Subject:
Paropsis atomaria; beta-glucosidase; glucosides; hydrogen cyanide; larvae
Abstract:
... (R)Mandelonitrile and the cyanogenic glucoside prunasin have been established as the source of HCN in all stages of the Australian beetle Paropsis atomaria. Quantitative data for both compounds and all life stages are presented. The larvae contain a β-glucosidase activity capable of hydrolysing prunasin and also β-cyanoalanine synthase activity enabling the disposal of free cyanide. ...

In our previous study, the activity of recombinant Bgl1B was competitively inhibited by glucose with an IC₅₀ value of 30mM. Based on amino acids sequence alignment with other GH1 β-glucosidases, including BglB from Paenibacillus polymyxa whose structure has been solved, the 184th and 409th resid ...

Abstract:
... Production of renewable fuels and chemicals from cellulosic biomass is a critical step towards energy sustainability and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Microbial cells have been engineered for producing chemicals from cellulosic sugars. Among these chemicals, 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) is a compound of interest due to its diverse applications. While microbial production of 2,3-BDO with high yield ...

Abstract:
... We engineered efficient 2,3-butanediol (23BD) production from cellobiose using Bacillus subtilis. First, we found that B. subtilis harboring an empty vector could produce 23BD from cellobiose. However, productivity using cellobiose as a carbon source was lower than that when using glucose. This lower productivity was improved by adding purified beta-glucosidase from Thermobifida fusca YX (Tfu_0937 ...

Abstract:
... In order to defend themselves against arthropod herbivores, maize plants produce 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones (BXs), which are stored as weakly active glucosides in the vacuole. Upon tissue disruption, BXs come into contact with β-glucosidases, resulting in the release of active aglycones and their breakdown products. While some aglycones can be reglucosylated by specialist herbivores, little is known ab ...

Abstract:
... Desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal) (Orthoptera, Acrididae), are generalist herbivores that, in the Sahara desert, may at times feed only on Schouwia purpurea (Forskal) (Brassicaceae), that is 10 times richer in thioglucosides than currently observed in other crucifers (> 100 micromoles/g d.w.). Thioglucosides, when ingested, release products that are usually toxic to generalist insect ...

Because ER bodies are induced by wounding and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment in rosette leaves, they might be responsible for defense systems.

Although wheat and rye glucosidases have high sequence identity, they have different substrate preferences; the wheat enzyme favors DIMBOA-Glc (2-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one) over DIBOA-Glc (7-demethoxy-DIMBOA-Glc), whereas the rye enzyme prefer ...
