RESUMO
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 (D̄P̄ 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.
