Chemical modification of a xylanase from a thermotolerant Streptomyces. Evidence for essential tryptophan and cysteine residues at the active site. 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文
Extracellular xylanase produced in submerged culture by a thermotolerant Streptomyces T7 growing at 37-50 degrees C was purified to homogeneity by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. The purified enzyme has an Mr of 20,463 and a pI of 7.8. The pH and temperature optima for the activity were 4.5-5.5 and 60 degrees C respectively. The enzyme retained 100% of its original activity on incubation at pH 5.0 for 6 days at 50 degrees C and for 11 days at 37 degrees C. The Km and Vmax. values, as determined with soluble larch-wood xylan, were 10 mg/ml and 7.6 x 10(3) mumol/min per mg of enzyme respectively. The xylanase was devoid of cellulase activity. It was completely inhibited by Hg2+ (2 x 10(-6) M). The enzyme degraded xylan, producing xylobiose, xylo-oligosaccharides and a small amount of xylose as end products, indicating that it is an endoxylanase. Chemical modification of xylanase with N-bromosuccinimide, 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB) revealed that 1 mol each of tryptophan and cysteine per mol of enzyme were essential for the activity. Xylan completely protected the enzyme from inactivation by the above reagents, suggesting the presence of tryptophan and cysteine at the substrate-binding site. Inactivation of xylanase by PHMB could be restored by cysteine. 相似文献

Extracellular beta-xylosidase (1,4-beta-D-xylan xylohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.37) from culture filtrates of Neurospora crassa was purified to homogeneity by preparative isoelectric focusing followed by gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the purified xylosidase was 83,000 D and the K(m) on p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xyloside was 0.047mM. The homogeneous xylanase (1,4-beta-D-xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) and beta-xylosidase showed differences in their mode of action towards xylooligosaccharides. The degree of hydrolysis of D-xylan by xylanase of N. crassa was 18%. Supplementation of beta-xylosidase from the same organism resulted in 48% hydrolysis. The synergistic effect was more pronounced, with the hydrolysis of 68%, when a homogeneous preparation of beta-xylosidase from Sclerotium rolfsii was added to the saccharification system. 相似文献

The endo-1,4-β-d-glucanase [cellulase, 1,4-(1,3:1,4)-β-d-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4] activity of two-day old culture filtrates of Penicillium janthinellum has been enhanced four-fold by incubating with a 10-day old culture filtrate of Penicillium funiculosum grown on the same medium. An inactive protein isolated by fractionation of two-day old culture filtrate of P. janthinellum using preparative isoelectric focusing, showed 30- to 50-fold enhancement of endo-1,4-β-d-glucanase activity. This fraction has been designated the ‘procellulase’ in the present paper. The purity of the procellulase was confirmed by analytical isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It had a molecular weight of 68 000 and an isoelectric point of pH 3.7. 相似文献

Severe mosaic, chlorotic ringspots and flower deformation were observed during the winter of November 2006–February 2007 on chrysanthemums ( Chrysanthemum morifolium ) at three locations in India: Lucknow (UP), Dhanbad (MP) and Kolkata (WB). Tomato aspermy virus (TAV) was detected in affected plants by ELISA and by RT-PCR using TAV specific primers. These TAV isolates were mechanically transmitted to test plant species and also by aphids ( Aphis gossypii ) to Lycopersicon esculentum . The complete RNA 3 of each TAV isolate was cloned and sequenced and determined to be 2386 nucleotides (nt) long, and to encode two open reading frames (ORFs): the movement protein (MP) of 741 nt and the coat protein (CP) of 657 nt translating in to 246 and 218 amino acid (aa), respectively. When RNA 3 sequences of the Indian isolates were multiple aligned with seven other strains of TAV occurring worldwide, Indian isolates shared 98–99% identities among themselves and with the KC, V, P, B, I and C strains of TAV. In phylogenetic analysis, the Lucknow and Kolkata isolates of TAV clustered together and showed a close relationship with the KC-TAV strain from South Korea, whereas the Dhanbad isolate formed an independent cluster and showed closeness with the V-TAV strains from Spain and Australia. Recombination events were also observed in the CP region of the Dhanbad isolate, supporting its diverse behaviour. This is the first report of the complete RNA 3 sequence of these three Indian TAV isolates. 相似文献

