PMID: 38622055
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an important structural component of the cell wall chitin, N-glycans, glycolipids, and GPI-anchors in eukaryotes. GlcNAc kinase phosphorylates GlcNAc into GlcNAc-6-phosphate, a precursor of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine...

70(1):39-42.
PMID: 37033115
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO) are key enzymes for the efficient degradation of lignocellulose biomass with cellulases. A lignocellulose-degradative strain, TW1, has LPMO-encoding AA10A gene. Neither the C1/C4-oxidizing selectivity nor the...
