Structural and mechanistic classification of uronic acid-containing polysaccharide lyases [PDF]
Polysaccharide lyases (PLs) have been assigned to 21 families based on their sequences, with ~ 50 singletons awaiting further classification. For 19 of these families, the structure of at least one protein is known. In this review, we have analyzed the available structural information and show that presently known PL families belong to six general ...

Draft Genome Sequence of Botrytis cinerea BcDW1, Inoculum for Noble Rot of Grape Berries. [PDF]
Botrytized wines are produced from grape berries infected by Botrytis cinerea under specific environmental conditions. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. cinerea BcDW1, a strain isolated from Sémillon grapes in Napa Valley in 1992 that ...

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

Carbohydrate-active enzymes from pigmented Bacilli: a genomic approach to assess carbohydrate utilization and degradation [PDF]
Background Spore-forming Bacilli are Gram-positive bacteria commonly found in a variety of natural habitats, including soil, water and the gastro-intestinal (GI)-tract of animals. Isolates of various Bacillus species produce pigments, mostly carotenoids,

Engineering broad-spectrum digestion of polyuronides from an exolytic polysaccharide lyase [PDF]
Macroalgae represents a promising source of fermentable carbohydrates for use in the production of energy efficient biofuel. The primary carbohydrate in brown algae is the uronic acid-containing alginate, whereas green algae contains a significant amount of glucuronan.

Probing the pH Effects on Sugar Binding to a Polysaccharide Lyase [PDF]
Polysaccharide lyases (PLs) are an important class of proteins that are excreted from bacteria to degrade sugars in the extracellular matrix of the host. The PL from S. maltophilia (Smlt1473) was found to have pH-specific degradation of three varying polysaccharides: alginate, celluronic acid, and hyaluronic acid (J. Biol. Chem. 2014, 289, 18022-18032).
