Part:BBa_K118022
cex coding sequence encoding Cellulomonas fimi exoglucanase
The cellulolytic bacterium Cellulomonas fimi uses an exoglucanase (from cex, accession M15824) along with 3 endoglucanases in the degradation of cellulose into cellobiose, before use B-glucosidase to catalyse the conversion of cellobiose to D-glucose.

Molecular weight
This gene codes for a protein of 485 amino acids with a molecular mass of 51.2 kDa.
Enzyme digestion
We did a codon optimization of this part before using it. And we verified it by enzyme digestion.
Filter paper assay
We constructed a plasmid containing cenA gene BBa_K118023, cex gene BBa_K118022. We transformed this plasmid into BL21(DE3). We used an intracellular fraction (crude enzyme solution) obtained by ultrasonication to carry out an experiment for measuring total enzyme activities by the method of filter paper assay.The result is shown on Fig. 2[1].References

- Summary: Enzyme activity assay (CMC-Na as substrate)
Characterization from iGEM19_CAU_China
We linke the cex gene BBa_K118022 into a pET30a(+) backbone, then transforme this plasmid into BL21. After the overnight (about 15h) induction under the condition of 16℃ 0.08 mM, we smash the recombinant E.coli strain with the ultrasonication to get crude enzyme solution, then we measured the enzyme activity by the method of CMC-Na(sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) assey. The result is shown on Fig.3[1].
