UniProt functional annotation for P14090



	UniProt functional annotation for P14090

UniProt code: P14090.

Organism: Cellulomonas fimi (strain ATCC 484 / DSM 20113 / JCM 1341 / NBRC 15513 / NCIMB 8980 / NCTC 7547).

Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Micrococcales; Cellulomonadaceae; Cellulomonas.

Function: The biological conversion of cellulose to glucose generally requires three types of hydrolytic enzymes: (1) Endoglucanases which cut internal beta-1,4-glucosidic bonds; (2) Exocellobiohydrolases that cut the disaccharide cellobiose from the non-reducing end of the cellulose polymer chain; (3) Beta-1,4-glucosidases which hydrolyze the cellobiose and other short cello-oligosaccharides to glucose.

Catalytic activity: Reaction=Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal beta-D-glucans.; EC=3.2.1.4;

Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 9 (cellulase E) family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10140, ECO:0000305}.
