Production of xylobiose from the autohydrolysis explosion liquor of corncob using Thermotoga maritima xylanase B (XynB) immobilized on nickel-chelated Eupergit C

In this study, a thermostable recombinant xylanase B (XynB) from Thermotoga maritima MSB8 was immobilized on nickel-chelated Eupergit C 250L. This immobilized XynB was then used to hydrolyze the autohydrolysis explosion liquor of corncob (AELC) in a packed-bed enzyme reactor for continuous production of xylooligosaccharides, especially xylobiose. When tested in batch hydrolysis of AELC, the immobilized XynB still retained its relative activity of 92.5% after 10 cycles of hydrolysis at 90 degrees C. The immobilized XynB retained 83.6% of its initial hydrolysis activity even after 168 h of hydrolysis reaction at 90 degrees C and demonstrated a half-life time of 577.6 h (24 days) for continuous hydrolysis. HPLC showed that xylobiose (49.8%) and xylose (22.6%) were the main hydrolysis products yielded during continuous hydrolysis. Xylobiose was adsorbed on an activated charcoal column and eluted with a linear gradient of 15% (v/v) ethanol to yield xylobiose with 84.7% of recovery. Also, the purity of xylobiose was up to 97.2% as determined by HPLC. Therefore, the immobilized XynB was suitable for the efficient production of xylobiose from AELC. This is the first report on the immobilization of xylanase for xylobiose production.     

Two Extremely Thermostable Xylanases of the Hyperthermophilic Bacterium Thermotoga maritima MSB8

During growth with xylose or xylan as the source of carbon, xylanase production by Thermotoga maritima MSB8 was enhanced about 10-fold compared with growth with glucose or starch. Two extremely thermostable endoxylanases (1,4-(beta)-d-xylan-xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8), designated XynA and XynB, were identified and purified from cells of this organism. XynA and XynB occurred as proteins with apparent molecular masses of about 120 and 40 kDa, respectively, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Maximum activity at the optimal pH (pH 6.2 and pH 5.4 for XynA and XynB, respectively) was measured at about 92(deg)C for XynA (10-min assay) and at about 105(deg)C for XynB (5-min assay). XynB activity was stimulated twofold by the addition of 500 mM NaCl, while XynA displayed maximum activity without the addition of salt. Both xylanases were tolerant of relatively high salt concentrations. At 2 M (about 12% wt/vol) NaCl, XynA and XynB retained 49 and 65%, respectively, of their maximum activities. In contrast to XynB, XynA was able to adsorb to microcrystalline cellulose. Antibodies raised against a recombinant truncated XynA protein cross-reacted with XynB, indicating that the enzymes may have sequence or structural similarities. Part of the xylanase activity appeared to be associated with the outer membrane of T. maritima cells, since more than 40% of the total xylanase activity present in the crude cellular extract was found in the membrane fraction after high-speed centrifugation. Most of the membrane-bound activity appeared to be due to the 120-kDa xylanase XynA.     

Biobleach boosting effect of recombinant xylanase B from the hyperthermophilic Thermotoga maritima on wheat straw pulp

The recombinant xylanase B (XynB) of Thermotoga maritima MSB8 was found to be highly specific towards xylans and exhibit very low activity towards carboxymethylcellulose in previous study. XynB was thermostable at neutral to alkaline pH region at 90°C and retained more than 90% activity after 1 h over the pH range of pH 6.1 to 11.1. The suitability of XynB for use in the biobleaching of wheat straw pulp was investigated. Pretreatment of the pulp with XynB resulted in a substantial improvement in the bleachability of wheat straw pulp. When XynB at 10 U g⁻¹ was used to treat wheat straw pulp, it reduced pulp kappa number by 1.1 point, enhanced pulp brightness by 5.5% (% ISO) and improved other pulp properties, such as tensile index and breaking length. Biobleaching of wheat straw pulp with XynB saved active chlorine up to 34.5% while still maintaining the brightness at the control level. Besides, pretreatment of pulp with XynB was also effective at an alkaline pH as high as pH 10.1. This is the first report on the potential application of XynB from T. maritima MSB8 in the pulp and paper sector.     

