This paper solves the structure of CebE from Streptomyces scabiei bound to cellotriose, revealing its role in pathogenicity and conserved signaling pathways in common scab-causing species.

This study identifies BcpE2 as a highly promiscuous GH3-family beta-glucosidase in Streptomyces scabiei that hydrolyzes diverse plant-derived heterosides, enabling glucose scavenging and virulence modulation.

This study identifies BglC as a β-glucosidase in Streptomyces scabiei that hydrolyzes scopolin, a host defense phytoalexin, and modulates virulence by affecting thaxtomin A production.

This paper identifies virulome molecules and biosynthetic gene clusters in Streptomyces scabiei 87-22 induced by cello-oligosaccharides, revealing new metabolites and regulatory mechanisms.

The paper shows that ferroverdins and bagremycins, two metabolites with different bioactivities, are produced from the same BGC, with their formation depending on iron availability.

This study investigates the role of β-glucosidase BglC in the pathogenic lifestyle of Streptomyces scabies and finds that its inactivation leads to unexpected thaxtomin production patterns.

This paper explores how Streptomyces scabies distinguishes between cello-oligosaccharides from decomposing plant material and those from living plants to trigger virulence.
