A Pair of FAD-Dependent Carbohydrate Oxidases from the Corn Smut Pathogen Ustilago maydis Oxidize Chitosan Oligomers.
It is found that UmAA7s oxidize both chitooligosaccharides and their deacetylated forms (dCHOS) in an acetylation-site-dependent manner, extending the substrate scope of AA7s and laying the biochemical foundation for uncovering their biological functions during plant infection.
