Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a novel alkali-tolerant thermostable DyP-type peroxidase from Saccharomonospora viridis DSM 43017 in biobleaching of eucalyptus kraft pulp.
Wangning Yu,Weina Liu,Huoqing Huang,Fei Zheng,Xiaoyu Wang,Yuying Wu,Kangjia Li,Xiangming Xie,Yi Jin +8 more
TL;DR: The recombinant protein SviDyP could efficiently decolorize several triarylmethane dyes, anthraquinonic and azo dyes under neutral to alkaline conditions and showed broad pH adaptability and alkali-tolerance, making it a promising enzyme for use in the pulp and paper industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
A thermostable Gloeophyllum trabeum xylanase with potential for the brewing industry
Xiaoyu Wang,Huiying Luo,Wangning Yu,Rui Ma,Shuai You,Weina Liu,Lingyu Hou,Fei Zheng,Xiangming Xie,Bin Yao +9 more
TL;DR: A xylanase gene of glycoside hydrolase family 10, GtXyn10, was cloned from Gloeophyllum trabeum CBS 900.73 and expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 and found to be resistant to pepsin and trypsin, most metal ions and SDS, and attractive for potential applications in the feed and brewing industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermostability improvement of a Talaromyces leycettanus xylanase by rational protein engineering.
Xiaoyu Wang,Rui Ma,Xiangming Xie,Weina Liu,Tu Tao,Fei Zheng,Shuai You,Ge Jianzhong,Huifang Xie,Bin Yao,Huiying Luo +10 more
TL;DR: This study verifies the efficiency of rational approach in thermostability improvement and provides a xylanase candidate of GH11 with great commercialization potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of miRNAs and Their Targets during Adventitious Shoot Organogenesis of Acacia crassicarpa
Weina Liu,Wangning Yu,Lingyu Hou,Xiaoyu Wang,Fei Zheng,Weixuan Wang,Di Liang,Hailun Yang,Yi Jin,Xiangming Xie +9 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to investigate miRNAs associated with A. crassicarpa organogenesis by qRT-PCR, and provides a foundation for further characterization of miRNA expression profiles and roles in the regulation of diverse physiological pathways during adventitious shoot organogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight into the Thermophilic Mechanism of a Glycoside Hydrolase Family 5 β-Mannanase.
Weina Liu,Tu Tao,Gu Yuan,Wang Yuan,Fei Zheng,Jie Zheng,Yaru Wang,Su Xiaoyun,Bin Yao,Huiying Luo +9 more
TL;DR: Improved hydrophobic interactions in the inner wall of the β-barrel and the rigidity of loop 8 were caused by the outside domain of the barrel bottom and proline, respectively, and four specific residues responsible for the thermostability of GH5 β-mannanases were elucidated.
