Abstract

The action of sulfated polyhydroxysteroids from starfish and brittle stars on the activity of β-1,3-glucanases from various sources has been investigated. All the substances activated the exoglucanase LII, nine out of ten activated Le, and seven out of ten of the sulfates activated the endoglucanase LIII. Other endo-β-1,3-glucanases from marine molluscs were specifically inhibited by the steroid sulfates investigated, and it was shown that the efficiency of inhibition depends on the structural features of the molecules of these inhibitors.
