Studies on the cellulose-binding domains adsorption to cellulose.

Cellulose-binding domains (CBD) are modular peptides, present in many glycanases, which anchor these enzymes to the substrate. In this work, the effect of CBD adsorption on the surface properties of a model cellulose, Whatman CF11, was studied. The methods applied include inverse gas chromatography (IGC), ESCA, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The CBD partition affinit...

Cellulose-binding domains: cellulose associated-defensive sensing partners?

The cellulose-binding domains (CBDs) in the Phytophthora cellulose-binding elicitor lectin (CBEL) are potent elicitors of plant defence responses. Induction of defence has also been reported in various cellulose-deficient mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana. Based on these observations, we propose a model linking cellulose alteration to defence induction. This integrates the fast increase in cytoso...

Evidence that linker sequences and cellulose-binding domains enhance the activity of hemicellulases against complex substrates.

Xylanase A (XYLA) and arabinofuranosidase C (XYLC) from Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa are modular enzymes consisting of discrete cellulose-binding domains (CBDs) and catalytic domains joined by serine-rich linker sequences. To evaluate the role of the CBDs and interdomain regions, the capacity of full-length and truncated derivatives of the two enzymes, lacking either the linker sequ...