The maximal carboxymethyl cellulase, filter paper (FP) cellulase and -glucosidase activities achieved byPenicillium janthinellum grown in a fermenter were 60, 5 and 9 U/ml, respectively. Enzymic hydrolysis of 5m NaOH-pre-treated straw, cotton and FP was 57 to 58% in 48 h at 50°C, with glucose as the major product. 相似文献

High activity xylanase from thermotolerantStreptomyces T7: Cultural conditions and enzyme properties
Sulabha S. Keskar 《Biotechnology letters》1992,14(6):481-486
Summary A thermotolerantStreptomyces T7 produced 70–72 U/ml of extracellular xylanase activity when grown at 50°C in submerged culture, in à medium containing 5% wheat bran as a carbon source. Among the various sugars tested, maltose showed the highest activity of 8 U/ml. Pure xylan was less effective as an inducer as compared to wheat bran. Ammonium sulphate at a concentration of 0.7% was found to be optimum for maximum yield of the enzyme. The optimum period and pH for maximum production were 72th and 7.0, respectively. The culture filtrate was devoid of amylase, cellulase and B-xylosidase activity. The xylanase was exceptionally stable and did not show any loss in activity after storage at 50°C at pH 5.0 for 6 days. 相似文献

Neurospora crassa 870 produced 14 and 0.025 U of extracellular xylanase (1,4-beta-d-xylan xylanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.8) and beta-xylosidase (1,4-beta-xylan xylohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.37) per ml, respectively, in 4 days when commercial xylan was used as a carbon source. The effects of pH and carbon sources on xylanase production by N. crassa are discussed. Two xylanases (I and II) were purified and had pI values of 4.8 and 4.5 and molecular weights of 33,000 and 30,000. The maximum degree of hydrolysis of xylan by the extracellular culture broth was 66% in 4 h. The end products of xylan hydrolysis by xylanase I and II showed the presence of xylose, xylobiose, xylotriose, xylotetraose, xylopentose, and arabinose, indicating that they are endoxylanases capable of hydrolyzing 1,3-alpha-l-arabinofuranosyl branch points. Both xylanases showed activity toward carboxymethyl cellulose but no activity toward para-nitrophenyl-beta-d-xyloside or laminarin. Xylanase I showed appreciable activity toward para-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucoside, whereas xylanase II was inactive. 相似文献

Two strains of Neurospora crassa have been identified which utilize cellulase and produce extracellular cellulase [see 1,4-(1,3; 1,4)-β-d-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4] and β-d-glucosidase [β-d-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.21]. The activities were detected as early as 48 h in the culture broth. These cultures also fermented d-glucose, d-xylose and cellulosic materials to ethanol as the major product of fermentation. The conversion of cellulose to ethanol was >60%, indicating the potential of using Neurospora for the direct conversion of cellulose to ethanol. 相似文献

The feasibility of utilizing the rapidly growing tropical woods for ethanol production by Neurospora crassa has been studied. Hydrolysis of cold alkali pretreated wood gave a saccharification of 68% based on the available carbohydrate. The direct fermentation of pretreated wood (20 g l?1) by Neurospora crassa gave quantitative conversion of available hemicellulose/cellulose to ethanol in 5 days. Increasing the substrate concentration to 50 g l?1lowered the conversion to 40–60% yielding 12 g l?1of ethanol. Fermentation of wood (50 g l?1) pretreated with hot 1 m NaOH followed by neutralization with HCl gave only 6 g l?1of ethanol. 相似文献
