Application

Cellotetraose is a 4-glucose polymer cellulodextrin derived from cellulose degradation. Cellotetraose and other cellulodextrins, such as cellulobiose, cellulotriose and cellopentaose are used by cellulosic bacteria as sources of energy. Cellotetraose is used to help identify, differentiate and characterize oligosaccharide metabolizing enzymes.[1][2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cellotetraose is a substrate for many cellulases and for 1,4-β-D-glucan glucohydrolases. It is also the end product of some cellulases, such as Cel9R from Clostridium thermocellum.

The wood decay basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium produces a variety of cellobiohydrolases belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 6 and 7 in the presence of cellulose. However, no inducer of the production of these enzymes has yet been identified. Here, we

CpMan5B is a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 5 enzyme exhibiting both β-1,4-mannosidic and β-1,4-glucosidic cleavage activities. To provide insight into the amino acid residues that contribute to catalysis and substrate specificity, we solved the structure of CpMan5B at 1.6 Å

Neurospora crassa colonizes burnt grasslands in the wild and metabolizes both cellulose and hemicellulose from plant cell walls. When switched from a favored carbon source such as sucrose to cellulose, N. crassa dramatically upregulates expression and secretion of a wide

The hyperthermophilic endoglucanase Cel5A from Thermotoga maritima can find applications in lignocellulosic biofuel production, because it catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucan- and mannan-based polysaccharides. Here, we report the crystal structures in apo-form and in complex with three ligands, cellotetraose, cellobiose
