Development and validation of a microarray for the investigation of the CAZymes encoded by the human gut microbiome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Distal gut bacteria play a pivotal role in the digestion of dietary polysaccharides by producing a large number of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) that the host otherwise does not produce.

Identification of d-arabinan-degrading enzymes in mycobacteria
Nature Communications, 2023 Bacterial cell growth and division require the coordinated action of enzymes that synthesize and degrade cell wall polymers. Here, we identify enzymes that cleave the d-arabinan core of arabinogalactan, an unusual component of the cell wall of ...

Structural studies of Glycoside Hydrolases
, 2021 Glycoside hydrolases (E.C 3.2.1.-) are enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of glycosidic bonds in oligosaccharides, complex sugars and various glycoconjugates. In this work structures of B. thetaiotaomicron β-1,4-mannosidase, B.

Structural dissection of a complex Bacteroides ovatus gene locus conferring xyloglucan metabolism in the human gut [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 The human gastrointestinal tract harbours myriad bacterial species, collectively termed the microbiota, that strongly influence human health. Symbiotic members of our microbiota play a pivotal role in the digestion of complex carbohydrates that are ...

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

GH97 is a new family of glycoside hydrolases, which is related to the α-galactosidase superfamily
BMC Genomics, 2005 Background As a rule, about 1% of genes in a given genome encode glycoside hydrolases and their homologues. On the basis of sequence similarity they have been grouped into more than ninety GH families during the last 15 years.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Using PVA–borax hydrogels as carriers for off‐the‐shelf artificial sweeteners to fight multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii. These soft, biocompatible hydrogels rapidly reduce bacterial viability within multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii biofilms by more than 99% within one hour and sustain antimicrobial activity over time, while demonstrating safety in both

Comparison of lipases and glycoside hydrolases as catalysts in synthesis reactions [PDF]
, 2016 Lipases and glycoside hydrolases have large similarities concerning reaction mechanisms. Acyl-enzyme intermediates are formed during lipase-catalyzed reactions and in an analogous way, retaining glycoside hydrolases form glycosyl-enzyme intermediates ...
