The July 2025 update of CAZy

elodie — 2025-09-29T06:41:53Z

This month, we officialized three novel GH families, GH192, GH193 and GH194, all with chracterized β-1,2-glucanase members in a publication by Nakajima and coworkers.

We also officially release the division into subfamilies of two families GH2, described in (Lebreton et al., 2025), as well as GH57, presented in (Poláček et al. 2025).

The March 2025 update of CAZy

elodie — 2025-05-15T05:56:11Z

The CAZy database introduces CAZac, a new, powerful and searchable descriptor of CAZyme reactions to complement the EC number system. Implemented for glycoside hydrolases, glycoside phosphorylases, transglycosidases, polysaccharide lyases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, CAZac allows complex searches in the CAZy database to uncover the evolution of substrate specificity and mechanisms of CAZymes across families. publication here.

February 2025 update of CAZy

This month is the first 2025 update of CAZy ! We've been delayed by the NCBI taxonomy (which created ghost IDs), and, on our side, we corrected our Krona charts for JGI annotations (many genomes were missing).

We wish you the best for 2025 in Glycosciences and personnally

December 2024

This month, we released one novel GT family, GT138 which rhamnosylate the plant protein RIN4 , following the publication by Peng and coworkers.
We wish you a merry Christmas and restful holidays and as said in South of France bon bout d'an !

This month, no new family, for the first time in a while... If we missed your newly published family, please feel free to contact us by email or using the dedicated form.

September 2024 update of CAZy

vincent lombard — 2024-12-06T16:03:10Z

This month, we officialized one novel Polysaccharide Lyase family, PL44, as well as three novel carbohydrate binding modules families : CBM104, CBM105 and CBM106.
PL44, CBM105 and CBM106 notably arose from the works of Profs Changhu Xue and Yaoguang Chang group (Ocean University of China, Qingdao), who gave an amazing talk in the last CBM15 conference in Ghent (Belgia).

This month, we officialized two novel GT families, GT136 and GT137, both discovered by the Wihtfield lab, which exhibit original/rare activities : α-pentose and α-Kdo transferases.
We also created two additional subfamilies for GH13 family, following a bioinformatics analysis by the Janecek lab (to be published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology).
These subfamilies, GH13_48 and GH13_49, have been characterized some time ago already, but this analysis highlight their conservation pattern and evolutionary relatedness, as well as another group not characterized to date which could become another subfamily in the future.
