Flexure wood formation via growth reprogramming in hybrid aspen involves jasmonates and polyamines and transcriptional changes resembling tension wood development

New Phytologist, Volume 240, Issue 6, Page 2312-2334, December 2023., 2023
Summary Stem bending in trees induces flexure wood but its properties and development are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of low‐intensity multidirectional stem flexing on growth and wood properties of hybrid aspen, and on its transcriptomic and hormonal responses.

Activity‐Based Protein Profiling in Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Reveals the Broad Reactivity of a Carmofur‐Derived Probe

ChemBioChem, Volume 24, Issue 21, November 2, 2023., 2023
Enzyme targets of activity‐based probes built on the anti‐neoplastic drug and antimicrobial agent carmofur in methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been identified. Chemoproteomic profiling revealed a broad reactivity of the probe against both cysteine and serine hydrolases, and identified uncharacterized bacterial enzymes; this has ...

A unique AA5 alcohol oxidase fused with a catalytically inactive CE3 domain from the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei

FEBS Letters, Volume 597, Issue 13, Page 1779-1791, July 2023., 2023
Copper radical oxidases (CROs) from Auxiliary Activities family 5 can oxidize various alcohol substrates. Bacterial CROs are less studied than eukaryotic enzymes. Here we have characterized an unusual bacterial CRO that acts only on primary alcohols and is fused to a carbohydrate esterase domain, which was completely inactive due to substitutions of ...

Investigating the defoliating‐like (DL) VCG2A pathotype of Verticillium dahliae through identification and prediction of secreted proteins from genomes of Australian isolates

Plant Pathology, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 334-341, February 2023., 2023
A defoliating‐like VCG2A Verticillium dahliae isolate was observed to have 20 secreted proteins in common with virulent phenotypes; interestingly half of these were most closely related to proteins from a VCG6 isolate. Abstract In Australia, recent investigations have reported the presence of a number of Verticillium dahliae pathotypes (VCG1A, VCG2A ...

A lipopolysaccharide‐dependent phage infects a pseudomonad phytopathogen and can evolve to evade phage resistance

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 4834-4852, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Bacterial pathogens are major causes of crop diseases, leading to significant production losses. For instance, kiwifruit canker, caused by the phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), has posed a global challenge to kiwifruit production.

Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution, and Expression of GDSL-Type Esterase/Lipase Gene Family in Soybean

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
GDSL-type esterase/lipase proteins (GELPs) belong to the SGNH hydrolase superfamily and contain a conserved GDSL motif at their N-terminus. GELPs are widely distributed in nature, from microbes to plants, and play crucial roles in growth and development,

Bioprospecting for Thermozymes and Characterization of a Novel Lipolytic Thermozyme Belonging to the SGNH/GDSL Family of Hydrolases

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Functional screenings were conducted on two metagenomic libraries from hot springs in order to find novel thermozymes with potential biotechnological applications. These included enzymes acting on plant cell walls such as endoglucanases and exoglucanases, β-glucosidases, xylanases, and β-xylosidases, and broad application enzymes such as proteases and ...

Identification and structural characterization of a novel acetyl xylan esterase from Aspergillus oryzae. [PDF]

FEBS J
A novel acetyl xylan esterase was discovered from Aspergillus oryzae. The deacetylase activity toward wheat arabinoxylan increased synergistically with xylanase addition. The crystal structure exhibited hybrid features between two α/β‐hydrolase families, highlighting its structural uniqueness.

Mechanistic Pathways for Peptidoglycan O-Acetylation and De-O-Acetylation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The post-synthetic O-acetylation of the essential component of bacterial cell walls, peptidoglycan (PG), is performed by many pathogenic bacteria to help them evade the lytic action of innate immunity responses.

CE16 acetylesterases: in silico analysis, catalytic machinery prediction and comparison with related SGNH hydrolases

3 Biotech, 2021
Bioinformatics analysis was focused on unique acetylesterases annotated in the CAZy database within the CE16 family and simultaneously belonging to the SGNH hydrolase superfamily. The CE16 acetylesterases were compared to structurally related SGNH hydrolases: (i) selected members of the CE2, CE3, CE6, CE12 and CE17 family of the CAZy database and (ii ...
