Abstract
Cellobiohydrolases (CBHs) in the glycoside hydrolase family 7 (GH7) (EC3.2.1.176) are the major cellulose degrading enzymes both in industrial settings and in the context of carbon cycling in nature. Small carbohydrate conjugates such as p-nitrophenyl-β-d-cellobioside (pNPC), p-nitrophenyl-β-d-lactoside (pNPL) and methylumbelliferyl-β-d-cellobioside have commonly been used in colorimetric and fluorometric assays for analysing activity of these enzymes. Despite the similar nature of these compounds the kinetics of their enzymatic hydrolysis vary greatly between the different compounds as well as among different enzymes within the GH7 family. Through enzyme kinetics, crystallographic structure determination, molecular dynamics simulations, and fluorometric binding studies using the closely related compound o-nitrophenyl-β-d-cellobioside (oNPC), in this work we examine the different hydrolysis characteristics of these compounds on two model enzymes of this class, TrCel7A from Trichoderma reesei and PcCel7D from Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Protein crystal structures of the E212Q mutant of TrCel7A with pNPC and pNPL, and the wildtype TrCel7A with oNPC, reveal that non-productive binding at the product site is the dominating binding mode for these compounds. Enzyme kinetics results suggest the strength of non-productive binding is a key determinant for the activity characteristics on these substrates, with PcCel7D consistently showing higher turnover rates (kcat ) than TrCel7A, but higher Michaelis-Menten (KM ) constants as well. Furthermore, oNPC turned out to be useful as an active-site probe for fluorometric determination of the dissociation constant for cellobiose on TrCel7A but could not be utilized for the same purpose on PcCel7D, likely due to strong binding to an unknown site outside the active site.

Abstract
Enzymatic conversion of the most abundant renewable source of organic compounds, cellulose to fermentable sugars is attractive for production of green fuels and chemicals. The major component of industrial enzyme systems, cellobiohydrolase I from Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma reesei) (HjCel7A) processively splits disaccharide units from the reducing ends of tightly packed cellulose chains. HjCel7A consists of a catalytic domain (CD) and a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) separated by a linker peptide. A tunnel-shaped substrate-binding site in the CD includes nine subsites for β-d-glucose units, seven of which (-7 to -1) precede the catalytic center. Low catalytic activity of Cel7A is the bottleneck and the primary target for improvement. Here it is shown for the first time that, in spite of much lower apparent kcat of HjCel7A at the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glucosidic linkages in the fluorogenic cellotetra- and -pentaose compared to the structurally related endoglucanase I (HjCel7B), the specificity constants (catalytic efficiency) kcat /Km for both enzymes are almost equal in these reactions. The observed activity difference appears from strong nonproductive substrate binding by HjCel7A, particularly significant for MU-β-cellotetraose (MUG4 ). Interaction of substrates with the subsites -6 and -5 proximal to the nonconserved Gln101 residue in HjCel7A decreases Km,ap by >1500 times. HjCel7A can be nonproductively bound onto cellulose surface with Kd ≈2-9 nM via CBM and CD that captures six terminal glucose units of cellulose chain. Decomposition of this nonproductive complex can determine the rate of cellulose conversion. MUG4 is a promising substrate to select active cellobiohydrolase I variants with reduced nonproductive substrate binding.

Abstract
Enzymes active at low temperature are of great interest for industrial bioprocesses due to their high efficiency at a low energy cost. One of the particularities of naturally evolved cold-active enzymes is their increased enzymatic activity at low temperature, however the low thermostability presented in this type of enzymes is still a major drawback for their application in biocatalysis. Directed evolution of cold-adapted enzymes to a more thermostable version, appears as an attractive strategy to fulfill the stability and activity requirements for the industry. This paper describes the recombinant expression and characterization of a new and highly active cold-adapted xylanase from the GH-family 10 (Xyl-L), and the use of a novel one step combined directed evolution technique that comprises saturation mutagenesis and focused epPCR as a feasible semi-rational strategy to improve the thermostability. The Xyl-L enzyme was cloned from a marine-Antarctic bacterium, Psychrobacter sp. strain 2-17, recombinantly expressed in E. coli strain BL21(DE3) and characterized enzymatically. Molecular dynamic simulations using a homology model of the catalytic domain of Xyl-L were performed to detect flexible regions and residues, which are considered to be the possible structural elements that define the thermolability of this enzyme. Mutagenic libraries were designed in order to stabilize the protein introducing mutations in some of the flexible regions and residues identified. Twelve positive mutant clones were found to improve the T5015 value of the enzyme, in some cases without affecting the activity at 25°C. The best mutant showed a 4.3°C increase in its T5015. The efficiency of the directed evolution approach can also be expected to work in the protein engineering of stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Microbial cellulases have been receiving worldwide attention, as they have enormous potential to process the most abundant cellulosic biomass on this planet and transform it into sustainable biofuels and other value added products. The synergistic action of endoglucanases, exoglucanases, and β-glucosidases is required for the depolymerization of cellulose to fermentable sugars for transformation in to useful products using suitable microorganisms. The lack of a better understanding of the mechanisms of individual cellulases and their synergistic actions is the major hurdles yet to be overcome for large-scale commercial applications of cellulases. We have reviewed various microbial cellulases with a focus on their classification with mechanistic aspects of cellulase hydrolytic action, insights into novel approaches for determining cellulase activity, and potential industrial applications of cellulases.

