Crystal structure and substrate-binding mode of cellulase 12A from Thermotoga maritima.

Proteins 79(4) , 1193-204, (2011)

Cellulases have been used in many applications to treat various carbohydrate-containing materials. Thermotoga maritima cellulase 12A (TmCel12A) belongs to the GH12 family of glycoside hydrolases. It is a β-1,4-endoglucanase that degrades cellulose molecules i...

High-level expression of a novel Penicillium endo-1,3(4)-β-D-glucanase with high specific activity in Pichia pastoris.

J. Ind. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 39(6) , 869-76, (2012)

A novel endo-1,3(4)-β-D-glucanase gene (bgl16C1) from Penicillium pinophilum C1 was cloned and sequenced. The 945-bp full-length gene encoded a 315-residue polypeptide consisting of a putative signal peptide of 18 residues and a catalytic domain belonging to ...

The Structure of Plant Cell Walls: II. The Hemicellulose of the Walls of Suspension-cultured Sycamore Cells.

Plant Physiol. 51 , 174-87, (1973)

The molecular structure, chemical properties, and biological function of the xyloglucan polysaccharide isolated from cell walls of suspension-cultured sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) cells are described. The sycamore wall xyloglucan is compared to the extracel...

Xylanase activity of an endo-cellulase of carboxymethyl-cellulase type from Irpex lacteus (Polyporus tulipiferae).

J. Biochem. 79 , 989-995, (1976)

An endo-cellulase [EC 3.2.1.4.] of carboxymethyl-cellulase type (F-1) which was fractionated from culture filtrate of Irpex lacetus and purified to electrophoretic and ultracentrifugal homogeneity, was found to show xylanase [EC 3.2.1.8.] activity. The activi...

Beta-D-1, 3 Glucanases in fungi.

Can. J. Microbiol. 5(2) , 173-85, (1959)

Cuckoo fungus mimics termite eggs by producing the cellulose-digesting enzyme beta-glucosidase.

Curr. Biol. 19 , 30-6, (2009)

Insects and fungi share a long history of association in various habitats, including the wood-decomposition niche. Fungal mimicry of termite eggs is one of the most striking evolutionary consequences of insect-fungus association. Termites of the genus Reticul...

1,3-β-Glucanase from Vigna aconitifolia and its possible use in enzyme bioreactor fabrication.

Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 49(5) , 894-9, (2011)

Endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) from Vigna aconitifolia sprouts was purified to 14.5 fold by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The enzyme was found to be a glycoprotein, its activity was Ca(2+) dependent and specific for β-1,3 linkages in d...

Catalytic efficiency diversification of duplicate β-1,3-1,4-glucanases from Neocallimastix patriciarum J11.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 78(12) , 4294-300, (2012)

Four types of β-1,3-1,4 glucanase (β-glucanase, EC 3.2.1.73) genes, designated bglA13, bglA16, bglA51, and bglM2, were found in the cDNA library of Neocallimastix patriciarum J11. All were highly homologous with each other and demonstrated a close phylogeneti...

Construction and characterization of a fusion β-1,3-1,4-glucanase to improve hydrolytic activity and thermostability.

Biotechnol. Lett. 33(11) , 2193-9, (2011)

A new fusion gene (Bgl-licMB), encoding β-1,3-1,4-glucanase both from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Bgl) and Clostridium thermocellum (licMB), was constructed via end-to-end fusion and expressed in Escherichia coli to improve hydrolytic activity and thermostabi...

Engineering a thermostable β-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Paecilomyces thermophila to improve catalytic efficiency at acidic pH.

J. Biotechnol. 159(1-2) , 50-5, (2012)

To fulfill the need for acid-tolerant and thermostable β-1,3-1,4-glucanases, an error-prone PCR and DNA-shuffling approach was employed to enhance the activity of thermostable β-1,3-1,4-glucanases from Paecilomyces thermophila (PtLic16A) at acidic pH. Mutant ...
