Endoglucanase I (EGI) from Trichoderma viride HK-75 catalyzes not only hydrolysis but also transglycosylation reactions of cellooligosaccharides. In order to characterize the important amino acid residues in transglycosylation of EGI, three Tyr, one Leu, and two Glu residues of EGI were replaced by Trp or Asp. The seven resulting EGI, except for L200W, had reduced activities toward carboxymethyl-cellulose compared to that of wild type EGI. The results from the mutations in the catalytic residues of E196 and E201 indicate that the space just around the catalytic residues is not directly related to the transglycosylation reactions of EGI. Analyses of the enzymes with mutations in the substrate-binding residues showed that Y146, Y170, and L200 of EGI are closely involved in the mode of transglycosylation and that several amino acid residues within the active site are involved in the transglycosylation reaction of EGI.