Abstract
In nature, polysaccharide glycosidic bonds are cleaved by hydrolytic enzymes for a vast array of biological functions. Recently, a new class of enzymes that utilize an oxidative mechanism to cleave glycosidic linkages was discovered; these enzymes are called lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO). These oxidative enzymes are synergistic with cocktails of hydrolytic enzymes and are thought to act primarily on crystalline regions, in turn providing new sites of productive attachment and detachment for processive hydrolytic enzymes. In the case of cellulose, the homopolymer of β-1,4-d-glucose, enzymatic oxidation occurs at either the reducing end or the nonreducing end of glucose, depending on enzymatic specificity, and results in the generation of oxidized chemical substituents at polymer chain ends. LPMO oxidation of cellulose is thought to produce either a lactone at the reducing end of glucose that can spontaneously or enzymatically convert to aldonic acid or 4-keto-aldose at the nonreducing end that may further oxidize to a geminal diol. Here, we use molecular simulation to examine the effect of oxidation on the structure of crystalline cellulose. The simulations highlight variations in behaviors depending on the chemical identity of the oxidized species and its location within the cellulose fibril, as different oxidized species introduce steric effects that disrupt local crystallinity and in some cases reduce the work needed for polymer decrystallization. Reducing-end oxidations are easiest to decrystallize when located at the end of the fibril, whereas nonreducing end oxidations readily decrystallize from internal cleavage sites despite their lower solvent accessibility. The differential in decrystallization free energy suggests a molecular mechanism consistent with experimentally observed LPMO/cellobiohydrolase synergy. Additionally, the soluble oxidized cellobiose products released by hydrolytic cellulases may bind to the active sites of cellulases with different affinities relative to cellobiose itself, which potentially affects hydrolytic turnover through product inhibition. To examine the effect of oxidation on cello-oligomer binding, we use thermodynamic integration to compute the relative change in binding free energy between the hydrolyzed and oxidized products in the active site of Family 7 and Family 6 processive glycoside hydrolases, Trichoderma reesei Cel7A and Cel6A, which are key industrial cellulases and commonly used model systems for fungal cellulases. Our results suggest that the equilibrium between the two reducing end oxidized products, favoring the linear aldonic acid, may increase product inhibition, which would in turn reduce processive substrate turnover. In the case of LMPO action at the nonreducing end, oxidation appears to lower affinity with the nonreducing end specific cellulase, reducing product inhibition and potentially promoting processive cellulose turnover. Overall, this suggests that oxidation of recalcitrant polysaccharides by LPMOs accelerates degradation not only by increasing the concentration of chain termini but also by reducing decrystallization work, and that product inhibition may be somewhat reduced as a result.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a green alternative for the production of transportation fuels, the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose and subsequent fermentation to ethanol are being intensively researched. To be economically feasible, the hydrolysis of lignocellulose must be conducted at a high concentration of solids, which results in high concentrations of hydrolysis end-products, cellobiose and glucose, making the relief of product inhibition of cellulases a major challenge in the process. However, little quantitative information on the product inhibition of individual cellulases acting on cellulose substrates is available because it is experimentally difficult to assess the hydrolysis of the heterogeneous polymeric substrate in the high background of added products. RESULTS The cellobiose and glucose inhibition of thermostable cellulases from Acremonium thermophilum, Thermoascus aurantiacus, and Chaetomium thermophilum acting on uniformly 14C-labeled bacterial cellulose and its derivatives, 14C-bacterial microcrystalline cellulose and 14C-amorphous cellulose, was studied. Cellulases from Trichoderma reesei were used for comparison. The enzymes most sensitive to cellobiose inhibition were glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 7 cellobiohydrolases (CBHs), followed by family 6 CBHs and endoglucanases (EGs). The strength of glucose inhibition followed the same order. The product inhibition of all enzymes was relieved at higher temperatures. The inhibition strength measured for GH7 CBHs with low molecular-weight model substrates did not correlate with that measured with 14C-cellulose substrates. CONCLUSIONS GH7 CBHs are the primary targets for product inhibition of the synergistic hydrolysis of cellulose. The inhibition must be studied on cellulose substrates instead of on low molecular-weight model substrates when selecting enzymes for lignocellulose hydrolysis. The advantages of using higher temperatures are an increase in the catalytic efficiency of enzymes and the relief of product inhibition.

