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).
addition : 6 février 2025.
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 !

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.
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.

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).
