In China, cellulosomes are multi-enzyme complexes known for their efficient lignocellulose degradation, which is valuable in bioenergy technique development. The diverse composition and intricate assembly of cellulosomes give them exceptional substrate degradation capabilities, and deciphering their complex assembly mechanisms can provide a better understanding of their efficiency and promote their applications in bioenergy production.
Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have characterized the structure and assembly mode of a unique cellulosomal assembly module, the double-dockerin module, revealing the intricate complexity and diversity of cellulosome assembly and regulation. The results were published in Protein Science.
