1, 3-1, 4-β-Glucanases (or lichenases, EC 3.2. 1.73) hydrolyse linear β-glucans containing β-
1, 3 and β-1, 4 linkages such as cereal β-glucans and lichenan, with a strict cleavage …

DNA, RNA and proteins have in common a linear arrangement of their building blocks,
deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides and amino acids, in chains. In most cases, this …

We report here the first molecular characterization of an endo-β-1, 3-glucanase from an
archaeon. Pyrococcus furiosus is a hyperthermophilic archaeon that is capable of …

Two genes, xynD and gluB, encoding a xylanase and an endo-beta-(1, 3)-(1, 4)-glucanase
(lichenase) from Bacillus polymyxa have been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and …

A high-isoelectric-point (pI), alkaline endo-1, 4-β-glucanase (Egl-257) of Bacillus circulans
KSM-N257 was purified to homogeneity and crystallized. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed …

Active site residues of 1, 3-1, 4-beta-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2. 1.73) from
Bacillus licheniformis have been identified by site-directed mutagenesis. Previous work …

A Bacillus brevis gene coding for an endo-(1, 3–1, 4)-β-glucanase was cloned in
Escherichia coli and sequenced. The open reading frame contains a sequence of 759 …

The crystal structure of the 1, 3‐1, 4‐β‐d‐glucan 4‐glucanohydrolase from Bacillus
licheniformis is solved at a resolution of 1.8 Å and refined to R= 16.5%. The protein has a …

Summary Hybrid (1-3, 1-4)-β-glucanase genes were constructed by extension of
overlapping segments of the (1-3, 1-4)-β-glucanase genes from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens …

Abstract A novel endo-β-1, 3 (4)-d-glucanase gene was found in the complete genome
sequence of Bacillus halodurans C-125. The gene was previously annotated as an …