Abstract
Two immunologically related cellobiohydrolases, cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) and cellobiohydrolase II (CBH II), were purified from Aspergillus ficum. The Avicel-adsorbable CBH I (molecular weight, 128,000) digested Avicel, cotton, and cellulose powder to cellobiose, but the Avicel-unadsorbable CBH II (molecular weight, 50,000) could not digest those substrates. Both enzymes hydrolyzed insoluble cellooligosaccharides (DP 25) to cellobiose. High-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of soluble cellooligosaccharide hydrolysates revealed that both enzymes split off strictly cellobiose units from the nonreducing end of the cellulose chain with an exowise mechanism. CBH I showed glucosyltransferase activity, but CBH II did not. The N-bromosuccinimideoxidized CBH I was completely inactive but retained the ability to adsorb to Avicel. This suggested that CBH I has separate sites for binding to cellulose and for catalyzing cleavage of glycosidic linkages. Cellobiohydrolases were of two types, CBH I and CBH II. The former can adsorb to and digest Avicel, while the latter can do neither.

Abstract
Cellooligosaccharides were computationally docked using AutoDock into the active sites of the glycoside hydrolase Family 6 enzymes Hypocrea jecorina (formerly Trichoderma reesei) cellobiohydrolase and Thermobifida fusca endoglucanase. Subsite -2 exerts the greatest intermolecular energy in binding beta-glucosyl residues, with energies progressively decreasing to either side. Cumulative forces imparting processivity exerted by these two enzymes are significantly less than by the equivalent glycoside hydrolase Family 7 enzymes studied previously. Putative subsites -4, -3, +3, and +4 exist in H. jecorina cellobiohydrolase, along with putative subsites -4, -3, and +3 in T. fusca endoglucanase, but they are less important than subsites -2, -1, +1, and +2. In general, binding adds 3-7 kcal/mol to ligand intramolecular energies because of twisting of scissile glycosidic bonds. Distortion of beta-glucosyl residues to the (2)S(O) conformation by binding in subsite -1 adds approximately 7 kcal/mol to substrate intramolecular energies.

Abstract
Cellulose is the most abundant renewable natural biological resource, and the production of biobased products and bioenergy from less costly renewable lignocellulosic materials is important for the sustainable development of human beings. A reduction in cellulase production cost, an improvement in cellulase performance, and an increase in sugar yields are all vital to reduce the processing costs of biorefineries. Improvements in specific cellulase activities for non-complexed cellulase mixtures can be implemented through cellulase engineering based on rational design or directed evolution for each cellulase component enzyme, as well as on the reconstitution of cellulase components. Here, we review quantitative cellulase activity assays using soluble and insoluble substrates, and focus on their advantages and limitations. Because there are no clear relationships between cellulase activities on soluble substrates and those on insoluble substrates, soluble substrates should not be used to screen or select improved cellulases for processing relevant solid substrates, such as plant cell walls. Cellulase improvement strategies based on directed evolution using screening on soluble substrates have been only moderately successful, and have primarily targeted improvement in thermal tolerance. Heterogeneity of insoluble cellulose, unclear dynamic interactions between insoluble substrate and cellulase components, and the complex competitive and/or synergic relationship among cellulase components limit rational design and/or strategies, depending on activity screening approaches. Herein, we hypothesize that continuous culture using insoluble cellulosic substrates could be a powerful selection tool for enriching beneficial cellulase mutants from the large library displayed on the cell surface.

