Exploration and Characterization of Novel Glycoside Hydrolases from the Whole Genome of Lactobacillus ginsenosidimutans and Enriched Production of Minor Ginsenoside Rg3(S) by a Recombinant Enzymatic Process

Biomolecules, 2020
Background: Several studies have reported that ginsenoside Rg3(S) is effective in treating metastatic diseases, obesity, and various cancers, however, its presence in white ginseng cannot be estimated, and only a limited amount is present in red ginseng.

Glycoside Hydrolases across Environmental Microbial Communities

PLOS Computational Biology, 2016
Across many environments microbial glycoside hydrolases support the enzymatic processing of carbohydrates, a critical function in many ecosystems. Little is known about how the microbial composition of a community and the potential for carbohydrate processing relate to each other.

Modular Molecular Design and Self‐Assembled Nanostructures of Saccharide‑Appended Cyclic Dipeptides for Glycosidase‑Responsive Supramolecular Hydrogels

Small, EarlyView.
Saccharide‐appended cyclic dipeptides are designed and developed as building blocks for glycosidase‐responsive supramolecular hydrogels. Their aqueous self‐assembly enables β‐galactosidase‐triggered gel‐to‐sol and neuraminidase‐triggered sol‐to‐gel transition systems, highlighting their potential as glycosidase‐responsive soft materials for biomedical ...

PgaB orthologues contain a glycoside hydrolase domain that cleaves deacetylated poly-β(1,6)-N-acetylglucosamine and can disrupt bacterial biofilms

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Poly-β(1,6)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (PNAG) is a major biofilm component of many pathogenic bacteria. The production, modification, and export of PNAG in Escherichia coli and Bordetella species require the protein products encoded by the pgaABCD operon ...

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum

Insect Science, EarlyView.
RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

A new group of glycoside hydrolase family 13 α-amylases with an aberrant catalytic triad

Scientific Reports, 2017
α-Amylases are glycoside hydrolase enzymes that act on the α(1→4) glycosidic linkages in glycogen, starch, and related α-glucans, and are ubiquitously present in Nature. Most α-amylases have been classified in glycoside hydrolase family 13 with a typical
