Regulation of Expression of Scaffoldin-Related Genes in Clostridium thermocellum [PDF]
ABSTRACT Clostridium thermocellum produces an extracellular multienzyme complex, termed the cellulosome, that allows efficient solubilization of crystalline cellulose. The complex is organized around a large noncatalytic protein subunit, termed CipA or scaffoldin, and is found either free in the supernatant or cell ...

Abstract Expansins are a group of proteins from diverse organisms from bacteria to plants. Although expansins show structural conservation, their biological roles seem to differ among kingdoms. In plants, these proteins remodel the cell wall during plant growth and other processes.

Production of Heterologous and Chimeric Scaffoldins by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 converts sugars and various polysaccharides into acids and solvents. This bacterium, however, is unable to utilize cellulosic substrates, since it is able to secrete very small amounts of cellulosomes.

Minimalistic Cellulosome of the Butanologenic Bacterium
Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum is a mesophilic, anaerobic, butanol-producing bacterium, originally isolated from soil. It was recently reported that C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum possesses multiple cellulosomal elements and would potentially form

Promising bioremediation strategies for plastics waste are of great importance and requirements. In our study, we constructed a recombinant Clostridium thermocellum strain expressing a secretory cutinase (LCC) as a thermophilic whole‐cell biocatalyst to degrade PET under high‐temperature condition (60°C).

A Novel Acetivibrio cellulolyticus Anchoring Scaffoldin That Bears Divergent Cohesins [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sequencing of a cellulosome-integrating gene cluster in Acetivibrio cellulolyticus was completed. The cluster contains four tandem scaffoldin genes ( scaA , scaB , scaC , and scaD ) bounded upstream and

The contribution of cellulosomal scaffoldins to cellulose hydrolysis by Clostridium thermocellum analyzed by using thermotargetrons [PDF]
Clostridium thermocellum is a thermophilic anaerobic bacterium that degrades cellulose by using a highly effective cellulosome, a macromolecular complex consisting of multiple cellulose degrading enzymes organized and attached to the cell surface by non-catalytic scaffoldins. However, due largely to lack of efficient methods for genetic manipulation of

The immunophilin FKBP51, the angiomotin AmotL2, and the scaffoldin IQGAP1 are overexpressed in many types of cancer, with the highest increase in leucocytes from patients undergoing oxaliplatin chemotherapy.
