A low molecular mass pectate lyase from Fusarium moniliforme was unfolded reversibly by urea and Gdn-HCl at its optimum pH of 8.5, as monitored by intrinsic fluorescence, circular dichroism, and enzymatic activity measurements. Equilibrium unfolding studies yielded a deltaG(H(2)O) of 1.741 kcal/mol, D1/2 of 2.3M, and m value of 0.755kcal/molM with urea and a deltaG(H(2)O) of 1.927kcal/mol, D1/2 of 1.52M, and m value of 1.27 kcal/molM with Gdn-HCl as the denaturant. Thermal denaturation of the pectate lyase at, pH 8.5, was also reversible even after exposure to 75 degrees C for 10 min. Thermodynamic parameters calculated from thermal denaturation curves at pH values from 5.0 to 8.5 yielded a deltaCp of 0.864kcal/(molK). The deltaG(25 degrees C) at, pH 8.5, was 2.06kcal/mol and was in good agreement with the deltaG(H(2)O) values obtained from chemical denaturation curves. There was no exposure of hydrophobic pockets during chemical or thermal denaturation as indicated by the inability of ANS to bind the pectate lyase.

Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) is the only enzyme that synthesises S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) from ATP and methionine in organisms. While MAT has been extensively studied in plant development and responses to abiotic stress, its role in plant fertilization, particularly in pear pollen tube growth, has been scarcely researched. Here, we demonstrate that the homologous gene of AtMAT3 in pear, PbrMAT3, is positively involved in pear pollen tube elongation.

Hemp fibers, recognized for their breathability, specific strength, and ultraviolet resistance, are widely utilized in textile manufacturing and composite materials. Bio-degumming is a promising alternative technology to traditional chemical degumming that can be used to produce hemp fibers due to its eco-friendly nature. However, its lower efficiency has hindered its widespread adoption.

Pectate lyases, known for their alkaliphilic nature, are ideal for industrial applications that require specific pH conditions, particularly in industries such as textiles and pulp extraction. These enzymes, primarily from the polysaccharide lyase family 1 (PL1) of different microbial sources, play a vital role in polysaccharide degradation. Given the potent pectinolytic activity of Bacillus pectate lyases, targeting these enzymes is crucial for identifying the most effective candidates.
