Crystal structure of the GalNAc/Gal-specific agglutinin from the phytopathogenic ascomycete Sclerotinia sclerotiorum reveals novel adaptation of a beta-trefoil domain [PDF]

, 2010
International audienceA lectin from the phytopathogenic ascomycete Sclerotinia sclerotiorum that shares only weak sequence similarity with characterized fungal lectins has recently been identified. S.

Understanding Snail Mucus Biosynthesis and Shell Biomineralisation through Genomic Data Mining of the Reconstructed Carbohydrate and Glycan Metabolic Pathways of the Giant African Snail (Achatina fulica)

Biology, 2023
The giant African snail (Order Stylommatophora: Family Achatinidae), Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822), is the most significant and invasive land snail pest.

A combined computational-experimental approach to define the structural origin of antibody recognition of sialyl-Tn, a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen. [PDF]

, 2018
Anti-carbohydrate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) hold great promise as cancer therapeutics and diagnostics. However, their specificity can be mixed, and detailed characterization is problematic, because antibody-glycan complexes are challenging to ...

Galectins: a key intersection between glycobiology and immunology

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
Galectins are a family of evolutionarily conserved animal lectins, widely distributed from lower invertebrates to mammals. They share sequence and structure similarities in the carbohydrate recognition domain and specificity for polylactosamine-enriched ...

Novel archaeal thermostable cellulases from an oil reservoir metagenome

AMB Express, 2017
Microbial assemblages were sampled from an offshore deep sub-surface petroleum reservoir 2.5 km below the ocean floor off the coast of Norway, providing conditions of high temperature and pressure, to identify new thermostable enzymes.

Discovery of glycoside hydrolase enzymes in an avicel-adapted forest soil fungal community by a metatranscriptomic approach. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
To discover the structural and functional novel glycoside hydrolase enzymes from soil fungal communities that decompose cellulosic biomass, transcripts of functional genes in a forest soil were analyzed.

Structure- and context-based analysis of the GxGYxYP family reveals a new putative class of glycoside hydrolase. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundGut microbiome metagenomics has revealed many protein families and domains found largely or exclusively in that environment. Proteins containing the GxGYxYP domain are over-represented in the gut microbiota, and are found in Polysaccharide ...

β-Glucan is a major growth substrate for human gut bacteria related to Coprococcus eutactus [PDF]

, 2020
A clone encoding carboxymethyl cellulase activity was isolated during functional screening of a human gut metagenomic library using Lactococcus lactis MG1363 as heterologous host.

Identification of carbohydrate active enzymes from whole genome sequence of Tilletia indica and sporulation analysis

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Karnal bunt of wheat is an internationally quarantined disease. One of the major constraints in exporting wheat is prevalence of Karnal bunt (KB). It is caused by Tilletia indica which is a heterothallic fungus and requires fusion of different mating ...

SACCHARIS: an automated pipeline to streamline discovery of carbohydrate active enzyme activities within polyspecific families and de novo sequence datasets

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Deposition of new genetic sequences in online databases is expanding at an unprecedented rate. As a result, sequence identification continues to outpace functional characterization of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes).
