N-linked glycosylation affects catalytic parameters and fluctuation of the active center of Aspergillus awamori exo-inulinase.

Heterogeneous expression of enzymes allows large-scale production with reduced costs. Changes in glycosylation often occur due to changes in the expression host. In the study, the catalytic and biochemical properties of Aspergillus awamori exo-inulinase 1 are compared for A.

Novel His-tag Variants for Insertion Inside Polypeptide Chain.

His-tags are protein affinity tags ubiquitously used due to their convenience and effectiveness. However, in some individual cases, the attachment of His-tags to a protein's N- or C-termini resulted in impairment of the protein's structure or function, which led to attempts to include His-tags inside of polypeptide chains. In this work, we describe newly designed internal His-tags, where two triplets of histidine residues are separated by glycine residues to avoid steric hindrances and consequently minimize their impact on the protein structure.

The role of intracellular β-glucosidase in cellulolytic response induction in filamentous fungus Penicillium verruculosum.

In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing was used to knockout the bgl2 gene encoding intracellular β-glucosidase filamentous fungus Penicillium verruculosum. This resulted in a dramatic reduction of secretion of cellulolytic enzymes. The study of P.

Single substitution in α-helix of active center enhanced thermostability of Aspergillus awamori exo-inulinase.

Exo-inulinases are applied in inulin hydrolysis and production of feed additives and need to be stable at temperatures of 60-95 °C. Aspergillus awamori exo-inulinase Inu1 is considerably thermostable, with a T of 73.2 °C.

Enhancement of activity and thermostability of Aspergillus niger ATCC 10864 phytase A through rational design.

Aspergillus niger ATCC 10864 phytase A was produced in Penicillium verruculosum. The enzyme was found to have two pH optima of 2.5 and 5.

First Report of Causing Garlic clove Rot in Russian Federation.
