Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that the beta-1,4-endoglucanase (EGase) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 45 cloned from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari (Ag-EGase I), is composed of 237 amino acid residues and has a potential N-glycosylation site at 97-100 amino acid residues (NSTF). We here describe the N-glycosylation and its role for enzymatic activity of the Ag-EGase I. The N-glycosylation of...
