Notes: Summary The nucleotide sequence of the celZ gene coding for a thermostable endo-β-1,4-glucanase (Avicelase I) of Clostridium stercorarium was determined. The structural gene consists of an open reading frame of 2958 by which encodes a preprotein of 986 amino acids with an Mr of 109000. The signal peptide cleavage site was identified by comparison with the N-terminal amino acid sequence of Avicelase I purified from C. stercorarium culture supernatants. The recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli is proteolytically cleaved into catalytic and cellulose-binding fragments of about 50 kDa each. Sequence comparison revealed that the N-terminal half of Avicelase I is closely related to avocado (Persea americana) cellulase. Homology is also observed with Clostridium thermocellum endoglucanase D and Pseudomonas fuorescens cellulase. The cellulose-binding region was located in the C-terminal half of Avicelase I. It consists of a reiterated domain of 88 amino acids flanked by a repeated sequence about 140 amino acids in length. The C-terminal flanking sequence is highly homologous to the non-catalytic domain of Bacillus subtilis endoglucanase and Caldocellum saccharolyticum endoglucanase B. It is proposed that the enhanced cellulolytic activity of Avicelase I is due to the presence of multiple cellulose-binding sites.

Description / Table of Contents: Synthesis, NMR Spectroscopic Characterization and Structure of Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)barium Bis[1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenyl-1-aza-3-phosphapropenide]Barium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide] 1 reacts with two equivalents of benzonitrile to give barium bis[1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenyl-1-aza-3-phosphapropenide]; the choice of the solvent determines whether a tris-(tetrahydrofuran)- or a bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane)-complex 2 can be isolated. 2 crystallizes from DME as red cuboids (monoclinic, C2/c, a = 1627.0(3), b = 1836.6(3), c = 1602.5(2) pm; β = 96.071(12)°; V = 4761.7(12); Z = 4; wR2 = 0.0851). The phosphorus atom displays a pyramidal surrounding in contrast to the planar coordination sphere of the nitrogen atom. In addition a twist within the P—C—N skeleton of the heteroallyl anion is observed.

Notes: Barium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanid] 1 reagiert mit zwei Äquivalenten Benzonitril zu Barium-bis[1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenyl-1-aza-3-phosphapropenid]; durch die Wahl des Lösungsmittels läßt sich entweder der Tris(tetrahydrofuran)- oder der Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethan)-Komplex 2 isolieren. Verbindung 2 kristallisiert aus DME in Form roter Würfel aus (monoklin. C2/c, a = 1627,0(3), b = 1836,6(3), c = 1602,5(2) pm; β = 96,071(12)°; V = 4761,7(12); Z = 4; wR2 = 0,0851). Während die Koordinationssphäre des Stickstoffatoms planar ist, befindet sich das Phosphoratom in einer pyramidalen Umgebung. Zusätzlich beobachtet man im 1-Aza-3-phosphapropenid-Anion eine leichte Verdrillung.
