Radiation and Functional Specialization of the Family-3 Glycoside Hydrolases

open access: yesMicrobial Physiology, 2003
A phylogenetic analysis of the glycoside hydrolases of family 3 (GH3s) was conducted in order to infer particular trends in its evolution: functional specialization, gene transfer events, gene duplications and paralogous evolution, and gene deletions. The phylogenetic analysis of GH3s revealed six clusters, i.e., A, B, C, D, E, and F that could fit the

OsPRK1/2/3‐mediated reactive oxygen species signaling is required for pollen tube germination in rice

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice pollen‐specific receptor‐like kinases OsPRK1, OsPRK2, and OsPRK3 play a crucial role in reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐mediated pollen hydration and germination. Triple mutants display male sterility due to decreased ROS levels and impaired pollen hydration, and their germination phenotype can be partially restored by exogenous application of ...

Intricate Knots in Proteins: Function and Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesP. Virnau, L. A. Mirny, M. Kardar, PLoS Comp Biol 2, 1074-1079 (2006), 2007
A number of recently discovered protein structures incorporate a rather unexpected structural feature: a knot in the polypeptide backbone. These knots are extremely rare, but their occurrence is likely connected to protein function in as yet unexplored fashion.

Structure and functional studies of plant cell wall degrading enzymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Presently, plant biomass is considered as one of the major future renewable sources for the production of second-generation biofuels. While the first generation biofuels essentially are based on starch and sucrose rich feed stocks and which production ...

Structural Snapshots for Mechanism‐Based Inactivation of a Glycoside Hydrolase by Cyclopropyl Carbasugars

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, 2016
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) have attracted considerable attention as targets for therapeutic agents, and thus mechanism‐based inhibitors are of great interest.

Change Your Diet: How CO2, Plant Phenology and Genotype Alter Grapevine Quality and Affect Performance and Larval Transcriptome of an Insect Herbivore

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects need to cope with changing host plant biochemistry caused by abiotic and biotic impacts, to meet their dietary requirements. Larvae of the multivoltine European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana, one of the main insect pests in viticulture, feed on both flowers and berries.

Comparative Community Proteomics Demonstrates the Unexpected Importance of Actinobacterial Glycoside Hydrolase Family 12 Protein for Crystalline Cellulose Hydrolysis

open access: yesmBio, 2016
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are key enzymes in the depolymerization of plant-derived cellulose, a process central to the global carbon cycle and the conversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals.

High Quality Diet Enhances Immune Response and Affects Gene Expression During Viral Infection in an Insect Herbivore

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects tolerate chemical and metabolic variation in their host plant diet by modulating physiological traits. Insect immune response is one such trait that plays a crucial role in maintaining fitness but can be heavily influenced by variation in host plant quality.
