ENDOGLUCANASE CEL12A FROM RHODOTHERMUS MARINUS
Overview
Cellulose is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in nature and, microorganisms have developed a comprehensive system for enzymatic, breakdown of this ubiquitous carbon source, a subject of much interest in, the biotechnology industry. Rhodothermus marinus produces a, hyperthermostable cellulase, with a temperature optimum of more than 90, degrees C, the structure of which is presented here to 1.8 A resolution., The enzyme has been classified into glycoside hydrolase family 12; this is, the first structure of a thermophilic member of this family to have been, solved. The beta-jelly roll fold observed has identical topology to those, of the two mesophilic members of the family whose structures have been, elucidated previously. A Hepes buffer molecule bound in the active site, may have ... [(full description)]
