Identification of putative rhamnogalacturonan-II specific glycosyltransferases in Arabidopsis using a combination of bioinformatics approaches.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Rhamnogalacturonan-II (RG-II) is a complex plant cell wall polysaccharide that is composed of an α(1,4)-linked homogalacturonan backbone substituted with four side chains. It exists in the cell wall in the form of a dimer that is cross-linked by a borate

Comparative Transcriptomics of CAZy Enzymes in White- and Brown-Rot Agaricomycetes: Evolutionary Insights into Lignocellulose Degradation and the Relevance of GH16 Glycoside Hydrolase Functional Divergence.

New Biotechnology
White-rot and brown-rot fungi (WRF and BRF, respectively) decompose lignocellulose, the main structural component of plant biomass, through distinct mechanisms.

CAZy gene expression.

, 2012
The sampling conditions are shown for the RNA-seq study. Cells were grown in glucose (48 h), washed and transferred to straw (24 h) and then glucose was added (downward arrow) followed by a further 5 h incubation. (A) Percentage of total mRNA (calculated

Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...

Schematic model of CAZy and co-regulated genes.

, 2015
CAZy genes are indicated with color-filled arrows. Co-regulated non-CAZy genes are indicated by white arrows with contours of the same color as those of CAZy genes with similar profiles. Similar colors indicate a similar expression profile.

Expanding the knowledge on lignocellulolytic and redox enzymes of worker and soldier castes from the lower termite Coptotermes gestroi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Termites are considered one of the most efficient decomposers of lignocelluloses on Earth due to their ability to produce, along with its microbial symbionts, a repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes).

Analysis of Two New Arabinosyltransferases Belonging to the Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme (CAZY) Glycosyl Transferase Family1 Provides Insights into Disease Resistance and Sugar Donor Specificity[OPEN]

The Plant Cell, 2018
Analysis of plant natural product arabinosyltransferases identifies determinants of sugar donor specificity and suggests convergent evolution in monocots and eudicots.

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

Metatranscriptomic holobiont analysis of carbohydrate-active enzymes in the millipede Telodeinopus aoutii (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
As important decomposers of soil organic matter, millipedes contribute to lignocellulose decomposition and nutrient cycling. The degradation of lignocellulose requires the action of several carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and, in most invertebrates,
