Cellulose is the most abundant renewable polymer in nature and its deconstruction is one of the main challenges in converting biomass into biofuels and high-value products. Due to its crystalline structure, its degradation in nature is a slow process carried out by complex enzymatic systems. Recently, our research group identified a novel enzyme from the hidden metagenome of microbial com…
Carbohydrates have a wide chemical and structural variety, and to promote the cleavage of the myriad of chemical bonds present in polysaccharides, the glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are currently grouped within approximately 190 families with different architectures. Considering the intrinsic flexibility of the saccharide and the dynamic process of enzymatic catalysis, the interactions betwee…
Plant cell wall degradative enzymes have attracted great interest of scientists due to their many biological roles and industrial applications such as in biofuels, paper, textiles, food and beverage production processes. However, the depolymerization of plant cell wall by enzymatic routes is neither a fully consolidated process nor economically viable, being necessary the development of n…
Leishmaniasis are caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania and transmitted by sandflies insects. This disease affects about 350 million people in 88 countries. Since Leishmania is an intracellular parasite, the existence of efficient mechanisms for avoidance of toxic molecules such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen, is crucial to the ability of the parasite survival and replica…
Glycoside hydrolases from family 43 (GH43) act on the degradation of key polysaccharides that constitute the hemicellulose such as xylan and arabinans. However, despite this family having a strong correlation with plant cell wall deconstruction and being ubiquitous in plant biomass maceration specialized organisms, it is still poorly explored. GH43 is a very polyspecific family, divided i…
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) belonging to the subfamily Prx1, are typical 2-Cys peroxidases responsible for controlling the intracellular level of H2O2 and seem to assume a chaperone function under oxidative stress conditions. Members of this subfamily have two catalytic cysteines and constitute two homodimers with identical active sites located on opposite sides. In most cases, these dimers can…
