Ligand specificities
The first and only hereinto characterized member in the CBM92 family is Cgk16A-CBM92 [1]. The CBM could specifically bind to carrageenan and showed no significant difference in the affinity to κ- and ι-carrageenan.
Structural Features
No three-dimensional structure has been solved in this CBM family at present.
Functionalities
A carrageenan-specific fluorescent probe was successfully constructed by fusing Cgk16A-CBM92 with a green fluorescent protein. The in situ visualization of carrageenan in red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii was realized by utilizing the fluorescent probe [1].
Family Firsts
- First Identified
- The first member Cgk16A-CBM92 is a component of a κ-carrageenase Cgk16A [2], which was discovered from a marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia aestuarii OF219.
- First Structural Characterization
- No three-dimensional structure has been solved in this CBM family at present.
