Cloning and characterization of the glucosidase II alpha subunit gene of Trichoderma reesei: A frameshift mutation results in the aberrant glycosylation profile of the hypercellulolytic strain rut-C30

The isolation and characterization of the gene encoding the glycosidase II alpha subunit of the industrially important fungus Trichoderma reesei is described. The gene encoding the glucosidase II alpha subunit in the hypercellulolytic strain Rut-C30 contains a frameshift mutation resulting in a truncated gene product.
