Structure and Polymannuronate Specificity of a Eukaryotic Member of Polysaccharide Lyase Family 14 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017 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 ...

Application of marine bacterial alginate lyases in wastewater treatment, biofilm removal and green technology [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and ManagementAlginate lyases are a class of enzymes capable of cleaving alginate, a major structural polysaccharide present in the cell walls of brown algae. In recent years, marine bacteria have emerged as a valuable and diverse source of these enzymes, owing to ...

Variations in Cell Wall-Modifying Enzyme Activities and Physicochemical Properties of Pectin in Kiwifruit during Postharvest Softening [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 In this study, we monitored changes in fruit hardness, cell wall-modifying enzyme activities such as polygalacturonase (PG), pectin methylesterase (PME), pectin lyases (PL) and β-galactosidase (β-Gal), and physiochemical properties of three cell wall ...

Probing the Dependence of pH on Sugar Binding and Protein Structure in a Polysaccharide Lyase [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Polysaccharide lyases (PLs) are enzymes that our commonly used by microorganisms to degrade polyuronides. These enzymes are produced by bacteria to aid in reducing the high molecular weight of the host's extracellular matrix to enhance its virulence. PLs can also be used to degrade polysaccharides as a source of carbon for the pathogen. Our focus is on

Development and validation of a microarray for the investigation of the CAZymes encoded by the human gut microbiome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Distal gut bacteria play a pivotal role in the digestion of dietary polysaccharides by producing a large number of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) that the host otherwise does not produce.
