Substrate-Assisted Catalysis Unifies Two Families of Chitinolytic Enzymes [PDF]

, 1997
Hen egg-white lysozyme has long been the paradigm for enzymatic glycosyl hydrolysis with retention of configuration, with a protonated carboxylic acid and a deprotonated carboxylate participating in general acid-base catalysis.

Bioinformatic characterisation of genes encoding cell wall degrading enzymes in the Phytophthora parasitica genome [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: A critical aspect of plant infection by the majority of pathogens is penetration of the plant cell wall. This process requires the production and secretion of a broad spectrum of pathogen enzymes that target and degrade the many complex ...

A new chitinase-like xylanase inhibitor protein (XIP) from coffee (Coffea arabica) affects Soybean Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) spore germination

BMC Biotechnology, 2011
Background Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) is a common disease in Brazilian soybean fields and it is difficult to control. To identify a biochemical candidate with potential to combat this disease, a new chitinase-like xylanase inhibitor protein (XIP)

Amylases and Their Importance during Glycan Degradation: Genome Sequence Release of Salmonella Amylase Knockout Strains. [PDF]

, 2017
Amylases catalyze the cleavage of α-d-1,4 and α-d-1,6-glycosidic bonds in starch and related carbohydrates. Amylases are widely distributed in nature and are important in carbohydrate metabolism.

Variation in the Number of Genes in the Secretomes of Isolates of Ilyonectria robusta and Ilyonectria mors-panacis Pathogenic to American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

Horticulturae
For 12 isolates of Ilyonectria mors-panacis and 4 isolates of Ilyonectria robusta, the number of genes in the secretome showed a negative correlation with growth rates in culture, especially for small secreted non-cysteine-rich and cysteine-rich proteins,

Characterisation of novel biomass degradation enzymes from the genome of Cellulomonas fimi [PDF]

, 2018
Recent analyses of genome sequences belonging to cellulolytic bacteria have revealed many genes potentially coding for cellulosic biomass degradation enzymes. Annotation of these genes however, is based on few biochemically characterised examples.