Abstract
The effect of induction of protein production was studied in bioreactor cultures of T. reesei strain Rut-C30 and its transformant expressing endoglucanase I core domain (EGI, Cel7B) fused with a hydrophobic peptide tag. The tag was previously designed for efficient purification of the fusion protein in aqueous two-phase separation. The fungi were first grown on glucose-containing minimal medium after which rich medium with lactose as a carbon source was added to induce cellulase production. Production of extracellular protein and cellulase activity and the transcript levels of the major cellulase genes were analyzed during the cultivations. Induction of the cellulase genes followed a similar temporal pattern in both strains. The first phase of induction took place after addition of lactose as soon as glucose was depleted, and the second phase after lactose was consumed. Western analysis showed that a decreased amount of fusion protein was produced in the culture medium compared with the endogenous EGI, although the strain harbors several copies of the recombinant gene under the strong cbh1 promoter. The fusion protein appeared to accumulate within the cells, indicating impaired secretion of the protein. The mRNA levels of the UPR (unfolded protein response) target genes, bip1 and pdi1, and the level of the active form of hac1 transcript encoding the UPR transcription factor increased concurrently with induction of the cellulase genes in both strains, indicating increased requirement of the folding machinery under these conditions. However, only a minor increase in bip1 and pdi1 transcript level was observed in the transformant compared with the parental strain.

Abstract
To gain further insight into the difference in substrate specificity between endoglucanase and cellobiohydrolase, the intrinsic fluorescence properties of cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) and endoglucanase I (EG I) from Trichoderma pseudokiningii S-38 were investigated. The results for the spectral characteristics, ligand binding and fluorescence quenching suggest that the fluorescence of two enzymes comes from tryptophan residues, and that tryptophan residue(s) may be involved in the function of the two enzymes. The results also suggest that the binding tryptophan in EG I may be more exposed to solvent than that in CBH I. This interpretation is supported by the observations that the effects of pH upon the fluorescence of EG I are greater than that of CBH I; spectral shifts are different in EG I and CBH I under various conditions, and fluorescence lifetime changes caused by cellobiose binding are larger for EG I than for CBH I.

Abstract
The three dimensional structure of a T. fusca endoglucanase catalytic domain (E2cd) has been determined by X-ray crystallography at 1.0 A resolution (Wilson et al., 1995). The availability of a high resolution structure for E2cd allows us to initiate structure-based efforts to engineer cellulases with a high activity on native cellulose. The low activity on crystalline cellulose suggests that the entry of a cellulose molecule into the active site rather than catalysis may be the rate limiting step for hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose. Movement of a loop upon substrate binding has been proposed to play a crucial role in catalysis. A total of 15 surface mutants and 5 loop mutants were created by site-directed mutagenesis and their effects on activity and substrate specificity were determined. Circular dichroism spectra were used to monitor structural changes, and no major changes were found. The binding constants for two methyl umbelliferyl oligosaccharides and cellotriose were measured for some of the mutants and all of them showed binding similar to wild type E2. These results provide the first direct link between loop movement and catalysis by E2 and show that surface residues can affect its substrate specificity.

Abstract
Cellulose, a polymer of |3-1,4-linked D-glucose residues, is the World’s most abundant natural polymer. It occurs predominantly in plants, forming their main structural component, but also occurs widely in other organisms, such as bacteria, algae, fungi and animals. With annual production of around 1.8 x 10
12
tonnes, it has attracted considerable study encompassing its synthesis, biodegradation and utilization in several recent reviews (M. P. Goughian

