(Lib.) de Bary is a devastating fungal pathogen with worldwide distribution. is a necrotrophic fungus that secretes many cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) that destroy plant's cell-wall components. Functional analyses of the genes that encode CWDEs will help explain the mechanisms of growth and pathogenicity of . Here, we isolated and characterized a gene that encoded an endo-β-1, 4-xylanase in . The expression showed a slight increase during the development and germination stages of sclerotia and a dramatic increase during infection. The expression of was induced by xylan. The deletion strains produce aberrant sclerotia that could not germinate to form apothecia. The deletion strains also lost virulence to the hosts. This study demonstrates the important roles of endo-β-1, 4-xylanase in the growth and virulence of

Article Synopsis
- - Arabinoxylan, a complex sugar, can be broken down by enzymes like α-l-arabinofuranosidase and xylanase; a new bifunctional enzyme (BoGH43_35) from Bacteroides ovatus has been studied for its ability to degrade these sugars.
- - The enzyme's structure features a stable 5-bladed β-propeller fold and carbohydrate-binding modules, with molecular dynamics confirming its compactness and stability during simulations.
- - Binding affinity analysis showed BoGH43_35 has the strongest interaction with arabinose and maintains stability in its complex forms, along with measurements suggesting good solubility and low aggregation in solution.

Xylanases are a class of glycoside hydrolases commonly used in the food, papermaking, and textile industries. However, most xylanases are rapidly inactivated under harsh industrial conditions. Here, a unique and robust GH11 xylanase, AncXyn18, was designed using an ancestral sequence reconstruction strategy, sequence analysis, structure prediction, and experimental verification.

Lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) present a considerable hurdle to the economic utilization of lignocellulosic biomass. Glucuronoyl esterase (GE) is an LCC-degrading enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of the cross-linkages between lignin and xylan in LCCs. Benzyl-d-glucuronate (Bn-GlcA), a commercially available substrate, is widely used to evaluate GE activity assays.

Paenibacillus xylaniclasticus strain TW1 is a promising tool for decomposing xylan-containing lignocellulosic biomass, since this strain possesses various genes encoding cellulolytic/hemicellulolytic enzymes. In this study, PxRex8A from the TW1 strain was found to be a reducing-end xylose-releasing exo-oligoxylanase of glycoside hydrolase family 8, which cleaves xylose from xylooligosaccharides of corn core xylan. In a synergistic assay, the efficient decomposition of oat spelt xylan (OSX) and beech wood xylan was exemplified in the combination of endo-β-1,4-xylanase (PxXyn11A) and PxRex8A from the TW1 strain in a molar ratio of 4:1.
