A novel endoglucanase from Trichoderma reesei, EGIII, has been purified and its catalytic properties have been studied. The gene for that enzyme (egl3) and cDNA have been cloned and sequenced. The deduced EGIII protein shows clear sequence homology to a Schizophyllum commune enzyme (M. Yaguchi, personal communication), but is very different from the three other T. reesei cellulases with known structure. Nevertheless, all the four T. reesei cellulases share two common, adjacent sequence domains, which apparently can be removed by proteolysis. These homologous sequences reside at the N termini of EGIII and the cellobiohydrolase CBHII, but at the C termini of EGI and CBHI. Comparison of the fungal cellulase structures has led to re-evaluation of hypotheses concerning the localization of the active sites.

D003904 Mitosporic Fungi A large and heterogenous group of fungi whose common characteristic is the absence of a sexual state. Many of the pathogenic fungi in humans belong to this group.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
