Utilization of ferulic acid in Aspergillus niger requires the transcription factor FarA and a newly identified Far-like protein (FarD) that lacks the canonical Zn(II)2Cys6 domain

Author(s): Arentshorst M; Reijngoud J; van Tol DJC; Reid ID; Arendsen Y; Pel HJ; van Peij NNME; Visser J; Punt PJ; Tsang A; Ram AFJ;

The feruloyl esterase B gene (faeB) is specifically induced by hydroxycinnamic acids (e.g. ferulic acid, caffeic acid and coumaric acid) but the transcriptional regulation network involved in faeB induction and ferulic acid metabolism has only been partially addressed. To identify transcription f ...

Screening of novel fungal Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 enzymes identifies three novel dual feruloyl/acetyl xylan esterases

Author(s): Dilokpimol A; Verkerk B; Li X; Bellemare A; Lavallee M; Frommhagen M; Nørmølle Underlin E; Kabel MA; Powlowski J; Tsang A; de Vries RP;

Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are important enzymes for plant biomass degradation and are both present in Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 (CE1) of the Carbohydrate-Active enZymes database. In this study, ten novel fungal CE1 enzymes from different subfamilies were het ...

Economizing the lignocellulosic hydrolysis process using heterologously expressed auxiliary enzymes feruloyl esterase D (CE1) and β-xylosidase (GH43) derived from thermophilic fungi Scytalidium thermophilum

Author(s): Agrawal D; Tsang A; Chadha BS;

Two lignocellulolytic accessory enzymes, feruloyl esterase D (FAED_SCYTH) and ß-xylosidase (XYL43B_SCYTH) were cloned and produced in the Pichia pastoris X33 as host. The molecular weight of recombinant enzymes FAED_SCYTH and XYL43B_SCYTH were ~ 31 and 40 kDa, respectively. FAED_SCYTH showed optimal activity at pH 6.0, 60 °C; and XYL43B_SCYTH at pH 7.0, 5 ...