Transglycosylation reaction of xylanase B from the hyperthermophilic Thermotoga maritima with the ability of synthesis of tertiary alkyl beta-D-xylobiosides and xylosides

The recombinant xylanase B (XynB) of Thermotoga maritima MSB8 was characterized and was found to cleave p-nitrophenyl beta-D-xyloside via the transglycosylation reaction in the previous study. XynB was activated in the presence of alcohols, and XynB activity was increased by iso-propanol (2M) to 2.1-fold. This type of activation was investigated and was shown to be due to the transglycosylation activity with p-nitrophenyl beta-D-xylobioside being converted to alkyl beta-D-xylobiosides in the presence of XynB and alcohols. Through the transglycosylation reaction, alkyl beta-xylosides and xylobiosides were simultaneously produced in the presence of xylan and alcohols. Primary alcohols were found to be the best acceptors. The highest yields of alkyl beta-xylosides and xylobiosides were 33% and 50% of the total sugar, respectively. XynB showed a great ability to transfer xylose and xylobiose to secondary alcohol acceptors, and was unique for being able to synthesize the tertiary alkyl beta-xylosides and xylobiosides with high yields of 18.2% and 11.6% of the total sugar, respectively. This is the first report of a xylanase with the ability to synthesize tertiary alkyl beta-xylosides and xylobiosides. The specificity of the beta-linkage was confirmed by the proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR). Thus, XynB of T. maritima appears to be an ideal enzyme for the synthesis of useful alkyl beta-xylosides and xylobiosides.     

Properties and gene structure of the Thermotoga maritima alpha-amylase AmyA, a putative lipoprotein of a hyperthermophilic bacterium.

Thermotoga maritima MSB8 has a chromosomal alpha-amylase gene, designated amyA, that is predicted to code for a 553-amino-acid preprotein with significant amino acid sequence similarity to the 4-alpha-glucanotransferase of the same strain and to alpha-amylase primary structures of other organisms. Upstream of the amylase gene, a divergently oriented open reading frame which can be translated into a polypeptide with similarity to the maltose-binding protein MalE of Escherichia coli was found. The T. maritima alpha-amylase appears to be the first known example of a lipoprotein alpha-amylase. This is in agreement with observations pointing to the membrane localization of this enzyme in T. maritima. Following the signal peptide, a 25-residue putative linker sequence rich in serine and threonine was found. The amylase gene was expressed in E. coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the recombinant enzyme was estimated at 61 kDa by denaturing gel electrophoresis (63 kDa by gel permeation chromatography). In a 10-min assay at the optimum pH of 7.0, the optimum temperature of amylase activity was 85 to 90 degrees C. Like the alpha-amylases of many other organisms, the activity of the T. maritima alpha-amylase was dependent on Ca2+. The final products of hydrolysis of soluble starch and amylose were mainly glucose and maltose. The extraordinarily high specific activity of the T. maritima alpha-amylase (about 5.6 x 10(3) U/mg of protein at 80 degrees C, pH 7, with amylose as the substrate) together with its extreme thermal stability makes this enzyme an interesting candidate for biotechnological applications in the starch processing industry.

Optimized medium improves expression and secretion of extremely thermostable bacterial xylanase, XynB, in Kluyveromyces lactis

An extremely thermostable xylanase gene, xynB, from hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima MSB8 was successful expressed in Kluyveromyces lactis. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize medium components for production of XynB secreted by the recombinant K. lactis. Secretion level (102 mg/L) and enzyme activity (49 U/ml) of XynB in the optimized medium (yeast extract, lactose, and urea; YLU) were much higher than those (56 mg/L, 16 U/ml) in original medium (yeast extract, lactose, and peptone; YLP). It was also observed that the secretory efficiency of mature XynB was improved by the YLU medium. mRNA levels of 13 characterized secretion-related genes between K. lactis cultured in YLP and YLU were detected using semi-quantitative RT-PCR method. It was found that unfolded protein response (UPR) related genes such as ero1, hac1, and kar2 were up-regulated in K. lactis cultured in YLU. Therefore, nutrient ingredient, especially nitrogen source had a significant influence on the XynB secretory efficiency in the host K. lactis.

Sequencing and expression of additional xylanase genes from the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima FjSS3B.1

Two genes, xynB and xynC, coding for xylanases were isolated from Thermotoga maritima FjSS3B.1 by a genomic-walking-PCR technique. Sequencing of the genes showed that they encode multidomain family 10 xylanases. Only XynB exhibited activity against xylan substrates. The temperature optimum (87 degrees C) and pH optimum (pH 6.5) of XynB are different from the previously reported xylanase, XynA (also a family 10 enzyme), from this organism. The catalytic domain expressed without other domains has a lower temperature optimum, is less thermostable, and has optimal activity at pH 6.5. Despite having a high level of sequence similarity to xynB, xynC appears to be nonfunctional since its encoded protein did not show significant activity on xylan substrates.
