Characterization of a feruloyl esterase from Aspergillus terreus facilitates the division of fungal enzymes from Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 of the carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZy) database. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol, 2018
Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) are accessory enzymes for plant biomass degradation, which catalyse hydrolysis of carboxylic ester linkages between hydroxycinnamic acids and plant cell‐wall carbohydrates.

Insights into a water-mediated catalytic triad architecture in CE20 carbohydrate esterases [PDF]

Nature Communications
Carbohydrate esterases modify polysaccharides by removing different ester moieties thereby affecting their physicochemical properties and their accessibility by glycoside hydrolases. We determined the full-length structures of two members (Fl8CE20_II and

Structural and biochemical characterization of the exopolysaccharide deacetylase Agd3 required for Aspergillus fumigatus biofilm formation [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
The exopolysaccharide galactosaminogalactan (GAG) is an important virulence factor of the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Here, the authors study an A.

Glucuronoyl esterase - Novel carbohydrate esterase produced bySchizophyllum commune [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2006
The cellulolytic system of the wood‐rotting fungus Schizophyllum commune contains an esterase that hydrolyzes methyl ester of 4‐O‐methyl‐d‐glucuronic acid. The enzyme, called glucuronoyl esterase, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from a cellulose‐spent culture fluid.

Screening of novel fungal Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 enzymes identifies three novel dual feruloyl/acetyl xylan esterases

FEBS Letters, 2022
Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are important enzymes for plant biomass degradation and are both present in Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 (CE1) of the Carbohydrate‐Active enZymes database.

Carbohydrate esterase family 16 contains fungal hemicellulose acetyl esterases (HAEs) with varying specificity.

New Biotechnology, 2022
Acetyl esterases are an important component of the enzymatic machinery fungi use to degrade plant biomass and are classified in several Carbohydrate Esterase families of the CAZy classification system. Carbohydrate Esterase family 16 (CE16) is one of the

Catalytic role of conserved HQGE motif in the CE6 carbohydrate esterase family [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2007
An acetylxylan esterase (R.44), belonging to the carbohydrate esterase family 6 (CE6), retrieved from bovine rumen metagenome was analyzed. Molecular modelling and site‐directed mutagenesis indicated that the enzyme possesses a catalytic triad formed by Ser14, His231 and Glu152.

Elucidating Sequence and Structural Determinants of Carbohydrate Esterases for Complete Deacetylation of Substituted Xylans

Molecules, 2022
Acetylated glucuronoxylan is one of the most common types of hemicellulose in nature. The structure is formed by a β-(1→4)-linked D-xylopyranosyl (Xylp) backbone that can be substituted with an acetyl group at O-2 and O-3 positions, and α-(1→2)-linked 4 ...
