Dissecting Cellular Function and Distribution of β-Glucosidases in Trichoderma reesei
mBio, 2021 Although β-glucosidases play an important role in fungal cellulase induction and production, our current understanding does not provide a global perspective on β-glucosidase function.

Glutantβase: a database for improving the rational design of glucose-tolerant β-glucosidases
BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020 Β-glucosidases are key enzymes used in second-generation biofuel production. They act in the last step of the lignocellulose saccharification, converting cellobiose in glucose.

Sets of covariant residues modulate the activity and thermal stability of GH1 β-glucosidases.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The statistical coupling analysis of 768 β-glucosidases from the GH1 family revealed 23 positions in which the amino acid frequencies are coupled. The roles of these covariant positions in terms of the properties of β-glucosidases were investigated by ...

Systematic studies of the interactions between a model polyphenol compound and microbial β-glucosidases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Lignin is a major obstacle for cost-effective conversion of cellulose into fermentable sugars. Non-productive adsorption onto insoluble lignin fragments and interactions with soluble phenols are important inhibition mechanisms of cellulases, including β ...

Structural Analysis of Free N-Glycans in α-Glucosidase Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Lack of the Evidence for the Occurrence of Catabolic α-Glucosidase Acting on the N-Glycans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces two different α-glucosidases, Glucosidase 1 (Gls1) and Glucosidase 2 (Gls2), which are responsible for the removal of the glucose molecules from N-glycans (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2) of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum ...

The multiple strategies of an insect herbivore to overcome plant cyanogenic glucoside defence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cyanogenic glucosides (CNglcs) are widespread plant defence compounds that release toxic hydrogen cyanide by plant β-glucosidase activity after tissue damage.
