Abstract
A novel -1, 4-endoglucanase (EGase, EC 3.2.1.4) cDNA belonging to glycoside hydrolase family (GHF) 45 was cloned from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari. The cDNA encoding EGase of A. germari (Ag-EGase) is 711 base pairs long with an open reading frame of 237 amino acid residues. The deduced protein sequence of Ag-EGase showed 54% and 48% identity to phytophagous beetle Phaedon cochleariae and termite Reticulitermes speratus hindgut symbiont, respectively. (omitted)
