Analysis of a conserved cellulase transcriptional regulator reveals inducer-independent production of cellulolytic enzymes in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
, 2013 Cellulose is recalcitrant to deconstruction to glucose for use in fermentation strategies for biofuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulose. In Neurospora crassa, the transcriptional regulator, CLR-2, is required for cellulolytic gene expression and

Modeling the architecture of depolymerase-containing receptor binding proteins in Klebsiella phages [PDF]
, 2019 Klebsiella pneumoniae carries a thick polysaccharide capsule. This highly variable chemical structure plays an important role in its virulence. Many Klebsiella bacteriophages recognize this capsule with a receptor binding protein (RBP) that contains a ...

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,

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.

Gut Microbes, 2022 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are consistently present in the human colon in free forms and as part of proteoglycans. Their utilization is critical for the colonization and proliferation of gut bacteria and also the health of hosts. Hence, it is essential to

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

Exploring molecular determinants of polysaccharide lyase family 6–1 enzyme activity [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2021 Abstract The polysaccharide lyase family 6 (PL6) represents one of the 41 polysaccharide lyase families classified in the CAZy database with the vast majority of its members being alginate lyases grouped into three subfamilies, PL6_1–3. To decipher the mode of recognition and action of the enzymes belonging to subfamily PL6_1, we solved ...

Characterization of AlgMsp, an alginate lyase from Microbulbifer sp. 6532A.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Alginate is a polysaccharide produced by certain seaweeds and bacteria that consists of mannuronic acid and guluronic acid residues. Seaweed alginate is used in food and industrial chemical processes, while the biosynthesis of bacterial alginate is ...

Structural and mechanistic classification of uronic acid-containing polysaccharide lyases [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2010 Polysaccharide lyases (PLs) have been assigned to 21 families based on their sequences, with ~ 50 singletons awaiting further classification. For 19 of these families, the structure of at least one protein is known. In this review, we have analyzed the available structural information and show that presently known PL families belong to six general ...
