Application

β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from is used to digest β -1,3-glucan, which is a major component of cell walls. β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from Helix pomatia has been used fto digest the cell walls of C. albicans .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Deletion of the C.albicans histidine kinase gene (CHK1) improves recognition by phagocytes through an increased exposure of cell wall b-1,3-glucans, which are readily digested by β-(1→3)-D-Glucanases .

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Unit Definition

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol of glucose from laminarin (Cat. No. 61340) per minute at pH 5.0 and 37 °C

Lyticase (a bacterial enzyme) was tested as a new antimycotic drug. Of all objects studied, Cellulomonas cellulans AC-870 strain proved to be most productive for this enzyme. A technology for lyticase isolation and purification was proposed. An experimental model of

Cell wall biogenesis is a dynamic process relying on the coordinated activity of several extracellular enzymes. PHR1 is a pH-regulated gene of Candida albicans encoding a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored β(1,3)-glucanosyltransferase of family GH72 which acts as a cell wall remodelling enzyme and

The Rab GTPase-activating proteins (GAP) Gyp5p and Gyl1p are involved in the control of polarized exocytosis at the small-bud stage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both Gyp5p and Gyl1p interact with the N-Bin1/Amphiphysin/Rvs167 (BAR) domain protein Rvs167p, but the biological function of

1,3-β-Glucan depolymerizing enzymes have considerable biotechnological applications including biofuel production, feedstock-chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Here we describe a comprehensive functional characterization and low-resolution structure of a hyperthermophilic laminarinase from Thermotoga petrophila (TpLam). We determine TpLam enzymatic mode of operation, which specifically

The formation of the cell wall in Schizosaccharomyces pombe requires the coordinated activity of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and modification of β-glucans. The β(1,3)-glucan synthase complex synthesizes linear β(1,3)-glucans, which remain unorganized until they are cross-linked to other β(1,3)-glucans
