Disease relevance of bglA

A Bacillus subtilis bglA gene encoding phospho-beta-glucosidase is inducible and closely linked to a NADH dehydrogenase-encoding gene [1].
Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the bglA gene from Erwinia herbicola and expression of beta-glucosidase activity in Escherichia coli [2].

High impact information on bglA

Restriction endonuclease analysis and sequence data revealed that the clones could be divided into two groups, bglA and bglB, which were shown to be genetically distinct by Southern hybridization analyses [3].
An open reading frame of 1442 bp termed bglA was identified by nucleotide sequencing and it coded for a protein of 480 amino acids (M(r) 53,896) which showed significant homology with beta-glucosidases from glycosyl hydrolase family 1 [2].
