Substrate specificities

All characterized members of the GH64 family are laminaripentaose-producing beta-1,3-glucanases (EC 3.2.1.39) from the GH64-TLP (thaumatin-like protein) superfamily. They are found in bacteria and fungal species, and are particularly abundant in the genomes of various Streptomyces and Fusarium species.

Activity has been shown on insoluble and soluble beta-1,3-glucans, including curdlan [1, 2, 3], colloidal pachyman [1, 3, 4], laminarin [1, 3, 4], and zymosan A [1, 2], a commercial preparation of partially-purified yeast cell walls (contains branched glucans).
