Structural Basis of Specific Glucoimidazole and Mannoimidazole Binding by Os3BGlu7

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
β-Glucosidases and β-mannosidases hydrolyze substrates that differ only in the epimer of the nonreducing terminal sugar moiety, but most such enzymes show a strong preference for one activity or the other.

Theory and computation show that Asp463 is the catalytic proton donor in human endoplasmic reticulum α-(1→2)-mannosidase I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
It has been difficult to identify the proton donor and nucleophilic assistant/base of endoplasmic reticulum α-(1→2)-mannosidase I, a member of glycoside hydrolase Family 47, which cleaves the glycosidic bond between two α-(1→2)-linked mannosyl residues ...

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesInsect 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.

Purification and properties of arylmannosidases from mung bean seedlings and soybean cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Two arylmannosidases (signified as A and B) were purified to homogeneity from soluble and microsomal fractions of mung bean seedlings. Arylmannosidase A from the microsomes appeared the same on native gels and on SDS gels as soluble arylmannosidase A ...

Glycosylation pattern of brush border-associated glycoproteins in enterocyte-like cells: involvement of complex-type N-glycans in apical trafficking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We have previously reported that galectin-4, a tandem repeat-type galectin, regulates the raft-dependent delivery of glycoproteins to the apical brush border membrane of enterocyte-like HT-29 cells.

The Diagnostic Odyssey of a Biochemically Confirmed Case of ML II: The First Western Patient With LYSET Deficiency

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We identify a female patient with a homozygous nonsense variant (p.Gln38Ter) in the LYSET gene. This is the first western report of a challenging case of an extensive diagnostic odyssey and demonstrates that the LYSET gene must be considered in the differential diagnosis when M6P‐labeled lysosomal enzymes are altered.

A spectrophotometric assay for α-mannosidase activity [PDF]

open access: yesGlycobiology, 1996
A simple and versatile spectrophotometric assay for alpha-mannosidase activity, which can be used with unlabelled natural substrate or synthetic substrates, was developed. The reducing mannose released from the substrate by the enzyme is quantitated using glucose oxidase, peroxidase and o-dianisidine.

Tyrosinase degradation is prevented when EDEM1 lacks the intrinsically disordered region.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
EDEM1 is a mannosidase-like protein that recruits misfolded glycoproteins from the calnexin/calreticulin folding cycle to downstream endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD) pathway.

Cryo‐EM structure of GH43 β‐Xylosidase from Enterobacter cloacae provides insights into substrate specificity and the role of an auxiliary domain in enzymatic activity

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Xylan, the second most abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, is degraded by β‐xylanases and β‐xylosidases. Here, we present the 2.65 Å cryo‐EM structure of Enterobacter cloacae β‐xylosidase (EcXyl43, GH43) and the 2.4 Å X‐ray structure of its inactive F507A mutant.

Cultivation-independent and cultivation-dependent metagenomes reveal genetic and enzymatic potential of microbial community involved in the degradation of a complex microbial polymer

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2020
Background Cultivation-independent methods, including metagenomics, are tools for the exploration and discovery of biotechnological compounds produced by microbes in natural environments.
