Predicting Selective RNA Processing and Stabilization Operons in Clostridium spp.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 In selective RNA processing and stabilization (SRPS) operons, stem–loops (SLs) located at the 3′-UTR region of selected genes can control the stability of the corresponding transcripts and determine the stoichiometry of the operon. Here, for such operons,

Cellulosomal expansin: functionality and incorporation into the complex [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2016 Expansins are relatively small proteins that lack enzymatic activity and are found in plants and microorganisms. The function of these proteins is to disrupt the plant cell walls by interfering with the non-covalent interchain bonding of the polysaccharides.

Mapping the Deformability of Natural and Designed Cellulosomes in solution [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2021 Abstract Background : Natural cellulosome multi-enzyme complexes, their components, and engineered ‘designer cellulosomes’ (DCs) promise an efficient means of breaking down cellulosic substrates into valuable biofuel products. Their broad uptake in biotechnology relies on boosting proximity-based synergy among the resident enzymes but the ...

Current challenges in designer cellulosome engineering
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2023 Designer cellulosomes (DCs) are engineered multi-enzyme complexes, comprising carbohydrate-active enzymes attached to a common backbone, the scaffoldin, via high-affinity cohesin-dockerin interactions. The use of DCs in the degradation of renewable biomass polymers is a promising approach for biorefineries. Indeed, DCs have shown significant hydrolytic

Cellulosome components of C. thermocellum.
, 2014 Enzymatic components (colored differently to indicate enzyme variety) produced by anaerobic bacteria contain a dockerin domain. Dockerins bind the cohesins of a non-catalytic scaffoldin, providing a mechanism for cellulosome assembly.
