Structural Basis of Stereospecificity in the Bacterial Enzymatic Cleavage of β-Aryl Ether Bonds in Lignin*
Lignin is a combinatorial polymer comprising monoaromatic units that are linked via covalent bonds. Although lignin is a potential source of valuable aromatic chemicals, its recalcitrance to chemical or biological digestion presents major obstacles to both the production of second-generation biofuels and the generation of valuable coproducts from lignin's monoaromatic units. Degradation of lign...
متن کاملA Group of Sequence-Related Sphingomonad Enzymes Catalyzes Cleavage of β-Aryl Ether Linkages in Lignin β-Guaiacyl and β-Syringyl Ether Dimers
Lignin biosynthesis occurs via radical coupling of guaiacyl and syringyl hydroxycinnamyl alcohol monomers (i.e., "monolignols") through chemical condensation with the growing lignin polymer. With each chain-extension step, monolignols invariably couple at their β-positions, generating chiral centers. Here, we report on activities of bacterial glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzymes that cleave ...
متن کاملDegradation of lignin β‐aryl ether units in Arabidopsis thaliana expressing LigD, LigF and LigG from Sphingomonas paucimobilis SYK‐6
Lignin is a major polymer in the secondary plant cell wall and composed of hydrophobic interlinked hydroxyphenylpropanoid units. The presence of lignin hampers conversion of plant biomass into biofuels; plants with modified lignin are therefore being investigated for increased digestibility. The bacterium Sphingomonas paucimobilis produces lignin-degrading enzymes including LigD, LigF and LigG ...
متن کاملRestricted Mass Transport Effects on the Pyrolysis Pathways for Lignin Model Compounds. Aryl Ether Linkages
Aryl ethers are important linking units in the structure of lignins and low rank coals that are thermally labile at 375°C. Mass transport limitations experienced in these cross-linked macromolecular solids can lead to alterations in thermochemical processing kinetics and product yields. The molecular level details of these alterations on reaction pathways are revealed through studies of model c...
متن کاملMechanical and biological characteristics of diamond-like carbon coated poly aryl-ether-ether-ketone.
Poly aryl-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is an alternative to metal alloys in orthopedic applications. Although the polymer provides many significant advantages such as excellent mechanical properties and non-toxicity, it suffers from insufficient elasticity and biocompatibility. Since the elastic modulus of diamond-like carbon (DLC) is closer to that of cortical bone than PEEK, the DLC/PEEK combina...
