説明

<jats:p>A novel xyloglucan‐specific endo‐β‐1,4‐glucanase (XEG), xyloglucanase, with a molecular mass of 80 kDa and a p<jats:italic>I</jats:italic> of 4.8, was isolated from the fungus <jats:italic>Geotrichum</jats:italic> sp. M128. It was found to be an endoglucanase active toward xyloglucan and not active toward carboxymethylcellulose, Avicel, or barley 1,3‐1,4‐β‐glucan. Analysis of the precise substrate specificity using various xyloglucan oligosaccharide structures revealed that XEG has at least four subsites (−2 to +2) and specifically recognizes xylose branching at the +1 and +2 sites. The full‐length cDNA encoding XEG was cloned and sequenced. It consists of a 2436‐bp open reading frame encoding a 776‐amino acid protein. From its deduced amino acid sequence, XEG can be classified as a family 74 glycosyl hydrolase. The cDNA encoding XEG was then expressed in <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic>, and enzymatically active recombinant XEG was obtained.</jats:p>
