Journal ArticleDOI
Expression in Trichoderma reesei and characterisation of a thermostable family 3 β-glucosidase from the moderately thermophilic fungus Talaromyces emersonii
Patrick Murray,Nina Aro,Catherine Majella Collins,Alice Grassick,Merja Penttilä,Markku Saloheimo,Maria G. Tuohy +6 more
TL;DR: The gene encoding a thermostable beta-glucosidase (cel3a) was isolated from the thermophilic fungus Talalaromyces emersonii by degenerate PCR and expressed in the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional structure of a thermostable native cellobiohydrolase, CBH IB, and molecular characterization of the cel7 gene from the filamentous fungus, Talaromyces emersonii.
Alice Grassick,Patrick Murray,Róisı́n Thompson,Catherine Majella Collins,Lucy Byrnes,Gabriel Birrane,Tim Higgins,Maria G. Tuohy +7 more
TL;DR: The X-ray structure of native cellobiohydrolase IB (CBH IB) from the filamentous fungus Talaromyces emersonii, PDB 1Q9H, was solved to 2.4 A by molecular replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The research activities of the BAMMBO project are provided as they fit within the wider scope of sustainable environmentally conscientious marine resource exploitation for high-value biomolecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning, transcriptional, and expression analysis of the first cellulase gene (cbh2), encoding cellobiohydrolase II, from the moderately thermophilic fungus Talaromyces emersonii and structure prediction of the gene product.
TL;DR: A gene (cbh2) encoding cellobiohydrolase II was isolated from the fungus Talaromyces emersonii by rapid amplification of cDNA ends techniques and the equivalent genomic sequence was subsequently cloned, representing the first report of a key component of the cellulase regulon from this organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning and expression analysis of two distinct beta-glucosidase genes, bg1 and aven1, with very different biological roles from the thermophilic, saprophytic fungus Talaromyces emersonii.

TL;DR: This work represents the first report of an avenacinase gene from a thermophilic, saprophytic fungal source, and suggests that this gene is not exclusive to plant pathogens.
