CelD Mutated Cellulase



Clostridium thermocellum endoglucanase CelD was chosen as a representative member for detailed structural and functional studies of family E cellulases. Family E includes, beside C. thermocellum CelD, a number of cellulases of bacterial, fungal, and plant origin.

The corresponding gene, celD, has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the enzyme is easily purified in large amounts from cytoplasmic inclusion bodies.

This specific cellulase sequence is the result of an investigation regarding activity, several mutations directed at the carboxilic residues (aspartate, glutamate), which are involved in the catalytic mechanism of celD, finally obtaining a celD with a 224% specific activity caused by the mutation Asp-523 ---> Ala on the peptide sequence.
