Newest firstFilamentous fungi use various enzymes to degrade cellulose, some of which contain cellulose-binding domains (CBDs), most of which belong to carbohydrate-binding module family 1 (CBM1). We recently identified the novel fungal CBD, CBM104, from Gloeophyllum trabeum. Reportedly, CBM104 specifically binds to native crystalline cellulose, not to amorphous or artificially modified crystalline cellulose, exhibiting a uni…
Open article record in new tab ↗The increasing antibiotic resistance among bacteria challenges the biotech industry to search for new antibacterial molecules. Endolysin TP84_28 is a thermostable, lytic enzyme, encoded by the bacteriophage (phage) TP-84, and it effectively digests host bacteria cell wall. Biofilms, together with antibiotic resistance, are major problems in clinical medicine and industry. The challenge is to keep antibacterial mol…
Open article record in new tab ↗Escherichia coli-derived glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glutamic acid to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), was fused to the cellulose-binding domain (CBD) and a linker of Trichoderma harzianum endoglucanase II. To prevent proteolysis of the fusion protein, the native linker was replaced with a S(3)N(10) peptide known to be completely resistant to E. coli endopeptidase. The…
