A hierarchical classification of polysaccharide lyases for glycogenomics [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2010
Carbohydrate-active enzymes face huge substrate diversity in a highly selective manner using only a limited number of available folds. They are therefore subjected to multiple divergent and convergent evolutionary events. This and their frequent modularity render their functional annotation in genomes difficult in a number of cases.

Polysaccharide Lyases: Recent Developments as Biotechnological Tools

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2003
Polysaccharide lyases, which are polysaccharide cleavage enzymes, act mainly on anionic polysaccharides. Produced by prokaryote and eukaryote organisms, these enzymes degrade (1,4) glycosidic bond by a beta elimination mechanism and have unsaturated oligosaccharides as major products.

Polysaccharide lyases from gellan-producing Sphingomonas spp. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology (United Kingdom), 1996
A number ofSphingomonasstrains capable of synthesizing the bacterial exopolysaccharide gellan and related polymers were shown to possess constitutive gellanase activity. In each case, the degradation of deacylated gellan was due to extracellular, eliminase-type enzymes (lyases) which cleave the sequence …ß-D-glucosyl 1,4-ß-D-glucuronosyl… in the ...

Action pattern of polysaccharide lyases on glycosaminoglycans

Glycobiology, 1994
The action pattern of polysaccharide lyases on glycosaminoglycan substrates was examined using viscosimetric measurements and gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Heparin lyase I (heparinase, EC 4.2.2.7) and heparin lyase II (no EC number) both acted on heparin in a random endolytic fashion.

A new family of β-helix proteins with similarities to the polysaccharide lyases

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D: Biological Crystallography, 2014
Microorganisms that degrade biomass produce diverse assortments of carbohydrate-active enzymes and binding modules. Despite tremendous advances in the genomic sequencing of these organisms, many genes do not have an ascribed function owing to low sequence identity to genes that have been annotated.

Analysis of Glycosaminoglycans with Polysaccharide Lyases

Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, 1999
Polysaccharide lyases are a class of enzymes useful for analysis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the glycosaminoglycan component of proteoglycans (PGs). These enzymes cleave specific glycosidic linkages present in acidic polysaccharides and result in depolymerization.

Characterization of an organic solvent-tolerant polysaccharide lyase from Microbulbifer thermotolerans DAU221

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021
Alginate and its derivatives are annually produced approximately 30,000 tons or more and are applied to various industries as they are natural polymers. The global market for alginate and its derivatives has been growing steadily. There is little research compared to other enzymes produced through biomass degradation or modification. An alginate lyase,

The synthesis of a novel thio-linked disaccharide of chondroitin as a potential inhibitor of polysaccharide lyases

Carbohydrate Research, 2004
A thio-linked disaccharide based on the structure of the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin was synthesized as a potential inhibitor of chondroitin AC lyase from Flavobacterium heparinum for structural analysis of the active site. Instead it was found to be a slow substrate, thereby demonstrating that lyases, in contrast to glycosidases, can cleave ...
