Structural diversity of carbohydrate esterases
Biotechnology Research and Innovation, 2017 Carbohydrate esterases (CEs) catalyze the de-O or de-N-acylation by removing the ester decorations from carbohydrates. CEs are currently classified in 15 families in the Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme (CAZy) database, which classifies a large variety of enzymes that assemble, modify and breakdown carbohydrates and glycoconjugates.

Novel Family of Carbohydrate Esterases, Based on Identification of the Hypocrea jecorina Acetyl Esterase Gene [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT Plant cell walls have been shown to contain acetyl groups in hemicelluloses and pectin. The gene aes1 , encoding the acetyl esterase (Aes1) of Hypocrea jecorina , was identified by amino-terminal sequencing, peptide mass spectrometry, and genomic sequence analyses.

A novel acetyl xylan esterase enabling complete deacetylation of substituted xylans
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018 Background Acetylated 4-O-(methyl)glucuronoxylan (GX) is the main hemicellulose in deciduous hardwood, and comprises a β-(1→4)-linked xylopyranosyl (Xylp) backbone substituted by both acetyl groups and α-(1→2)-linked 4-O-methylglucopyranosyluronic acid ...
