AN ENZYME WITH ENDOGLUCANASE ACTIVITY

摘要

An enzyme exhibiting endoglucanase activity, which enzyme is encoded by a DNA sequence comprising at least one of the following partial sequences: (a) ATTCATTTGTG GACAGTGGAC, (b) GTTGATCGCA CATTGAACCA, (c) ACCCCAGCCG ACCGATTGTC, (d) CTTCCTTACC TCACCATCAT, (e) TTAACATCTT TTCACCATGA, (f) AGCTTTCCCT TCTCTCCCTT, (g) GCCACCCTGG CTTCCGCTGC CAGCCTCC, (h) GACAGTAGCA ATCCAGCATT, (i) AGCATCAGCC GCTTTGTACA, (j) CCATGAAGTT CACCGTATTG, (k) GCACTGCTTC TCTCCCAGGT, (l) GTGGGCGGCC CCTCAGGCAA, (m) ACGCTCCTCC AATTTTCTCT, (n) GGCTTGGTAG TAATGAGTCT, (o) GGCGCAGAGT TTGGCCAGGC, (p) CAACATCCCC GGTGTTCTGGG. The enzyme may be produced by recombinant DNA techniques and may be used for degradation of plant cell wall material.
