Analysis of glycoside hydrolases from oat (Avena sativa) seedling extract.

ABSTRACT: The abundance and the diversity of oligo- and polysaccharides provide a wide range of biological roles attributed either to these carbohydrates or to their relevant enzymes, i.e., the glycoside hydrolases (GHs). The biocatalysis by these families of enzymes is highly attractive for the generation of products used in potential applications, e.g., pharmaceuticals and food industries. It is thus very important to extract and characterize such enzymes, particularly from plant tissues. In this study, we characterized novel sequences of class I chitinases from seedlings extract of the common oat (Avena sativa L.) using proteomics and sequence-structure-function analysis. These enzymes, which belong to the GH19 family of protein, were extracted from oat and identified using SDS-PAGE, trypsin dige
