The first crystal structure of FucWf4, a newly characterized fucosidase that has structural similarity to GH29 enzymes but is currently unclassified, is presented #GlycosideHydrolases #Fucoidan #Fucosidase doi.org/10.1107/S205...

Lastly , #viralproteins, with their high genetic diversity and mosaic structure, can have their biological function misinterpreted by #bioinformatics methods.
For example #Glycosidehydrolases are annotated as being involved in nutrient acquisition,

Structural variation in positive subsites in loop regions demonstrating high structural variability suggests potential differences in substrate specificity in family 168 glycoside hydrolases #GlycosideHydrolases #Fucoidanases #MarineBacteria doi.org/10.1107/S205...

Five new bacterial GH20 dispersins were cloned, expressed and characterized and four crystal structures were determined, greatly expanding the array of potential dispersin templates #GlycosideHydrolases #PolyNAcetylglucosamine doi.org/10.1107/S205...

Microbiota Involved in the Degradation of Tremella fuciformis Polysaccharide and Microbial Enzymatic Potential Revealed by Microbiome and Metagenome Tremella fuciformis, as a traditional edible fungus in Asian countries, is rich in polysaccharides with a variety of bioactivities. Nevertheless, its high molecular weight and complex structure have c...
