Cloning and Bioinformatics Analysis of an Endoglucanase 2 from Trichoderma reesei

Trichoderma reesei CBS368, a strong endoglucanase 2 (EG 2) producing strain, was isolated in our laboratory. The DNA fragment encoding the EG 2 was cloned in pMD18-T and sequenced. In order to achieve its expression, the vector pET28a (+) and pET32a (+) were used as expression vector, and the recombinant EG 2 was successfully expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). Bioinformatic analysis was conducted using some online or offline services.
