Native Rhodothermus marinus Laminarinase/Lichenase

inquiry

Cat No.

NATE-0376

Description

β-glucanases degrade β-1,4-glucans of cellulose, xyloglucan and β-1,4-xylan. β-Glucanase represents a group of carbohydrate enzymes which break down glycosidic bonds within beta-glucan. It forms the main constituent of fungal cell walls and could be a potential structural and storage polysaccharide of marine macro-algae. It has the ability to degrade fungal cell walls and may be involved in defense mechanism of plants against pathogenic fungi.

Structure

The crystal structure of Laminarinase from Rhodothermus marinus (96% sequence identity with Bglu110 Laminarinase/Lichenase) has been determined to 1.9 Å resolution. – PDB entry 3ILN

Specificity

The molecule laminarin (also known as laminaran) is a storage glucan produced in brown algae through photosynthesis. The polysaccharide is made up of glucose residues withβ-1,3-linkages and β-1,6-linkages. It is a linear polysaccharide, with a β (1→3):β (1→6) ratio typically 3:1 but the ratio may vary with the source of the polysaccharide. Lichenin, also known as lichenan or moss starch, is a complex glucan occurring in certain species of lichensandconsists of repeating glucose units linked by β-1,3 and β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. It can be extracted from Cetraria islandica (Iceland moss). Scleroglucan, is formed by the fungus Sclerotium rolfsii. A chemically analogous polysaccharide, Schizophyllan (Sizofiran, Sonifilan, SPG) is a neutral extracellular polysaccharide produced by the fungus Schizophyllum commune. Schizophyllan is a β-1,3 beta-glucan with β-1,6 branching. Both polysaccharides share the chemical structure of the backbone with curdlan.