Abstract
The hydrolysis of soluble cello-oligosaccharides, with a degree of polymerisation of 4-6, catalysed by cellobiohydrolase II from Trichoderma reesei was studied using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and HPLC. The experimental progress curves were analysed by fitting numerically integrated kinetic equations, which provided cleavage patterns and kinetic constants for each oligosaccharide. This analysis procedure accounts for product inhibition and avoids the initial slope approximation. No glucose was detected at the beginning of the reaction indicating that only the internal glycosidic linkages are attacked. For cellotetraose only the second glycosidic linkage was cleaved. For cellopentaose and cellohexaose the second and the third glycosidic linkage from the non-reducing end were cleaved with approximately equal probability. The degradation rates of these cello-oligosaccharides, 1-12 s-1 at 27 degrees C, are about 10-100 times faster than for the 4-methylumbelliferyl substituted analogs or for collotriose. No intermediate products larger than cellotriose were released. The degradation rate for cellotetraose were higher than its off-rate, which accounts for the processive degradation of cellohexaose. A high cellohexaose/enzyme ratio caused slow reversible inactivation of the enzyme.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy and HPLC were used to investigate the hydrolysis of cellotriose by cellobiohydrolase II from Trichoderma reesei. Substrate and product concentrations were followed as a function of time. Progress curves were calculated by forward numerical integration of the full kinetic equations and were fitted to the experimental data. Binding and rate constants were obtained from this fit, whereby no initial slope or Michaelis-Menten approximation was used. The progress curves from a single experiment sufficed to produce agreement with the Michaelis-Menten model (eight experiments). The absence of a kinetic isotope effect was proven. The progress-curve analysis showed that a simple degradation model cannot describe the experimental time-courses at substrate concentrations greater than 1 mM. A model containing competitive inhibition from cellobiose as well as non-competitive inhibition from glucose was developed. This four-parameter model accurately reproduces about 1000 experimental data points covering five orders of magnitude in oligosaccharide concentrations. Glucose binding to the enzyme/cellotriose complex retards, in a non-competitive fashion, cellotriose hydrolysis by at least a factor of 30. A structural model for the non-competitive inhibition is discussed. The NMR experiment also produced individual progress curves for the alpha and beta anomers. The beta anomer of cellotriose was degraded 2.5-times faster than the alpha anomer.

Abstract
The removal of cell-bound water through air drying and the addition of water to air-dried cells are forces that have played a pivotal role in the evolution of the prokaryotes. In bacterial cells that have been subjected to air drying, the evaporation of free cytoplasmic water (Vf) can be instantaneous, and an equilibrium between cell-bound water (Vb) and the environmental water (vapor) potential (psi wv) may be achieved rapidly. In the air-dried state some bacteria survive only for seconds whereas others can tolerate desiccation for thousands, perhaps millions, of years. The desiccated (anhydrobiotic) cell is characterized by its singular lack of water--with contents as low as 0.02 g of H2O g (dry weight)-1. At these levels the monolayer coverage by water of macromolecules, including DNA and proteins, is disturbed. As a consequence the mechanisms that confer desiccation tolerance upon air-dried bacteria are markedly different from those, such as the mechanism of preferential exclusion of compatible solutes, that preserve the integrity of salt-, osmotically, and freeze-thaw-stressed cells. Desiccation tolerance reflects a complex array of interactions at the structural, physiological, and molecular levels. Many of the mechanisms remain cryptic, but it is clear that they involve interactions, such as those between proteins and co-solvents, that derive from the unique properties of the water molecule. A water replacement hypothesis accounts for how the nonreducing disaccharides trehalose and sucrose preserve the integrity of membranes and proteins. Nevertheless, we have virtually no insight into the state of the cytoplasm of an air-dried cell. There is no evidence for any obvious adaptations of proteins that can counter the effects of air drying or for the occurrence of any proteins that provide a direct and a tangible contribution to cell stability. Among the prokaryotes that can exist as anhydrobiotic cells, the cyanobacteria have a marked capacity to do so. One form, Nostoc commune, encompasses a number of the features that appear to be critical to the withstanding of a long-term water deficit, including the elaboration of a conspicuous extracellular glycan, synthesis of abundant UV-absorbing pigments, and maintenance of protein stability and structural integrity. There are indications of a growing technology for air-dried cells and enzymes. Paradoxically, desiccation tolerance of bacteria has virtually been ignored for the past quarter century. The present review considers what is known, and what is not known, about desiccation, a phenomenon that impinges upon every facet of the distributions and activities of prokaryotic cells.

Abstract
The cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum, purified by affinity chromatography, was dissociated under mild conditions and separated by SDS-PAGE. Two major p-nitrophenylcellobiosidases (PNPCases I and II) corresponding to the S5 (103 kDa) and S8 (78 kDa) subunits and one major carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) coinciding with the S11 (60.5 kDa) subunit were isolated and characterized using carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), H3PO4-swollen cellulose and cello-oligosaccharides. Both PNPCases showed little effect on the viscosity of CMC and released twice as much total sugar as reducing sugar from H3PO4-swollen cellulose. The CMCase released ten times more total sugar than reducing sugar from H3PO4-swollen cellulose and reduced the viscosity of CMC rapidly. None of these enzymes was active on cellotriose. Both PNPCases released cellobiose from cellotetraose, and cellobiose and cellotriose from cellopentaose. In contrast, CMCase was active only on cellopentaose and released mainly glucose. Use of MeUmb(Glc)n revealed that both PNPCases cleaved preferentially either the second or fourth linkage from the non-reducing end while the CMCase was specific for the internal glycosidic bonds. Thus, the PNPCases and CMCase behaved as typical exo- and endoglucanases, respectively. When tested individually, all three enzymes degraded Avicel only to a small extent. A 1.5-2.0-fold increase in sugar release was observed when CMCase was combined with either PNPCase I, II or both. Combining S1 with either PNPCase II or CMCase resulted in fourfold synergism in the hydrolysis of Avicel. Synergism was sevenfold when all three enzymes were combined with S1.

