Abstract:
Provided herein are novel proteins and protein domains from newly discovered anaerobic fungal species. The anaerobic fungal species have unique enzymatic capabilities, including the ability to digest diverse lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks and to synthesize secondary metabolites. The scope of the invention encompasses novel engineered proteins comprising glycoside hydrolase enzymes, dockerin domains, carbohydrate binding domains, and polyketide synthase enzymes. The invention further encompasses artificial cellulosomes comprising novel proteins and domains of the invention. The scope of the invention further includes novel nucleic acid sequences coding for the engineered proteins of the invention, and methods of using such engineered organisms to degrade lignocellulosic biomass and to create polyketides.
