About Textpresso Categories/Ontology Copyright Downloads Feedback Home Query Language Search User Guide
Enter keyword(s) and/or category/ies. Selecting categories for a query makes a search more specific. For example, you can retrieve sentences that contain the word HSN and a Oryza sativa gene name by typing the keyword 'SPW1' and choosing the category 'gene (Oryza sativa)'. A category hit occurs when a particular word or phrase in the sentence is defined as a member of a particular category. Categories will be concatenated by a Boolean 'and' operation to other categories and keyword(s) if present. To search for terms in categories, click on the Categories/Ontology link above.
Keywords
Separate multiple, required keywords by white spaces (Boolean 'and').
Separate multiple, alternative keywords by a comma with no white spaces (Boolean 'or').
Enter phrases in double quotes, and put a '-' sign in front of words which are to be excluded.

Narrow your search results with filter:
Put a '+' sign in front of words which have to be included, a '-' sign in front of words which have to be excluded. Enter the field of the word, viz author, title, year, journal, abstract, type or sentence in square brackets. Enter phrases in double quotes.
For example, to find all the papers in the search result that have Jack as author, but not John, enter +Jack-John[author]. To exclude all papers that have the phrase double mutant in title, enter -"double mutant"[title]. You can combine several filters and enter something like +Jack-John[author] -"double mutant"[title] +1994[year] -review[type].

[ Sen. 4, subscore: 3.00 ]: A novel beta-glucosidase ( BGL ) -producing strain was isolated and identified as Penicillium purpurogenum KJS506 based on its morphology and internal transcribed spacer ( ITS ) rDNA gene sequence . When rice straw and corn steep powder were used as carbon and nitrogen sources , respectively , the maximal BGL activity of 12 . 3 U ml ( -1 ) , one of the highest levels among BGL-producing microorganisms was observed . The optimum temperature and pH for BGL production were 32 degrees C and 4 , respectively . An extracellular BGL was purified to homogeneity by sequential chromatography of P purpurogenum culture supernatants , and the purified BGL showed higher activity ( V ( max ) = 934 U mg protein ( -1 ) ) than most BGLs from other sources . The complete ORF of bgl3 was cloned from P purpurogenum by a modified thermal asymmetric interlaced polymerase chain reaction . The bgl3 gene consists of a 2 , 571-bp ORF and encodes a putative protein containing 856 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 89 , 624 Da .

[ Sen. 4, subscore: 2.00 ]: The rice BGlu1 beta-D-glucosidase nucleophile mutant E386G is a glycosynthase that catalyzes the synthesis of cellooligosaccharides from alpha-d-glucopyranosyl fluoride ( GlcF ) donor and p-nitrophenyl ( pNP ) cellobioside ( Glc2-pNP ) or cello-oligosaccharide acceptors . When activity with other donors and acceptors was tested , the initial enzyme preparation cleaved pNP-beta-D-glucopyranoside ( Glc-pNP ) and pNP-beta-D-fucopyranoside ( Fuc-pNP ) to pNP and glucose and fucose , suggesting contamination with wild type BGlu1 beta-glucosidase . The products from reaction of GlcF and Fuc-pNP included Fuc-beta- ( 1-->3 ) -Fuc-pNP , Glc-beta- ( 1-->3 ) -Fuc-pNP , and Fuc-beta- ( 1-->4 ) -Glc-beta- ( 1-->3 ) -Fuc-pNP , suggesting the presence of both wild type BGlu1 and its glycosynthase . Inhibition of the BGlu1 beta-glucosidase activity within this preparation by cyclophellitol confirmed that the E386G glycosynthase preparation was contaminated with wild type BGlu1 . Rice BGlu1 E386G-2 , generated from a new construct designed to minimize back-mutation , showed glycosynthase activity without wild type hydrolytic or transglycosylation activity . E386G-2 catalyzed transfer of glycosyl residues from GlcF , alpha-L-arabinosyl fluoride , alpha-D-fucosyl fluoride , alpha-D-galactosyl fluoride , alpha-D-mannosyl fluoride , and alpha-D-xylosyl fluoride donors to Glc2-pNP acceptor . The synthetic products from the reactions of alpha-fucosyl fluoride and alpha-mannosyl fluoride donors were confirmed to result from addition of a beta- ( 1-->4 ) -linked glycosyl residue .

Mutations of BGlu1 beta-glucosidase at glutamate residue 414 of its natural precursor destroyed the enzymes catalytic activity , but the enzyme could be rescued in the presence of the anionic nucleophiles formate and azide , which verifies that this residue is the catalytic nucleophile .

