Endoglucanase CasA from alkalophilic Streptomyces strain KSM-9 is a typical member of family B of beta-1,4-glucanases.
CasA is an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase from Streptomyces KSM-9 belonging to family B of beta-1,4-glucanases. A previous analysis of a portion of the corresponding gene (casA) revealed sequencing errors in a region encoding part of the catalytic site. Additional errors in the original sequence were suspected, based on sequence comparison of the C terminus of CasA with other members of its family. Re-sequencing of the remainder of the casA coding region showed that CasA is a typical member of family B.
