Combinatorial assembly and optimisation of designer cellulosomes: a galactomannan case study [PDF]
Background Designer cellulosomes are self-assembled chimeric enzyme complexes that can be used to improve lignocellulosic biomass degradation. They are composed of a synthetic multimodular backbone protein, termed the scaffoldin, and a range of different

Single-cell analysis of yeast surface display for designer cellulosome applications using a fluorescent protein complex [PDF]
Designer cellulosomes (DCs) are precisely engineered multi-enzyme complexes aimed at lignocellulose saccharification. Achieving spontaneous designer cellulosome display on yeast cell surfaces has been a long-term objective to enhance consolidated ...

The Epithelial Egg Tooth of the Chicken Shares Protein Markers with the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feathers [PDF]
The epithelial egg tooth is used by birds to open the eggshell for hatching. This ectodermal structure consists of a multilayered periderm and a hard cornified portion, the caruncle or actual egg tooth.

Establishment of a culture model for the prolonged maintenance of chicken feather follicles structure in vitro. [PDF]
Protocols allowing the in vitro culture of human hair follicles in a serum free-medium up to 9 days were developed 30 years ago. By using similar protocols, we achieved the prolonged maintenance in vitro of juvenile feather follicles (FF) microdissected ...

A genomic analysis reveals the diversity of cellulosome displaying bacteria [PDF]
IntroductionSeveral species of cellulolytic bacteria display cellulosomes, massive multi-cellulase containing complexes that degrade lignocellulosic plant biomass (LCB). A greater understanding of cellulosome structure and enzyme content could facilitate

Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals a Dual Role of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex in the Skin and the Oesophagus [PDF]
ABSTRACT The epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) is a cluster of genes implicated in the control of the skin barrier. However, some EDC genes are also expressed at high levels in the human oesophagus. To determine whether the expression of EDC genes in the oesophagus is evolutionarily conserved, we performed comparative transcriptomic analyses of ...

Combining in Vitro and in Silico Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy to Characterize and Tune Cellulosomal Scaffoldin Mechanics [PDF]
Cellulosomes are polyprotein machineries that efficiently degrade cellulosic material. Crucial to their function are scaffolds consisting of highly homologous cohesin domains, which serve a dual role by coordinating a multiplicity of enzymes as well as ...
