A Structural Basis for Depolymerization of Alginate by Polysaccharide Lyase Family-7

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2005
Alginate lyases depolymerize alginate, a heteropolysaccharide consisting of alpha-L-guluronate and beta-D-mannuronate, through a beta-elimination reaction. Their structure/function relationships are expected to provide information valuable to future industrial alginate processing and drug design for Pseudomonas aeruginosa alginate biofilm-dependent ...

An engineered polysaccharide lyase to combat harmful algal blooms

Biochemical Engineering Journal, 2018
Abstract A growing global population and industrialization have come at the cost of induced climate change and pollution of natural resources, resulting in formation of toxic algal blooms in fresh water sources. In the US alone, these blooms cost an estimated $1.5 billion dollars each year to remediate.

Discovery and characterization of a novel poly-mannuronate preferred alginate lyase: The first member of a new polysaccharide lyase family

Carbohydrate Polymers
Alginate is one of the most important marine colloidal polysaccharides, and its oligosaccharides have been proven to possess diverse biological functions. Alginate lyases could specifically degrade alginate and therefore serve as desirable tools for the research and development of alginate.

Polysaccharide lyases

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1987
Polysaccharide lyases (or eliminases) are a class of enzymes (EC 4.2.2.-) that act to cleave certain activated glycosidic linkages present in acidic polysaccharides. These enzymes act through an eliminase mechanism, rather than through hydrolysis, resulting in unsaturated oligosaccharide products.

Action pattern of polysaccharide lyases on glycosaminoglycans

Glycobiology, 1994
The action pattern of polysaccharide lyases on glycosaminoglycan substrates was examined using viscosimetric measurements and gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Heparin lyase I (heparinase, EC 4.2.2.7) and heparin lyase II (no EC number) both acted on heparin in a random endolytic fashion.

Polysaccharide Lyases: Recent Developments as Biotechnological Tools

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2003
Polysaccharide lyases, which are polysaccharide cleavage enzymes, act mainly on anionic polysaccharides. Produced by prokaryote and eukaryote organisms, these enzymes degrade (1,4) glycosidic bond by a beta elimination mechanism and have unsaturated oligosaccharides as major products.

Probing the pH Effects on Sugar Binding to a Polysaccharide Lyase

The 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).

Posttranslational processing of polysaccharide lyase: maturation route for gellan lyase in Bacillus sp. GL1

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2004
Cells of Bacillus sp. GL1 extracellularly secrete a gellan lyase with a molecular mass of 130 kDa responsible for the depolymerization of a heteropolysaccharide (gellan), although the gene is capable of encoding a huge protein with a molecular mass of 263 kDa.

Analysis of Glycosaminoglycans with Polysaccharide Lyases

Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, 1999
Polysaccharide lyases are a class of enzymes useful for analysis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the glycosaminoglycan component of proteoglycans (PGs). These enzymes cleave specific glycosidic linkages present in acidic polysaccharides and result in depolymerization.

A New Member of Family 11 Polysaccharide Lyase, Rhamnogalacturonan Lyase (CtRGLf) from Clostridium thermocellum

Molecular Biotechnology, 2016
A thermostable, alkaline rhamnogalacturonan lyase (RG lyase) CtRGLf, of family 11 polysaccharide lyase from Clostridium thermocellum was cloned, expressed, purified and biochemically characterised. Both, the full-length CtRGLf (80 kDa) protein and its truncated derivative CtRGL (63.9 kDa) were expressed as soluble proteins and displayed maximum ...
