beta-Glucan synthesis from uridine diphosphoglucose by pea epicotyl tissue slices is increased two- to threefold by preliminary, short-term treatment with cellulases purified from auxin-treated peas. We suggest that cellulases introduce chain ends in accessible regions of cellulose microfibrils which then act as primers for chain elongation.
豌豆下胚轴组织切片利用尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖合成β-葡聚糖,经从生长素处理过的豌豆中纯化得到的纤维素酶进行短期预处理后,其合成量增加了两到三倍。我们认为,纤维素酶在纤维素微纤丝的可及区域引入链端,然后这些链端作为链延伸的引物。
