Abstract excerpt
The endoglucanase (BSC) from Bacillus subtilis IFO 3034, which shows no ability to hydrolyze microcrystalline cellulose, was found to bind to Avicel. Ninety-eight amino acids-truncation at the COOH-terminus of BSC did not abolish the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-hydrolyzing ability, but removed the Avicel-binding ability. These data suggested the presence of an Avicel-binding domain at the COOH-terminus of BSC,...
