Hydrolyzes also lichenan and barley beta-1,4-D-glucan. CMC is hydrolyzed majorily to cellobiose (G2), cellotriose (G3) and cellotetraose (G4). Cellohexaose (G6) is hydrolyzed to G4 and G2 with traces of G3. Cellopentaose (G5) is completely hydrolyzed to G2 and G3, and G4 is partially hydrolyzed to G2. Does not hydrolyze G2 or G3. Does not hydrolyze crystalline cellulose, soluble starch, xylan, mannan or laminarin (PubMed:28156112). Publication Abstract from PubMed The CaCel gene from Antarctic springtail Cryptopygus antarcticus codes for a cellulase belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase family 45 (GHF45). Phylogenetic, biochemical, and structural analyses revealed that the CaCel gene product (CaCel) is closely related to fungal GHF45 endo-beta-1,4-glucanases. The organization of five introns within the open reading frame of the CaCel gene indicates its endogenous origin in the genome of the species, which suggests the horizontal transfer of the gene from fungi to the springtail. CaCel exhibited optimal activity at pH 3.5, retained 80% of its activity at 0-10 degrees C, and maintained a half-life of 4 h at 70 degrees C. Based on the structural comparison between CaCel and a fungal homologue, we deduced the structural basis for the unusual characteristics of CaCel. Under acidic conditions at 50 degrees C, CaCel was effective to digest the green algae (Ulva pertusa), suggesting that it could be exploited for biofuel production from seaweeds.
