Sequence-Based and Functional Analysis for the Discovery of N-Glycan Degrading Glycosidases From the Microbial Metagenome of the Infant Gut. [PDF]
This research offers valuable understanding of how N‐glycans are broken down by the gut microbiota of infants, focusing on glycoside hydrolase families GH2, GH20, and GH18. It reveals that the gut microbiota of breastfed infants has a diverse array of genes coding for these enzymes.

Pseudouridine Monophosphate Glycosidase: A New Glycosidase Mechanism [PDF]
Pseudouridine (Ψ), the most abundant modification in RNA, is synthesized in situ using Ψ synthase. Recently, a pathway for the degradation of Ψ was described [Preumont, A., Snoussi, K., Stroobant, V., Collet, J. F., and Van Schaftingen, E. (2008) J. Biol. Chem. 283, 25238-25246].

Extensive evolution of cereal ribosome-inactivating proteins translates into unique structural features, activation mechanisms, and physiological roles [PDF]
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of cytotoxic enzymes that can depurinate rRNAs thereby inhibiting protein translation. Although these proteins have also been detected in bacteria, fungi, and even some insects, they are especially ...

Increase of intestinal bacterial sialidase activity exacerbates acute colitis in mice
The availability of endogenous and dietary carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal tract influences the composition of the gut microbiota. Carbohydrate foraging requires the action of bacterially-encoded glycoside hydrolases, which release mono- and ...

p53 directly regulates the glycosidase FUCA1 to promote chemotherapy-induced cell death [PDF]
p53 is a central factor in tumor suppression as exemplified by its frequent loss in human cancer. p53 exerts its tumor suppressive effects in multiple ways, but the ability to invoke the eradication of damaged cells by programmed cell death is considered

α-Glucosidase and β-glucosidase from psychrotrophic strain arthrobacter sp. C2-2
In this work six psychophilic and psychrotrophic bacterial strains were screened for the presence of different glycosidase activities (α-galactosidase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, α-mannosidase and β-glucuronidase).

A new subfamily of fungal subtilases: structural and functional analysis of a Pleurotus ostreatus member [PDF]
Pleurotus ostreatus produces several extracellular proteases which are believed to be involved in the regulation of the ligninolytic activities of this fungus. Recently, purification and characterization of the most abundant P.