Analysis of spontaneous avr-pita ( - ) mutants indicated that the gene is located in a telomeric 6 . 5-kb BglII restriction fragment . Cloning and DNA sequencing led to the identification of a candidate gene with features typical of metalloproteases . This gene is located entirely within the most distal 1 . 5 kb of the chromosome . When introduced into virulent rice pathogens , the cloned gene specifically confers avirulence toward rice cultivars that contain Pi-ta .

And the maximal endo-beta-1 , 4-glucanases ( EG ) activity was 18064 u/mL which is 1 . 87 times of the previous and the maximal filter paper enzyme ( FPase ) activity was 4035 u/mL which is 1 . 47 times of the previous , cultured in the optimal condition for four days . In the optimization experiments , the EG and CBH in the culture condition ( pH10 ) maintained 70% and 43% activity . In the culture condition ( 50 degrees C ) EG and CBH maintained 59% and 68% activity , which showed heat and alkali resistant characteristics .

[ Sen. 2, subscore: 1.00 ]: A white rot fungus , identified as Trametes hirsuta based on morphological and phylogenetic analysis , was found to contain efficient cellulose degrading enzymes . The strain showed maximum endoglucanase ( EG ) , cellobiohydrolase ( CBH ) and beta-glucosidase ( BGL ) activities of 55 , 0 . 28 and 5 . 0 U/mg-protein , respectively . Rice straw was found to be a potentially good substrate for growth of T hirsuta for cellulase production . Statistical experimental design was used to optimize hydrolysis parameters such as pH , temperature , and concentrations of substrates and enzymes to achieve the highest saccharification yield . Enzyme concentration was identified as the limiting factor for saccharification of rice straw . A maximum saccharification rate of 88% was obtained at an enzyme concentration of 37 . 5 FPU/g-substrate after optimization of the hydrolysis parameters .

[ Sen. 7, subscore: 1.00 ]: Os3BGlu6 , a rice beta-glucosidase representing a previously uncharacterized phylogenetic cluster of GH1 , was produced in recombinant Escherichia coli . Os3BGlu6 hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl ( pNP ) -beta-d-fucoside ( k ( cat ) /K ( m ) = 67 mm ( -1 ) s ( -1 ) ) , pNP-beta-d-glucoside ( k ( cat ) /K ( m ) = 6 . 2 mm ( -1 ) s ( -1 ) ) , and pNP-beta-d-galactoside ( k ( cat ) /K ( m ) = 1 . 6 mm ( -1 ) s ( -1 ) ) efficiently but had little activity toward other pNP glycosides . It also had high activity toward n-octyl-beta-d-glucoside and beta- ( 1-->3 ) - and beta- ( 1-->2 ) -linked disaccharides and was able to hydrolyze apigenin beta-glucoside and several other natural glycosides . Crystal structures of Os3BGlu6 and its complexes with a covalent intermediate , 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucoside , and a nonhydrolyzable substrate analog , n-octyl-beta-d-thioglucopyranoside , were solved at 1 . 83 , 1 . 81 , and 1 . 80 A resolution , respectively . The position of the covalently trapped 2-F-glucosyl residue in the enzyme was similar to that in a 2-F-glucosyl intermediate complex of Os3BGlu7 ( rice BGlu1 ) . The side chain of methionine-251 in the mouth of the active site appeared to block the binding of extended beta- ( 1-->4 ) -linked oligosaccharides and interact with the hydrophobic aglycone of n-octyl-beta-d-thioglucopyranoside . This correlates with the preference of Os3BGlu6 for short oligosaccharides and hydrophobic glycosides .

[ Sen. 2, subscore: 1.00 ]: Agaricus arvensis , a newly isolated basidiomycetous fungus , was found to secrete efficient cellulases . The strain produced the highest endoglucanase ( EG ) , cellobiohydrolase ( CBH ) and beta-glucosidase ( BGL ) activities of 0 . 3 , 3 . 2 and 8U/mg-protein , respectively , with rice straw as the carbon source . Saccharification of the woody biomass with A arvensis cellulase as the enzyme source released a high level of fermentable sugars . Enzymatic hydrolysis of the poplar biomass was optimized using the response surface methodology in order to study the influence of the variables ( pH , temperature , cellulases concentration and substrate concentration ) . The enzyme and substrate concentrations were identified as the limiting factors for the saccharification of poplar wood biomass . A total reducing sugar level of 29g/L ( 293mg/g-substrate ) was obtained at an enzyme concentration of 65FPU/g-substrate after optimization of the hydrolysis parameters .
