Editorial: Biotechnological Uses of Archaeal Proteins
Pecorari, Frédéric; Arcus, Vickery L.; Wiegel, Juergen (HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORP, 2015-01-01)Many industrial/biotechnological processes take place under extreme conditions of temperature, pH, salinity, or pressure which are not suitable for activities of proteins from model eukaryotic or common neutrophilic, ... -
Enzyme evolution: innovation is easy, optimization is complicated
Newton, Matilda S.; Arcus, Vickery L.; Gerth, Monica L.; Patrick, Wayne M. (Elsevier, 2018)Enzymes have been evolving to catalyze new chemical reactions for billions of years, and will continue to do so for billions more. Here, we review examples in which evolutionary biochemists have used big data and high-throughput ... -
Exploring rumen microbe-derived fibre-degrading activities for improving feed digestibility
Moon, C.D.; Gagic, D.; Ciric, M.; Noel, S.; Summers, Emma Louise; Li, D.; Atua, R.M.; Perry, R.; Sang, C.; Zhang, Y.L.; Schofield, L.R.; Leahy, S.C.; Altermann, E.; Janssen, P.H.; Arcus, Vickery L.; Kelly, W.J.; Waghorn, G.C.; Rakonjac, K.; Attwood, G.T. (2014)Ruminal fibre degradation is mediated by a complex community of rumen microbes, and its efficiency is crucial for optimal dairy productivity. Enzymes produced by rumen microbes are primarily responsible for degrading the ... -
Expression and purification of an adenylation domain from a eukaryotic nonribosomal peptide synthetase: Using structural genomics tools for a challenging target
Lee, T. Verne; Lott, J. Shaun; Johnson, Richard D.; Arcus, Vickery L. (Elsevier, 2010)Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are large multimodular and multidomain enzymes that are involved in synthesising an array of molecules that are important in human and animal health. NRPSs are found in both bacteria ... -
Expression, purification and characterisation of GIGANTEA: A circadian clock-controlled regulator of photoperiodic flowering in plants
Black, Moyra M.; Stockum, Christine; Dickson, James M.; Putterill, Joanna; Arcus, Vickery L. (Elsevier, 2010)The Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) GIGANTEA (GI) gene is a central component of the photoperiodic flowering pathway. While it has been 40 years since the first mutant alleles of GI were described much is still unknown ...
