Characterization of a GDS(L)-like hydrolase from Pleurotus sapidus with an unusual SGNH motif [PDF]
The GDS(L)-like lipase from the Basidiomycota Pleurotus sapidus (PSA_Lip) was heterologously expressed using Trichoderma reesei with an activity of 350 U L−1. The isoelectric point of 5.0 was determined by isoelectric focusing.

Insights into a water-mediated catalytic triad architecture in CE20 carbohydrate esterases [PDF]
Carbohydrate esterases modify polysaccharides by removing different ester moieties thereby affecting their physicochemical properties and their accessibility by glycoside hydrolases. We determined the full-length structures of two members (Fl8CE20_II and

A Csi‐miR3954b‐CsCE70/CsPLA1 Regulatory Module Enhances Citrus Fruit Resistance to Penicillium digitatum by Promoting Phenolic Acid and Flavonoid Biosynthesis [PDF]
Csi‐miR3954b targets CsCE70 and CsPLA1, promoting the synthesis of phenolic acids and flavonoids, thereby enhancing citrus resistance to postharvest green mould. ABSTRACT Green mould is one of the major postharvest diseases affecting citrus. Although evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in plant defence responses, their roles and ...

Biochemical Characterization of Multimodular Xylanolytic Carbohydrate Esterases from the Marine Bacterium Flavimarina sp. Hel_I_48 [PDF]
Multimodular carbohydrate‐active enzymes often combine different catalytic activities for efficient polysaccharide degradation. In this work, the structural and functional characterization of three multimodular xylan‐targeting esterases, Fl6, Fll1 and Fll4 from Flavimarina sp. Hel_I_48, are presented.
