Constructing an Efficient Bacillus subtilis Spore Display by Using Cohesin−Dockerin Interactions [PDF]
Bacillus subtilis spore display has become a field of increasing interest in the past two decades. To improve the efficiency of B. subtilis spore display, its directed modification was performed based on the cellulosome architecture by introducing onto ...

Evidence for a dual binding mode of dockerin modules to cohesins [PDF]
The assembly of proteins that display complementary activities into macromolecular complexes is critical to cellular function. One such enzyme complex, of environmental significance, is the plant cell wall degrading apparatus of anaerobic bacteria, termed the cellulosome.

The cohesive cellulosome complex is sustained by the high‐affinity cohesin–dockerin interaction. In previous work [J. Biol. Chem. 276 (2001) 9883], we demonstrated that a single Thr‐to‐Leu replacement in the Clostridium thermocellum dockerin component differentiates between non‐recognition and high‐affinity recognition by the interspecies rival cohesin

Assembly of Ruminococcus flavefaciens cellulosome revealed by structures of two cohesin-dockerin complexes [PDF]
Abtract Cellulosomes are sophisticated multi-enzymatic nanomachines produced by anaerobes to effectively deconstruct plant structural carbohydrates.

Cellulosomal cellulases possess an extra noncatalytic module denominated dockerin, which interacts with the scaffolding via cohesion modules to organize the enzymes within the cellulosome. Given the lack of previously solved experimental atomic structures for modular anaerobic fungal cellulases containing dockerin modules, here we employed structural ...

Analysis of cohesin-dockerin interactions using mutant dockerin proteins [PDF]
Clostridial cellulosomes are cellulolytic complexes that are formed by highly specific interactions between one of the repeated cohesin modules present in the scaffolding protein and a dockerin module of the catalytic components. Although Clostridium thermocellum Xyn11A dockerin has a typical C.

Cohesin-Dockerin Interaction in Cellulosome Assembly [PDF]
The assembly of enzyme components into the cellulosome complex is dictated by the cohesin-dockerin interaction. In a recent article (Mechaly, A., Yaron, S., Lamed, R., Fierobe, H.-P., Belaich, A., Belaich, J.-P., Shoham, Y., and Bayer, E. A. (2000) Proteins 39, 170-177), we provided experimental evidence that four previously predicted dockerin residues

Introduction: β-Alanine is the only β-amino acid in nature; it is widely used in food additives, medicines, health products, and surfactants. To avoid pollution caused by traditional production methods, the synthesis of β-alanine has been gradually ...

Dual binding in cohesin-dockerin complexes: the energy landscape and the role of short, terminal segments of the dockerin module [PDF]
AbstractThe assembly of the polysaccharide degradating cellulosome machinery is mediated by tight binding between cohesin and dockerin domains. We have used an empirical model known as FoldX as well as molecular mechanics methods to determine the free energy of binding between a cohesin and a dockerin from Clostridium thermocellum in two possible modes

Affinity-induced covalent protein-protein ligation via the SpyCatcher-SpyTag interaction
Production of economically viable bioethanol is potentially an environmentally and financially worthwhile endeavor. One major source for fermentable sugars is lignocellulose. However, lignocellulosic biomass is difficult to degrade, owing to its inherent
