Functional-Genomics-Based Identification and Characterization of Open Reading Frames Encoding [alpha]-Glucoside-Processing Enzymes in the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus

Functional-Genomics-Based Identification and Characterization of Open Reading Frames Encoding [alpha]-Glucoside-Processing Enzymes in the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus

Bioinformatics analysis and transcriptional response information for Pyrococcus furiosus grown on α-glucans led to the identification of a novel isomaltase (PF0132) representing a new glycoside hydrolase (GH) family, a novel GH57 β-amylase (PF0870), and an extracellular starch-binding protein (1,141...

Description
Summary:Bioinformatics analysis and transcriptional response information for Pyrococcus furiosus grown on α-glucans led to the identification of a novel isomaltase (PF0132) representing a new glycoside hydrolase (GH) family, a novel GH57 β-amylase (PF0870), and an extracellular starch-binding protein (1,141 amino acids; PF1109-PF1110), in addition to several other putative α-glucan-processing enzymes.
