The three-dimensional structures of (1-->3)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.39) isoenzyme GII and (1-->3,1-->4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.73) isoenzyme EII from barley have been determined by x-ray crystallography at 2.2- to 2.3-A resolution. The two classes of polysaccharide endohydrolase differ in their substrate specificity and function. Thus, the (1-->3)-beta-glucanases, which are classified amongst the plant "pathogenesis-related proteins," can hydrolyze (1-->3)- and (1-->3,1-->6)-beta-glucans of f ...[more]
