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 ...

The O-specific polysaccharide lyase from the phage LKA1 tailspike reduces Pseudomonas virulence [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractPseudomonas phage LKA1 of the subfamily Autographivirinae encodes a tailspike protein (LKA1gp49) which binds and cleaves B-band LPS (O-specific antigen, OSA) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The crystal structure of LKA1gp49 catalytic domain consists of a beta-helix, an insertion domain and a C-terminal discoidin-like domain.

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.

Characterization of a New Biofunctional, Exolytic Alginate Lyase from Tamlana sp. s12 with High Catalytic Activity and Cold-Adapted Features

Marine Drugs, 2021
Alginate, a major acidic polysaccharide in brown algae, has attracted great attention as a promising carbon source for biorefinery systems. Alginate lyases, especially exo-type alginate lyase, play a critical role in the biorefinery process.

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 ...
