The ''Podospora anserina'' GH131 beta-glucanase displays activity towards a broad range of β-glucan polysaccharides including laminarin, curdlan, pachyman, lichenan, pustulan and also cellulosic derivatives <cite>Lafond2012</cite>. Analysis of the products released from polysaccharides revealed that this β-glucanase is an exo-acting enzyme on β-(1,3)- and β-(1,6)-linked glucan substrates and an endo-acting enzyme on β-(1,4)-linked glucan substrates. Hydrolysis of short β-(1,3), β-(1,4) and β-(1,3)/β-(1,4) gluco-oligosaccharides confirmed this striking feature and revealed that the enzyme was performing in an exo-mode on the non-reducing end of gluco-oligosaccharides.

Substrate specificities

This family of glycoside hydrolases comprises only enzymes of fungal origin. Several of these enzymes contain cellulose-binding CBMs from family 1. Only one member (gene Pa_3_10940) has been characterized to date from the coprophilic ascomycete Podospora anserina [1]. This first member is a broad specificity β-glucanase with exo-β-1,3/1,6- and endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity [1].

Kinetics and Mechanism

The Podospora anserina GH131 beta-glucanase displays activity towards a broad range of β-glucan polysaccharides including laminarin, curdlan, pachyman, lichenan, pustulan and also cellulosic derivatives [1]. Analysis of the products released from polysaccharides revealed that this β-glucanase is an exo-acting enzyme on β-(1,3)- and β-(1,6)-linked glucan substrates and an endo-acting enzyme on β-(1,4)-linked glucan substrates. Hydrolysis of short β-(1,3), β-(1,4) and β-(1,3)/β-(1,4) gluco-oligosaccharides confirmed this striking feature and revealed that the enzyme acted in an exo-mode on the non-reducing end of gluco-oligosaccharides.
