[…] A hallmark of the QM6a-v2.0 draft genome is that a third of the 228 CAZyme genes are non-randomly distributed and form several CAZyme gene clusters. Several of the regions of high CAZyme gene density also contain genes encoding proteins involved in secondary metabolism. Accordingly, it has been proposed that gene clustering a […]

[…] The gene families were collected by visual inspection using CIRCOS software [] (http://www.circos.ca). For CAZyme gene clusters, a cluster is defined as a region containing a statistically higher proportion of a particular gene family, and the cluster must begin and end with a gene from the family studied. […]

[…] e hydrolases that contribute to the degradation of lignocelluloses and plant cell walls. Previous transcriptomic studies also indicated that adjacent or nearly adjacent genes were coexpressed in four CAZyme gene clusters located in scaffolds 1, 6, 28, and 29 []. Notably, the CAZyme gene cluster in scaffold 28 is located at the D segment (Additional file : Table S2), including an endo-β-1,4-xylanas […]

[…] -chains in hemicelluloses. The reduction of expression of various glycosidase genes was also reflected in the decreased ability to grow on several of their di- or oligosaccharide substrates ().The 25 CAZyme gene clusters in the T. reesei genome contain an average fivefold increase in CAZyme gene density compared with the expected density for randomly distributed genes (). In total, 126 of the appr […]
