A gut-specific chitinase from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae): cDNA cloning, gene structure, expression and enzymatic activity
A gut-specific chitinase gene was cloned from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari. The A. germari chitinase (AgChi) gene spans 2894 bp and consists of five introns and six exons coding for 390 amino acid residues. AgChi possesses the chitinase family 18 active site signature and three N-glycosylation sites. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA suggests that AgChi is a single copy ge...
متن کاملConserved Cys residue influences catalytic properties of potato endo-(13)-β-glucanase GLUB20-2
The synthesis and degradation of (13)-β-glycosidic bonds between glucose moieties are essential metabolic processes in plant cell architecture and function. We have found that a unique, conserved cysteine residue, positioned outside the catalytic centre of potato endo-(13)-β-glucanase — product of the gluB20-2 gene, participates in determining the substrate specificity of the enzyme. The same...
متن کاملCrystal structure of endo-1,4-β-glucanase from Eisenia fetida
The saccharification process is essential for bioethanol production from woody biomass including celluloses. Cold-adapted cellulase, which has sufficient activity at low temperature (<293 K), is capable of reducing heating costs during the saccharification process and is suitable for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. Endo-1,4-β-glucanase from the earthworm Eisenia fetida (EF-EG2) ...
متن کاملA novel automatable enzyme-coupled colorimetric assay for endo-1,4-β-glucanase (cellulase)
endo-1,4-β-Glucanase (endo-cellulase, EC 3.2.1.4) is one of the most widely used enzymes in industry. Despite its importance, improved methods for the rapid, selective, quantitative assay of this enzyme have been slow to emerge. In 2014, a novel enzyme-coupled assay that addressed many of the limitations of the existing assay methodology was reported. This involved the use of a bifunctional sub...
متن کاملJH biosynthesis by reproductive tissues and corpora allata in adult longhorned beetles, Apriona germari.
We report on juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis from long-chain intermediates by specific reproductive tissues and the corpora allata (CA) prepared from adult longhorned beetles, Apriona germari. The testes, male accessory glands (MAGs), ovaries, and CA contained the long-chain intermediates in the JH biosynthetic pathway, farnesoic acid (FA), methyl farnesoate (MF), and JH III. The testes and ...
