25. Organization of a Clostridium thermocellum gene cluster encoding the cellulosomal scaffolding protein CipA and a protein possibly involved in attachment of the cellulosome to the cell surface.
The nucleotide sequence was determined for a 9.4-kb region of Clostridium thermocellum DNA extending from the 3' end of the gene (now termed cipA), encoding the S1/SL component of the cellulosome. Three open reading frames (ORFs) belonging to two operons were detected. They encoded polypeptides of 1,664, 688, and 447 residues, termed ORF1p, ORF2p, and ORF3p,

26. Cellulose-binding domains promote hydrolysis of different sites on crystalline cellulose
The cohesin-dockerin interaction in Clostridium thermocellum cellulosome mediates the tight binding of cellulolytic enzymes to the cellulosome-integrating protein CipA. Here, this interaction was used to study the effect of different cellulose-binding domains (CBDs) on the enzymatic activity of C. thermocellum endoglucanase CelD (1,4-β-d endoglucanase, EC3.

27. Cold Shock of a Hyperthermophilic Archaeon: Pyrococcus furiosus Exhibits Multiple Responses to a Suboptimal Growth Temperature with a Key Role for Membrane-Bound Glycoproteins
The hyperthermophilic archaeon, Pyrococcus furiosus, was grown on maltose near its optimal growth temperature, 95°C, and at the lower end of the temperature range for significant growth, 72°C. In addition, cultures were shocked by rapidly dropping the temperature from 95 to 72°C. This resulted in a 5-h lag phase, during which time little growth occurred.

28. Production of Heterologous and Chimeric Scaffoldins by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824
Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 converts sugars and various polysaccharides into acids and solvents. This bacterium, however, is unable to utilize cellulosic substrates, since it is able to secrete very small amounts of cellulosomes. To promote the utilization of crystalline cellulose, the strategy we chose aims at producing heterologous minicellulosomes

29. The binding specificity and affinity determinants of family 1 and family 3 cellulose binding modules
Cellulose binding modules (CBMs) potentiate the action of cellulolytic enzymes on insoluble substrates. Numerous studies have established that three aromatic residues on a CBM surface are needed for binding onto cellulose crystals and that tryptophans contribute to higher binding affinity than tyrosines. However, studies addressing the nature of CBM–cellul

30. Involvement of Both Dockerin Subdomains in Assembly of the Clostridium thermocellum Cellulosome
Clostridium thermocellum produces an extracellular cellulase complex termed the cellulosome. It consists of a scaffolding protein, CipA, containing nine cohesin domains and a cellulose-binding domain, and at least 14 different enzymatic subunits, each containing a conserved duplicated sequence, or dockerin domain. The cohesin-dockerin interaction is responsi

31. Subcellular localization of Clostridium thermocellum ORF3p, a protein carrying a receptor for the docking sequence borne by the catalytic components of the cellulosome.
The ORF3 gene of Clostridium thermocellum encodes a polypeptide (ORF3p) which contains a receptor domain for the docking sequence borne by the catalytic subunits of the cellulosome and a triplicated domain related to some bacterial cell surface proteins. It was thus surmised that ORF3p is a surface protein. In this study, this hypothesis was confirmed. Subce

32. A Novel Cellulosomal Scaffoldin from Acetivibrio cellulolyticus That Contains a Family 9 Glycosyl Hydrolase
A novel cellulosomal scaffoldin gene, termed cipV, was identified and sequenced from the mesophilic cellulolytic anaerobe Acetivibrio cellulolyticus. Initial identification of the protein was based on a combination of properties, including its high molecular weight, cellulose-binding activity, glycoprotein nature, and immuno-cross-reactivity with the cellulo

33. Cloning and Sequence Analysis of a New Cellulase Gene Encoding CelK, a Major Cellulosome Component of Clostridium thermocellum: Evidence for Gene Duplication and Recombination
The cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic complex of Clostridium thermocellum, termed cellulosome, consists of up to 26 polypeptides, of which at least 17 have been sequenced. They include 12 cellulases, 3 xylanases, 1 lichenase, and CipA, a scaffolding polypeptide. We report here a new cellulase gene, celK, coding for CelK, a 98-kDa major component of the cellu
