Genetic Impacts on the Structure and Mechanics of Cellulose Made by Bacteria

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 33, September 4, 2025.
A genetic mutation in a protease of a cellulose‐overproducing evolved bacterium significantly affects the proteome, structure, and mechanical properties of bio‐fabricated cellulose pellicles. By overexpressing synthase proteins that build the cellulose‐forming biological machinery of the cell, the evolved bacterium generates dense, stiff, and strong ...

A natural variation in the promoter of TaGDSL‐7D contributes to grain weight and yield in wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3851-3863, September 2025.
Summary Grain weight (GW) is a critical agronomic trait that greatly impacts wheat yield, yet the underlying genetic factors remain largely unknown. Here, we identify and characterize a candidate gene TaGDSL‐7D controlling GW in wheat through map‐based cloning, which encodes an ER‐located GDSL‐family protein.

Bifunctional properties and characterization of a novel sialidase with esterase activity from Bifidobacterium bifidum

, 2018
Sialidases catalyze the removal of terminal sialic acid from various complex carbohydrates. In the gastrointestinal tract, sialic acid is commonly found in the sugar chain of mucin, and many enteric commensals use mucin as a nutrient source.

The carnivorous rainbow plant Byblis filifolia Planch. secretes digestive enzymes in response to prey capture independently of jasmonates

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 549-557, June 2025.
Secretion of digestive enzymes in response to prey capture in carnivorous plants with sticky traps is regulated by jasmonates in Drosera capensis but differently by unknown factor in Byblis filifolia. Abstract Carnivorous plants from the order Caryophyllales co‐opted plant phytohormones from a group of jasmonates to regulate digestive enzyme activity ...

Identification and structural characterization of a novel acetyl xylan esterase from Aspergillus oryzae

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 10, Page 2527-2544, May 2025.
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.

Crystallization and structure elucidation of GDSL esterase of Photobacterium sp. J15 [PDF]

, 2018
GDSL esterase J15 (EstJ15) is a member of Family II of lipolytic enzyme. The enzyme was further classified in subgroup SGNH hydrolase due to the presence of highly conserve motif, Ser-Gly-Asn-His in four conserved blocks I, II, III, and V, respectively ...

Association study of crude seed protein and fat concentration in a USDA pea diversity panel

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a key rotational crop and is increasingly important in the food processing sector for its protein. This study focused on identifying diverse high seed protein concentration (SPC) lines in pea plant genetic resources.

Characterization of a novel oligomeric SGNH-arylesterase from Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021.

, 2010
A novel oligomeric SGNH-arylesterase (Sm23) from Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 was characterized using biochemical and biophysical methods. A sequence comparison of Sm23 with other SGNH members confirmed the presence of catalytic triad (Ser(10), Asp(187 ...

Studies of genetic diversity and genome‐wide association for vitamin C content in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) using high‐throughput SNP arrays

The Plant Genome, Volume 17, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a source of beneficial compounds though they are generally present in low quantities. We used 40K Axiom and 9K Infinium SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) arrays to (i) explore the genetic variability in 21 varieties and (ii) carry out genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) of vitamin C content in21 varieties ...
