The entire pectate lyase cDNA (Pel1) of Penicillium occitanis was cloned from a cDNA bank and sequenced. The ORF exhibited a great homology to Penicillium marneffei and conservation of all features of fungal pectate lyases such as the barrel structure with "eight right-handed parallel β-helix" architecture. The structure modeling also showed the interesting resemblance with thermostable pectate lyases since several specific residues were also shared by Pel1 and these thermostable enzymes. Having shown that the enzyme retains its activity after endoH-mediated deglycosylation, we investigated its expression in Escherichia coli BL21 using the pET28-a vector. This expression was shown to be optimum when cells were induced at room temperature in 2YT medium rather than at 37 °C and LB medium. In such conditions, the recombinant protein was apparently produced more in soluble form than as inclusion bodies. The effect of NaCl concentration was investigated during the binding and elution steps of recombinant His-tagged enzyme on MagneHis Ni-particles. The purified enzyme was shown to retain its thermo-activity as well as a great tolerance to high concentration of NaCl and imidazole.

In this study, heterologous MlPG28B expression was obtained by cloning the Mucor lusitanicus gene screened from a marine environment. The enzyme activity of MlPG28B was maximum at 60 °C, 30 % of the enzyme activity was retained after incubation at 100 °C for 30 min, and enzyme activity was still present after 60 min incubation, one of the best thermostable polygalacturonases characterized until now. The high-purity oligosaccharide standards (DP2-DP7) were prepared with polygalacturonic acid as a substrate.

This study focuses on the isolation, purification, and characterisation of -polygalacturonase II from FAT43, particularly emphasising its potential applications in the fruit juice industry. A comprehensive screening test revealed the temporal dynamics of -polygalacturonase production during a 96-hour fermentation process. The purification process, involving ammonium sulfate and ethanol precipitation followed by ion-exchange chromatography, resulted in a 3.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a thermostable pectate lyase (Pel419) from a DCE-01 strain to enhance ramie degumming efficiency through structural analysis and rational design.
- Five amino acid sites were modified, resulting in mutant enzymes that maintained optimal reaction temperatures similar to the wild type, but with improved enzyme activity and thermal stability in mutant V52A.
- The V52A mutant demonstrated promising results in the ramie degumming process, matching the effectiveness of commercial enzymes, highlighting its potential for industrial applications.

Background: Ramie degumming is often carried out at high temperatures; therefore, thermostable alkaline pectate lyase (PL) is beneficial for ramie degumming for industrial applications. Thermostable PLs are usually obtained by exploring new enzymes or reconstructing existing enzyme by rational design. Here, we improved the thermostability of an alkaline pectate lyase (PelN) from Paenibacillus sp.
