    • Features and structure of a cold active N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase 

      Gurung, Man Kumari; Altermark, Bjørn; Helland, Ronny; Smalås, Arne O.; Ræder, Inger Lin Uttakleiv (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-11)
      N-acetylneuraminate lyases (NALs) are enzymes that catalyze the reversible cleavage and synthesis of sialic acids. They are therefore commonly used for the production of these high-value sugars. This study presents the recombinant production, together with biochemical and structural data, of the NAL from the psychrophilic bacterium Aliivibrio salmonicida LFI1238 (AsNAL). Our characterization shows ...

    • High quality draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain AW19M42 isolated from a sea squirt in Northern Norway 

      Bjerga, Gro Elin Kjæreng; Hjerde, Erik; De Santi, Concetta; Williamson, Adele Kim; Smalås, Arne O.; Willassen, Nils Peder; Altermark, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)

    • Isolation and complete genome sequence of the thermophilic Geobacillus sp. 12AMOR1 from an Arctic deep-sea hydrothermal vent site 

      Wissuwa, Juliane; Stokke, Runar; Fedøy, Anita-Elin; Lian, Kjersti; Smalås, Arne O.; Steen, Ida Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-24)
      Members of the genus Geobacillus have been isolated from a wide variety of habitats worldwide and are the subject for targeted enzyme utilization in various industrial applications. Here we report the isolation and complete genome sequence of the thermophilic starch-degrading Geobacillus sp. 12AMOR1. The strain 12AMOR1 was isolated from deep-sea hot sediment at the Jan Mayen hydrothermal Vent ...

    • Presence of acyl-homoserine lactones in 57 members of the Vibrionaceae family 

      Purohit, Amit Anand; Johansen, Jostein a; Hansen, Hilde; Leiros, Hanna-Kirsti S.; Kashulin, Alexander; Karlsen, Christian; Smalås, Arne O.; Haugen, Peik; Willassen, Nils Peder (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-31)
      Aims: The aim of this study was to use a sensitive method to screen and quantify 57 Vibrionaceae strains for the production of acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) and map the resulting AHL profiles onto a host phylogeny.<p> <p>Methods and Results: We used a high-performance liquid chromatography– tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) protocol to measure AHLs in spent media after bacterial growth. ...

    • Structural and biophysical analysis of interactions between cod and human uracil-DNA N-glycosylase (UNG) and UNG inhibitor (Ugi) 

      Assefa, Netsanet Gizaw; Niiranen, Laila; Johnson, Kenneth; Leiros, Hanna-Kirsti S.; Smalås, Arne O.; Willassen, Nils Peder; Moe, Elin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-07-25)
      Uracil-DNA N-glycosylase from Atlantic cod (cUNG) shows cold-adapted features such as high catalytic efficiency, a low temperature optimum for activity and reduced thermal stability compared with its mesophilic homologue human UNG (hUNG). In order to understand the role of the enzyme–substrate interaction related to the cold-adapted properties, the structure of cUNG in complex with a bacteriophage ...

    • Structure and function of a CE4 deacetylase isolated from a marine environment 

      Tuveng, Tina Rise; Rothweiler, Ulli; Udatha, D.B.R.K. Gupta; Vaaje-Kolstad, Gustav; Smalås, Arne O.; Eijsink, Vincent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-06)
      Chitin, a polymer of β(1–4)-linked N-acetylglucosamine found in e.g. arthropods, is a valuable resource that may be used to produce chitosan and chitooligosaccharides, two compounds with considerable industrial and biomedical potential. Deacetylating enzymes may be used to tailor the properties of chitin and its derived products. Here, we describe a novel CE4 enzyme originating from a marine ...
