Abstract

The N-terminal amino acid sequence of an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase from the cellulase complex of the white-rot fungus Schizophyllum commune has been determined. The sequence from Glu-33 to Tyr-51 was homologous with the active site sequences of various hen egg-white type lysozymes, including lysozyme catalytic residues (Glu-35, Asp-52) and substrate binding residue Asn-44. The homology offers evidence for a lysozyme-type mechanism in enzymic hydrolysis of cellulose.
