Abstract

The cDNA coding for the endoglucanase EGII of P. janthinellum was cloned and sequenced. The open reading frame comprises 1230 nucleotides and the deduced amino-acid sequence shows an overall homology of 63% with the T. reesei egl2. The cellulose-binding domain of EGII represents a typical member of the A family of cellulases. The egl2 gene is only induced by cellulose or cellobiose and not by sophorose. A promotor fragment including 1 kb was cloned and sequenced. Three major transcription startpoints were identified. Five motifs matching the binding site of the carbon-catabolite repressor CREA of A. nidulans were detected. Their potential implication in repression was analyzed by bandshift assays.
