Bacterial lipolytic enzymes: classification and properties.
Knowledge of bacterial lipolytic enzymes is increasing at a rapid and exciting rate. To obtain an overview of this industrially very important class of enzymes and their characteristics, we have collected and classified the information available from protein and nucleotide databases. Here we propose an updated and extensive classification of bacterial esterases and lipases based mainly on a com...
متن کاملLipolytic enzymes in Myxococcus xanthus.
The genome of Myxococcus xanthus encodes lipolytic enzymes in three different families: patatin lipases, alpha/beta hydrolases, and GDSL lipases. One member of each family was characterized. The protein encoded by MXAN_3852 contains motifs characteristic of patatins. MXAN_5522 encodes a protein with the G-X-S-X-G motif characteristic of the lipase subfamily of alpha/beta hydrolases. MXAN_4569 e...
متن کاملLipolytic Enzymes Involved in the Virulence of Human Pathogenic Fungi
Pathogenic microbes secrete various enzymes with lipolytic activities to facilitate their survival within the host. Lipolytic enzymes include extracellular lipases and phospholipases, and several lines of evidence have suggested that these enzymes contribute to the virulence of pathogenic fungi. Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans are the most commonly isolated human fungal pathogens, ...
متن کاملPropensity based classification: Dehalogenase and non-dehalogenase enzymes
The present work was designed to classify and differentiate between the dehalogenase enzyme to non–dehalogenases (other hydrolases) by taking the amino acid propensity at the core, surface and both the parts. The data sets were made on an individual basis by selecting the 3D structures of protein available in the PDB (Protein Data Bank). The prediction of the core amino acid were predicted by I...
متن کاملThermus thermophilus as a Source of Thermostable Lipolytic Enzymes
Lipolytic enzymes, esterases (EC 3.1.1.1) and lipases (EC 3.1.1.3), catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds between alcohols and carboxylic acids, and its formation in organic media. At present, they represent about 20% of commercialized enzymes for industrial use. Lipolytic enzymes from thermophilic microorganisms are preferred for industrial use to their mesophilic counterparts, mainly due to ...
