Functional analysis of the protocatechuate branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway in Aspergillus niger

Author(s): Sgro M; Chow N; Olyaei F; Arentshorst M; Geoffrion N; Ram AFJ; Powlowski J; Tsang A;

Bacteria and fungi catabolize plant-derived aromatic compounds by funneling into one of seven dihydroxylated aromatic intermediates, which then undergo ring fission and conversion to TCA cycle intermediates. Two of these intermediates, protocatechuic acid and catechol, converge on ß-ketoadipate which is further cleaved to succinyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. Thes ...

Identification of Genes Involved in the Degradation of Lignocellulose Using Comparative Transcriptomics

Author(s): Gruninger RJ; Tsang A; McAllister TA;

Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant, renewable resource that can be used to produce biofuels, low-cost livestock feed, and high-value chemicals. The potential of this bioresource has led to intensive research efforts to develop cost-effective methods to break down lignocellulose. The efficiency with which the anaerobic fungi (phylum Neocallimas ...

Comparative Analysis of Enzyme Production Patterns of Lignocellulose Degradation of Two White Rot Fungi: Obba rivulosa and Gelatoporia subvermispora

Author(s): Marinovíc M; Di Falco M; Aguilar Pontes MV; Gorzsás A; Tsang A; de Vries RP; Mäkelä MR; Hildén K;

The unique ability of basidiomycete white rot fungi to degrade all components of plant cell walls makes them indispensable organisms in the global carbon cycle. In this study, we analyzed the proteomes of two closely related white rot fungi, Obba rivulosa and Gelatoporia subvermispora, during eig ...

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 ...

Isolation and Preparation of Extracellular Proteins from Lignocellulose Degrading Fungi for Comparative Proteomic Studies Using Mass Spectrometry

Author(s): Robert J Gruninger

Fungi utilize a unique mechanism of nutrient acquisition involving extracellular digestion. To understand the biology of these microbes, it is important to identify and characterize the function of proteins that are secreted and involved in this process. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is a powerful tool to study complex mixtures of proteins and unders ...
