Phylogenetic Distribution of Polysaccharide-Degrading Enzymes in Marine Bacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Deconstruction is an essential step of conversion of polysaccharides, and polysaccharide-degrading enzymes play a key role in this process. Although there is recent progress in the identification of these enzymes, the diversity and phylogenetic ...

Genome-Wide Analysis of PL7 Alginate Lyases in the Genus Zobellia
Molecules, 2021 We carried out a detailed investigation of PL7 alginate lyases across the Zobellia genus. The main findings were obtained using the methods of comparative genomics and spatial structure modeling, as well as a phylogenomic approach. Initially, in order to

vAL‐1, a novel polysaccharide lyase encoded by chlorovirus CVK2 [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2004 Cell wall materials isolated from Chlorella cells were degraded by the polysaccharide‐degrading enzyme vAL‐1 encoded by chlorovirus CVK2. Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometric analyses of the degradation products (oligosaccharides) revealed major oligosaccharides contain unsaturated GlcA at the reducing terminus,

Structure and Polymannuronate Specificity of a Eukaryotic Member of Polysaccharide Lyase Family 14 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 Alginate is an abundant algal polysaccharide, composed of β-d-mannuronate and its C5 epimer α-l-guluronate, that is a useful biomaterial in cell biology and tissue engineering, with applications in cancer and aging research. The alginate lyase (EC 4.2.2.3) from Aplysia kurodai, AkAly30, is a eukaryotic member of the polysaccharide lyase 14 (PL-14 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesAcidic glycans are essential for the biology of multicellular eukaryotes. To utilize them, microbial life including symbionts and pathogens has evolved polysaccharide lyases (PL) that cleave their 1,4 glycosidic linkages via a β-elimination mechanism. PL family 33 (PL33) enzymes have the unusual ability to target a diverse range of glycosaminoglycans ...

Molecular 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.
