carbohydrate-active enzymes [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research
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 ...

Homology to peptide pattern for annotation of carbohydrate-active enzymes and prediction of function [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Carbohydrate-active enzymes are found in all organisms and participate in key biological processes. These enzymes are classified in 274 families in the CAZy database but the sequence diversity within each family makes it a major task to ...

Approaches to Investigate Selective Dietary Polysaccharide Utilization by Human Gut Microbiota at a Functional Level

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The human diet is temporally and spatially dynamic, and influenced by culture, regional food systems, socioeconomics, and consumer preference. Such factors result in enormous structural diversity of ingested glycans that are refractory to digestion by ...

Genome-wide identification reveals conserved carbohydrate-active enzyme repertoire in termites

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Termites play an important role as decomposers of organic matter in forests by utilizing their gut symbionts and associated carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) to digest wood materials. However, there is a limited understanding of the entire repertoire

Carbohydrate-active enzymes in animal feed

open access: yesBiotechnology Advances, 2023
Considering an ever-growing global population, which hit 8 billion people in the fall of 2022, it is essential to find solutions to avoid the competition between human food and animal feed for croplands. Agricultural co-products have become important components of the circular economy with their use in animal feed.

Characterization of a novel multidomain CE15-GH8 enzyme encoded by a polysaccharide utilization locus in the human gut bacterium Bacteroides eggerthii

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Bacteroidetes are efficient degraders of complex carbohydrates, much thanks to their use of polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). An integral part of PULs are highly specialized carbohydrate-active enzymes, sometimes composed of multiple linked domains

Redirecting substrate regioselectivity using engineered ΔN123-GBD-CD2 branching sucrases for the production of pentasaccharide repeating units of S. flexneri 3a, 4a and 4b haptens

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The (chemo-)enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides has been hampered by the lack of appropriate enzymatic tools with requisite regio- and stereo-specificities.

Arabinogalactan proteins: focus on carbohydrate active enzymes [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are a highly diverse class of cell surface proteoglycans that are commonly found in most plant species. AGPs play important roles in many cellular processes during plant development, such as reproduction, cell proliferation, pattern formation and growth, and in plant-microbe interaction.
