Plant Defensive β-Glucosidases Resist Digestion and Sustain Activity in the Gut of a Lepidopteran Herbivore

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Two-component activated chemical defenses are a major part of many plants’ strategies to disrupt herbivory. The activation step is often the β-glucosidase-catalyzed removal of a glucose moiety from a pro-toxin, leading to an unstable and toxic aglycone ...

Isolation and Identification of β-Glucosidases-Producing Non-Saccharomyces Yeast Strains and Its Influence on the Aroma of Fermented Mango Juice

Molecules, 2023
The cultivation and enrichment of different soils in a vineyard yielded 95 yeast species. Among them, seven strains capable of producing β-glucosidases were identified using the aescin colorimetric method.

Molecular characterization and heterologous expression of two α-glucosidases from Metschnikowia spp, both producers of honey sugars

Microbial Cell Factories, 2020
Background α-Glucosidases are widely distributed enzymes with a varied substrate specificity that are traditionally used in biotechnological industries based on oligo- and polysaccharides as starting materials.

Mammalian mucosal α-glucosidases coordinate with α-amylase in the initial starch hydrolysis stage to have a role in starch digestion beyond glucogenesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Starch digestion in the human body is typically viewed in a sequential manner beginning with α-amylase and followed by α-glucosidase to produce glucose.

Phylogenomic relationships between amylolytic enzymes from 85 strains of fungi.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Fungal amylolytic enzymes, including α-amylase, gluocoamylase and α-glucosidase, have been extensively exploited in diverse industrial applications such as high fructose syrup production, paper making, food processing and ethanol production.

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 ...

Fungal Beta-Glucosidases: A Bottleneck in Industrial Use of Lignocellulosic Materials

Biomolecules, 2013
Profitable biomass conversion processes are highly dependent on the use of efficient enzymes for lignocellulose degradation. Among the cellulose degrading enzymes, beta-glucosidases are essential for efficient hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass as they ...
