Biochemical Properties of a New Polysaccharide Lyase Family 25 Ulvan Lyase TsUly25B from Marine Bacterium Thalassomonas sp. LD5

Marine Drugs, 2022
Marine macroalgae, contributing much to the bioeconomy, have inspired tremendous attention as sustainable raw materials. Ulvan, as one of the main structural components of green algae cell walls, can be degraded by ulvan lyase through the β-elimination ...

Isolation and Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles From Ascochyta rabiei, a Necrotrophic Fungal Chickpea Pathogen

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles produced by pathogenic organisms play a role in host recognition and invasion across kingdoms, including fungi interacting with their plant hosts. Little is known about EVs from phytopathogenic fungi compared to human fungal pathogens.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

The physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and signaling in the central nervous system

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and

Polysaccharide biosynthetic pathway profiling and putative gene mining of Dendrobium moniliforme using RNA-Seq in different tissues

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Dendrobium moniliforme (Linnaeus) Swartz is a well-known plant used in traditional Chinese medicine due to bioactive constituents. Polysaccharides are the main medicinal ingredients, yet no studies have been published on polysaccharide ...

Sustainable bioceramics, biopolymers, and composites for bone applications: From bench to production

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to environmental challenges and primary resource scarcity, sustainable approaches that rely on recycling and reusing waste materials are becoming highly valuable and appealing options in modern society. These strategies have started being applied in biomaterials science, too, leading to the advent of new synergies between ...

Rhamnogalacturonan lyase reveals a unique three‐domain modular structure for polysaccharide lyase family 4 [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2004
Rhamnogalacturonan lyase (RG‐lyase) specifically recognizes and cleaves α‐1,4 glycosidic bonds between l‐rhamnose and d‐galacturonic acids in the backbone of rhamnogalacturonan‐I, a major component of the plant cell wall polysaccharide, pectin.

Increasing Rumen Microbial Diversity in Goats Favours the Adaptation to High‐Concentrate Diets With Minor Effects on Feed Utilization

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evolution has enabled ruminants to develop a complex rumen microbiota that aids in the digestion of fibrous feeds. This study examines whether promoting a highly diverse rumen microbiota during early life continues to offer long‐term benefits in modern dairy production systems, where young ruminants are reared without exposure to adult ...

Biochemical Characterization and Degradation Pattern of a Novel Endo-Type Bifunctional Alginate Lyase AlyA from Marine Bacterium Isoptericola halotolerans

Marine Drugs, 2018
Alginate lyases are important tools to prepare oligosaccharides with various physiological activities by degrading alginate. Particularly, the bifunctional alginate lyase can efficiently hydrolyze the polysaccharide into oligosaccharides.

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their
