14 February 2020: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. The human gut bacterium Roseburia intestinalis provides a curator approved Carbohydrate Binding Module Family 86 page as a special Valentine Day's gift. CBM86 members are structurally located at the N-termini of GH10 xylanase polypeptides. Roseburia intestinalis certainly enjoys the sugary xylans it encounters in the dietary tract as a carbon source and likely uses the CBM86 modules to enhance xylan capture through improved xylan affinity for the xylanase enzymes. The CBM86 page was written in record time by Maria Louise Leth with Maher Abou Hachem acting as responsible curator. Read more on the 'rosy' xylan-binding CBM86 family here.
