摘要
The main properties(pH and temperature range, stability, substrate specificity) of the modified cellulase CelE (endo-beta -1,4-glucanase) from Clostridium thermocellum have been analyzed with the goal of its expression in plants. The modified enzyme is similar to plant cellulases. Deletions in the N-terminus of the enzyme do not affect its biochemical properties. Based on the present investigation, we conclude that the modified beta -1,4-glucanase CelEM1,when expressed in plants, will be a good model to study the role of cellulases in plants.
