Cloning and Characterization of Pectate Lyases Expressed in the Esophageal Gland of the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Two pectate lyase genes (Bx-pel-1 and Bx-pel-2) were cloned from the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xy-lophilus. The deduced amino acid sequences of these pectate lyases are most similar to polysaccharide lyase family 3 proteins. Recombinant BxPEL1 showed highest activity on polygalacturonic ac...