Abstract
The catalytic activity of nine enzymes (endoglucanases I-III, V, VI and cellobiohydrolases I and II from Humicola insolens; endoglucanases A and C from Bacillus lautus), representative of cellulase families A-C, H, J and K, has been investigated using a series of reduced cellooligosaccharides (cellotriitol to cellohexaitol) as substrates. For each enzyme, the specificity of cleavage was determined by analytical HPLC while the kinetic constants were obtained from a kinetic assay involving a cellobiose dehydrogenase purified from H. insolens as a coupled enzyme using 2,6-dichloroindophenol as the electron acceptor. These data were used to estimate the number of subsites in the enzymes. The stereochemical course of hydrolysis by seven enzymes, representing the six different families, was assessed using 1H-NMR. The enzymes belonging to families which had already been investigated (A-C), showed results in agreement with previous studies. The three other families (H, J and K), for which no mechanistic data was previously available, gave results which indicated that enzymes in group H had retaining-type activity and enzymes in groups J and K had inverting-type activity. The retaining endoglucanases I and III displayed a high glycosyl-transferase activity under the conditions used during the NMR experiments resulting in precipitates of higher oligomers.

Abstract
Cellobiohydrolase II hydrolyses alpha- and beta-D-cellobiosyl fluorides to alpha-cellobiose at comparable rates, according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The stereochemistry, absence of transfer products and strict hyperbolic kinetics of the hydrolysis of alpha-cellobiosyl fluoride suggest that the mechanism for the alpha-fluoride may be the enzymic counterpart of the SNi reaction observed in the trifluoroethanolysis of alpha-glucopyranosyl fluoride [Sinnott and Jencks (1980) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 102, 2026-2032]. The absolute factors by which this enzyme accelerates fluoride ion release are small and greater for the alpha-fluoride than for the beta, suggesting that its biological function may not be just glycoside hydrolysis. Cellobiohydrolase I hydrolyses only beta-cellobiosyl fluoride, which is, however, an approx. 1-3% contaminant in alpha-cellobiosyl fluoride as prepared and purified by conventional methods. Instrumental assays for the various components of the cellulase complex are discussed.

Abstract
The enzymatic degradation of cellulose is an important process, both ecologically and commercially. The three-dimensional structure of a cellulase, the enzymatic core of CBHII from the fungus Trichoderma reesei reveals an alpha-beta protein with a fold similar to but different from the widely occurring barrel topology first observed in triose phosphate isomerase. The active site of CBHII is located at the carboxyl-terminal end of a parallel beta barrel, in an enclosed tunnel through which the cellulose threads. Two aspartic acid residues, located in the center of the tunnel are the probable catalytic residues.

Abstract
Binding onto cellobiohydrolase II from Trichoderma reesei of glucose, cellobiose, cellotriose, derivatized and analogous compounds, is monitored by protein-difference-absorption spectroscopy and by titration of ligand fluorescence, either at equilibrium or by the stopped-flow technique. The data complete earlier results [van Tilbeurgh, H., Pettersson, L. G., Bhikhabhai, R., De Boeck, H. and Claeyssens, M. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 148, 329-334] indicating an extended active center, with putative subsites ABCD. Subsite A specifically complexes with beta-D-glucosides and D-glucose; at 25 degrees C the latter influences the concomitant binding of other ligands at neighbouring sites. For several ligands this cooperative effect for binding (at 0.33 M glucose and temperature range 4-37 degrees C) was characterized by a substantial increase of the enthalpic term (delta delta H = -35 kJ mol-1). Glucose (0.33 M) decreases the association and dissociation rate parameters of 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-cellobioside by one order of magnitude: k+ = (3.6 +/- 0.5) x 10(-5) M-1 s-1 versus (5.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(-6) M-1 s-1 (in the absence of glucose) and k- = (1.3 +/- 0.1) s-1 versus (14.0 +/- 0.3) s-1. As deduced from substrate-specificity studies and inhibition experiments, subsite B interacts with terminal non-reducing glucopyranosyl residues of oligomeric ligands and substrates, whereas catalytic (hydrolytic) cleavage occurs between C and D. Association constants 10-100 times higher than those for cellobiose or its glycosides were observed for D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-beta-D-xylopyranose and cellobionolactone derivatives, suggesting 'transition-state'-type binding for these ligands at subsite C. Although subsite D can accomodate a bulky chromophoric group (MeUmb) its preference for a glucosyl residue is reflected in the lower binding enthalpy of cellotriose (-34 kJ mol-1) as compared to cellobiose (-28.3 kJ mol-1) and MeUmb(Glc)2 (-11.6 kJ mol-1). This model indicates that oligomeric ligands (substrates) interact through cooperativity of their subunits at the extended binding site of cellobiohydrolase II.

