Profile
Name: PbCBM56
Gene length: 333 bp
Source: Paenibacillus barengoltzii (6A6C)
Properties:
CBM56 belongs to the carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) family 6. It is an affinity protein for β-1,3-glucan by binding to its non-reducing end, which is a main component of the fungal cell wall [1].
Usage and Biology
CBM56 family proteins are a special class of carbohydrate-binding modules that play an important role in the recognition and hydrolysis of polysaccharides. A study explored the structure and function of BH0236, a multi-module β-1,3-glucanase, which contains a C-terminal module of the CBM56 family. This module binds to soluble β-1,3-glucan laminarin and has a higher affinity for insoluble β-1,3-glucan [2-3].
The role of CBM in polysaccharide recognition, although not specific to CBM56, provides insight into the general application and importance of the CBM family in polysaccharide degradation [2-3]. We used the CBM56 protein to specifically bind to the β-1,3-glucan of the fungal cell wall. This allows the attachment of a probe to the fungal cell wall, and the fungal morphology can be observed through mcherry (Figure 1).
Cultivation, Purification, and SDS-PAGE
Both gene sequences were amplified by PCR, confirmed by bands of approximately 300 bp and 500 bp on the electrophoretic gel. The gene length of CBM56 was 333 bp, indicating successful amplification of the target band. Figure 2 shows that the plasmid was successfully linearized.
Figure 3 shows the purified protein. The bands corresponding to CBM56-mcherry proteins, ranging from 34 kD to 43 kD, are notably intense, confirming successful expression in the supernatant.
