Abstract

Most of the presently known β-glucosidases are sensitive to end-product inhibition by glucose, restricting their potential use in many industrial applications. Identification of novel glucose tolerant β-glucosidase can prove a pivotal solution to eliminate end-product inhibition and enhance the overall lignocellulosic saccharification process. In this study, a novel gene encoding β-glucosidase BglNB11 of 1405bp was identified in the genome of Saccharomonospora sp. NB11 and was successfully cloned and heterologously expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3).The presence of conserved amino acids; NEPW and TENG indicated that BglNB11 belonged to GH1 β-glucosidases. The recombinant enzyme was purified using a Ni-NTA column, with the molecular mass of 51 kDa, using SDS-PAGE analysis. BglNB11 showed optimum activity at 40 °C and pH 7 and did not require any tested co-factors for activation. The kinetic values, Km, Vmax, kcat, and kcat/Km of purified enzyme were 0.4037 mM, 5735.8 μmol/min/mg, 5042.16 s-1 and 12487.71 s-1 mM-1, respectively. The enzyme was not inhibited by glucose to a concentration of 4 M but was slightly stimulated in the presence of glucose. Molecular docking of BglNB11 with glucose suggested that the relative binding positio...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
