Both the enzymes increased the fluidity of solutions and have been classified as endo enzymes, or more corectly as endo-β-l, 4 glucanhydrolase (EC 3.2.1.4). Clostridium thermocellum excretes β-glucosidases that metabolize cellobiose. The degradation of crystalline cellulose by a cellulase ...
also showed decreased activity. The WT formed a trimer, while the N-terminal truncations formed monomers, indicating that the N-terminus contributed to the multimeric form of VvGH17. The results of this study are useful for understanding the structure and the function of GH17 β-1,3-...
The membrane-integrated synthase FKS is involved in the biosynthesis of β-1,3-glucan, the core component of the fungal cell wall1,2. FKS is the target of widely prescribed antifungal drugs, including echinocandin and ibrexafungerp3,4. Unfortunately, the mechanism of action of FKS remains eni...
A very good example of beta-glucan catabolic enzymes is the Family 3 ofglycosyl hydrolases(GH3), which consists of nearly 44 beta-glucosidases andhexosaminidasesfrom bacteria, molds, and yeasts. Most of the fungal beta-glucosidases studied belong to GH3. Structural data on representatives of GH3...
indica. No barley endo-1,3-b-glucosidases were detected at 5 dpi. Among the most prevalent plant proteins present at 10 and 14 dpi we could detect two and four barley endo-1,3-b-glucosidases, respectively (Supplementary Table 1). This correlates with the expression pattern of FGB1 ...
