Crystal structure and functional characterization of an oligosaccharide dehydrogenase from Pycnoporus cinnabarinus provides insights into fungal breakdown of lignocellulose by Gabriele Cerutti, Elena Gugole, Linda Celeste Montemiglio, Annick Turbé-Doan, Dehbia Chena, David Navarro, Anne Lomascolo, François Piumi, Cécile Exertier, Ida Freda, Beatrice Vallone, Eric Record, Carmelinda Savino, Giuliano Sciara

“…Based on sequence similarity to known fungal GDHs, an AA3_2 enzyme active on glucose was identified in the genome of Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, a model Basidiomycete able to completely degrade lignin. Results In our work, substrate screening and functional characterization showed an unexpected preferential activity of this enzyme toward oligosaccharides containing a β(1→3) glycosidic bond, with the highest efficiency observed for the disaccharide laminaribiose. …”
