    Abstract

    The planar and anchoring residues of the family IIIa cellulose binding domain (CBD) from the cellulosomal scaffolding protein of Clostridium cellulovorans were investigated by site-directed mutagenesis and cellulose binding studies. By fusion with maltose binding protein, the family IIIa recombinant wild-type and mutant CBDs from C. cellulovorans were expressed as soluble forms. Cellulose binding tests of the mutant CBDs indicated that the planar strip residues played a major role in cellulose binding and that the anchoring residues played only a minor role.
