- W4241736718 abstract "Abstract Cellulases are a complex group of enzymes that are fundamental for the degradation of amorphous and crystalline cellulose in lignocellulosic material. Unfortunately, cellulases have a low catalytic efficiency on their substrates when compared to similar enzymes such as amylases, which has led to a strong interest in improving their activities. Thermobifida fusca secretes six cellulose degrading enzymes: two exo- and three endocellulases and an endo/exocellulase Ce19A (formerly called E4). Ce19A shows unique properties because of its endo- and exocellulase characteristics, strong activity on crystalline cellulose, and good synergistic properties. Therefore, it is an excellent target for mutagenesis techniques to improve crystalline cellulose degradation. In this article, we describe research conducted to improve Ce19A catalytic efficiency using a rational design and computer modeling. A cornputer model of Ce19A was created using the program CHARMM plus its PDB structure and a cellohexose molecule attached to the catalytic site as a starting model. Initially molecular graphics and energy minimization were used to extend the cellulose chain to 18 glucose residues spanning the catalytic domain and cellulose-binding domain (CBD). The interaction between this cellulose chain and conserved CBD residues was determined in the model, and mutations likely to improve the binding properties of the CBD were selected. Site-directed mutations were carried out using the pET vector pET26b, Escherichia coli DH5-α, and the QuickChange mutagenesis method. E. coli BL21-DE3 was used for protein production and expression. The purfied proteins were assayed for enzymatic activity on filter paper, swollen cellulose, bacterial microcrystalline cellulose, and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Mutation of the conserved residue F476 to Y476 gave a 40% improved activity in assays with soluble and amorphous cellulose such as CMC and swollen cellulose." @default.
