TL;DR: This work assembled 89 scaffolds to generate 34 Mbp of nearly contiguous T. reesei genome sequence comprising 9,129 predicted gene models, providing a roadmap for constructing enhanced T.Reesei strains for industrial applications such as biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swollenin, a Trichoderma reesei protein with sequence similarity to the plant expansins, exhibits disruption activity on cellulosic materials
Markku Saloheimo,Marja Paloheimo,Satu Hakola,Jaakko Pere,Swanson Barbara A,Eini Nyyssönen,Amit Bhatia,Michael Ward,Merja Penttilä +8 more
TL;DR: A novel gene with sequence similarity to plant expansins, isolated from the cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei, is described, which has an N-terminal fungal type cellulose binding domain connected by a linker region to the expansin-like domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
EGIII, a new endoglucanase from Trichoderma reesei: the characterization of both gene and enzyme
Markku Saloheimo,Päivi Lehtovaara,Merja Penttilä,TT Teeri,Jerry Ståhlberg,Gunnar Johansson,Göran Pettersson,Marc Claeyssens,Peter Tomme,J. Knowles +9 more
TL;DR: Comparison of the fungal cellulase structures has led to re-evaluation of hypotheses concerning the localization of the active sites, and all the four T. reesei cellulases share two common, adjacent sequence domains, which apparently can be removed by proteolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal Structure of a Laccase from Melanocarpus Albomyces with an Intact Trinuclear Copper Site
Nina Hakulinen,Laura-Leena Kiiskinen,Kristiina Kruus,Markku Saloheimo,Arja Paananen,Anu Koivula,Juha Rouvinen +6 more
TL;DR: The crystal structure of the M. albomyces laccase revealed elongated electron density between all three coppers in the trinuclear copper site, suggesting that an oxygen molecule binds with a novel geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein folding and conformational stress in microbial cells producing recombinant proteins: a host comparative overview

TL;DR: In this article, the main cellular players of this complex process are described for the most important cell factories used for biotechnological purposes, and the characterization of such adverse conditions and the elicited cell responses have permitted to better understand the physiology and molecular biology of conformational stress.
