From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Crystal structure of the glycoside hydrolase PssZ from Listeria monocytogenes

, 2019
Biofilms are microbial communities that are embedded in the extracellular matrix. The exopolysaccharide (EPS) is a key component of the biofilm matrix that maintains the structure of the biofilm and protects the bacteria from antimicrobials.

Comprehensive analysis of Brassica napus Glycosyl hydrolase family 1 genes and functional analysis of BnaBGLU27.C08 in clubroot resistance

BMC Genomics
Background β-Glycosidases (BGLUs), belonging to the Glycoside Hydrolase Family 1 (GH1), play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress adaptation. While BGLUs have been extensively characterized in various plants, a comprehensive analysis of

Genome-Wide Identification of the Glycosyl Hydrolase Family 1 Genes in Brassica napus L. and Functional Characterization of BnBGLU77

Plants
The β-glucosidases (BGLUs) of Glycoside Hydrolase Family 1 (GH1) exhibit essential functions in plant secondary metabolism and stress responses, mediated by their dual catalytic capabilities in hydrolysis and transglycosylation. This study identified 149

1,2-β-Oligoglucan phosphorylase from Listeria innocua.

PLoS ONE, 2014
We characterized recombinant Lin1839 protein (Lin1839r) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 94 from Listeria innocua. Lin1839r catalyzed the synthesis of a series of 1,2-β-oligoglucans (Sopn: n denotes degree of polymerization) using sophorose (Sop2)

A remote but significant sequence homology between glycoside hydrolase clan GH-H and glycoside hydrolase family GH 31 [PDF]

, 2007
Although both the α-amylase super-family, i.e. the glycoside hydrolase (GH) clan GH-H (the GH families 13, 70 and 77), and family GH31 share some characteristics, their different catalytic machinery prevents classification of GH31 in clan GH-H.

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Exploring roles of the chitinase ChiC in modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence phenotypes

Microbiology Spectrum
Chitinases are ubiquitous enzymes involved in biomass degradation and chitin turnover in nature. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), an opportunistic human pathogen, expresses ChiC, a secreted glycoside hydrolase 18 family chitinase.

First glycoside hydrolase family 2 enzymes from Thermus antranikianii and Thermus brockianus with β-glucosidase activity [PDF]

, 2015
Two genes tagh2 and tbgh2 coding for enzymes with hydrolytic activity towards esculin were identified from the extreme thermophilic, aerobic bacteria Thermus antranikianii (Ta) and T. brockianus (Tb). Shortened conserved domains predicted a membership of

Transcript correlation analysis for the identification of novel plant genes involved in iron metabolism and beyond: what next?

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.
