      Athanasiadou, Spiridoula; Almvik, Marit; Hellström, Jarkko; Madland, Eva; Simic, Nebojsa; Steinshamn, Håvard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-04)
      Helminth parasitic infections are common in small ruminants in Norway; infection is usually treated with anthelmintic drugs, but anthelmintic resistance is an increasing problem. It is necessary to identify strategies to reduce the use of anthelmintic drugs and mitigate the impact of anthelmintic resistance. Condensed tannin (CT)-rich forages have been shown to reduce the helminth burden in small ...
    • Class IV lasso peptides synergistically induce proliferation of cancer cells and sensitize them to doxorubicin

      Heterologous expression of a biosynthesis gene cluster from <i>Amycolatopsis</i> sp. resulted in the discovery of two unique class IV lasso peptides, felipeptins A1 and A2. A mixture of felipeptins stimulated proliferation of cancer cells, while having no such effect on the normal cells. Detailed investigation revealed, that pre-treatment of cancer cells with a mixture of felipeptins resulted in ...
    • Structural and functional variation of chitin-binding domains of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from Cellvibrio japonicus 

      Madland, Eva; Forsberg, Zarah; Wang, Yong; Lindorff-Larsen, Kresten; Niebisch, Axel; Modregger, Jan; Eijsink, Vincent; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Courtade, Gaston (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-17)
      Among the extensive repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have a key role in recalcitrant biomass degradation. LPMOs are copper-dependent enzymes that catalyze oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin. Several LPMOs contain carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) that are known to promote LPMO efficiency. ...
