Structural and mechanistic classification of uronic acid-containing polysaccharide lyases [PDF]

open access: yesGlycobiology, 2010
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Biochemical characteristics and molecular mechanism of an exo-type alginate lyase VxAly7D and its use for the preparation of unsaturated monosaccharides

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background As the most abundant polysaccharide in brown algae, alginate has become a promising economical material for bioethanol production. Recently, exo-type alginate lyases have received extensive attention because the unsaturated monosaccharides ...

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

open access: yes, 2016
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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,

Cloning and Characterization of Pectate Lyases Expressed in the Esophageal Gland of the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
Two pectate lyase genes (Bx-pel-1 and Bx-pel-2) were cloned from the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xy-lophilus. The deduced amino acid sequences of these pectate lyases are most similar to polysaccharide lyase family 3 proteins.

Biochemical Characterization and Elucidation of Action Pattern of a Novel Polysaccharide Lyase 6 Family Alginate Lyase from Marine Bacterium Flammeovirga sp. NJ-04

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2019
Alginate lyases have been widely used to prepare alginate oligosaccharides in food, agricultural, and medical industries. Therefore, discovering and characterizing novel alginate lyases with excellent properties has drawn increasing attention.

Engineering broad-spectrum digestion of polyuronides from an exolytic polysaccharide lyase [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2016
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]

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2019
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).