Abstract
Reaction patterns for the hydrolysis of chromophoric glycosides from cello-oligosaccharides and lactose by the cellobiohydrolases (CBH I and CBH II) purified from Trichoderma reesei and Penicillium pinophilum were determined. They coincide with those found for the parent unsubstituted sugars. CBH I enzyme from both organisms attacks these substrates in a random manner. Turnover numbers are, however, low and do not increase appreciably as a function of the degree of polymerization of the substrates. The active-site topology of the CBH I from T. reesei was further probed by equilibrium binding experiments with cellobiose, cellotriose, lactose and some of their derivatives. These point to a single interaction site (ABC), spatially restricted as deduced from the apparent independency of the thermodynamic parameters. It appears that the putative subsite A can accommodate a galactopyranosyl or glucopyranosyl group, and subsite B a glucopyranosyl group, whereas in subsite C either a glucopyranosyl or a chromophoric group can be bound, scission occurring between subsites B and C. The apparent kinetic parameters (turnover numbers) for the hydrolysis of cello-oligosaccharides (and their derivatives) by the CBH II type enzyme increase as a function of chain length, indicative of an extended binding site (A-F). Its architecture allows for specific binding of beta-(1----4)-glucopyranosyl groups in subsites A, B and C. Binding of a chromophore in subsite C produces a non-hydrolysable complex. The thermodynamic interaction parameters of some ligands common to both type of enzyme were compared: these substantiate the conclusions reached above.

Abstract
A very simple and sensitive procedure for the determination of the activity of highly purified endo-1,4-beta-glucanase from the microscopic fungus Trichoderma reesei using 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-cellobioside has been developed. The HPLC study has shown that this substrate is cleaved by endo-1,4-beta-glucanase to form predominantly free 4-methylumbelliferone, Km and kcat being 1.25 mM and 7.9 s-1, respectively (30 degrees C, pH 5.0). The possibility of continuous photometric determination of the enzyme using the difference absorptivity coefficient of 1600 M-1 cm-1 at 350 nm has been demonstrated.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Limited action of papain on the native forms of two cellobiohydrolases (CBH) from Trichoderma reesei (CBH I, 65 kDa, and CBH II, 58 kDa) leads to the isolation of the respective core fragments (56 kDa and 45 kDa) which are fully active on small, soluble substrates, but have a strongly reduced activity (respectively 10% and 50% of the initial value) on microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel). By partial sequencing at the C terminus of the CBH I core and at the N terminus of the CBH II core the papain cleavage sites have been assigned in the primary structures (at about residue 431 and 82 respectively). This limited action of papain on the native enzymes indicates the presence of hinge regions linking the core to these terminal glycopeptides. The latter conserved sequences appear either at the C or N terminus of several cellulolytic enzymes from Trichoderma reesei [Teeri et al. (1987) Gene 51, 43-52]. The specific activities of the intact enzymes and their cores on two forms of insoluble cellulose (crystalline, amorphous) differentiate the CBH I and CBH II in terms of adsorption and catalytic properties. Distinct functions can be attributed to the terminal peptides: for intact CBH II the N-terminal region contributes in the binding onto both cellulose types; the homologous C-terminal peptide in CBH I, however, only affects the interaction with microcrystalline cellulose. It could be inferred that CBH I and its core bind preferentially to crystalline regions. This seems to be corroborated by the results of CBH I/CBH II synergism experiments.
