Abstract In the present study, a rabbit polyclonal antiserum against cell wall‐bound thionins from barley leaf and a mouse monoclonal antibody against hydroxyproline‐rich glycoproteins (HRGP) from maize were used to investigate the subcellular localization of thionins and HRGP or extensins in Fusarium culmorum‐infected wheat spikes by means of the immunogold labelling technique. The proteins were localized in cell walls of different tissues including the lemma, ovary and rachis, while the cytoplasm and organelles in these tissues showed almost no labelling. However, accumulation of thionins and HRGP in infected wheat spikes of resistant wheat cultivars differed distinctly from those of susceptible cultivars. Compared with the healthy tissues, labelling densities for the two types of proteins in cell walls of the infected lemma, ovary and rachis increased only slightly in the susceptible cultivar Agent, while in cell walls of infected tissues of the resistant cultivar Arina labelling densities of thionins and HRGP increased markedly. These findings indicated that accumulation of thionins and HRGP in cell walls of infected resistant wheat spikes may be involved in defence responses to infection and in spreading of F. culmorum. 相似文献

The infection process and pathway of spreading ofFusarium culmorum in wheat spikes was examined by means of light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy after spray inoculation and single spikelet inoculation. Macroconidia of the pathogen germinated on the host surfaces, however, hyphal development and penetration of host tissues normally occurred on the inner surfaces of the lemma, glume and palea as well as on the ovary. The pathogen spread downward to the rachilla and rachis node by inter- and intracellular growth from the glume, lemma, palea and ovary. The pathogen extended in the rachis in upward and downward direction by inter- and intracellular growth inside and outside of the vascular bundles of the rachis. The spreading of the hyphae in the host tissues was associated with pronounced alterations including disintegration and digestion of host cell walls, suggesting production of cell wall degrading enzymes during infection and spreading in the host tissues. Immunogold labelling studies revealed that accumulation ofFusarium toxins in infected wheat spike tissue showed a close relationship to pathological changes in the host cells, symptom appearance and pathogen colonisation of the host tissue.Fusarium toxins may play an important role in wheat head blight development. 相似文献

Recombinant xylanase preparations from Nonomuraea flexuosa (Nf Xyn, GH11) and Thermoascus aurantiacus (Ta Xyn, GH10) were evaluated for their abilities to hydrolyze hydrothermally pretreated wheat straw. The GH family 10 enzyme Ta Xyn was clearly more efficient in solubilizing xylan from pretreated wheat straw. Improvement of the hydrolysis of hydrothermally pretreated wheat straw by addition of the thermostable xylanase preparations to thermostable cellulases was evaluated. Clear synergistic enhancement of hydrolysis of cellulose was observed when cellulases were supplemented even with a low amount of pure xylanases. Xylobiose was the main hydrolysis product from xylan. It was found that the hydrolysis of cellulose increased nearly linearly with xylan removal during the enzymatic hydrolysis. The results also showed that the xylanase preparation from T. aurantiacus, belonging to GH family 10 always showed better hydrolytic capacity of solubilizing xylan and acting synergistically with thermostable cellulases in the hydrolysis of hydrothermally pretreated wheat straw. 相似文献

The activities of extracellular systems of hemicellulases, pectinases, and cellulases was studied during a 72-h cultivation of Geotrichum candidum 3C. The culture was grown on a medium containing 3% cell walls isolated from wheat grain capsules, which served as the sole carbon source. Enzymes catalyzing the degradation of pectin substances (beet pectin, alpha-L-arabinan, and 1,4-beta-D-galactan), as well as beta-D-galactosidase and alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase involved in their hydrolysis, were formed first (4 h after the beginning of cultivation). Enzymes hydrolyzing 4-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucurono-beta-D-xylan and sodium carboxymethyl xylan were also found in the culture liquid after 4 h of fungal growth. The contents of pectin-degrading and xylanolytic enzymes reached their maximum levels after 52-56 and 72 h of growth, respectively. Cellulolytic enzymes were detected after 8-28 h of cultivation. Enzymes degrading alpha-D-galacto-beta-D-mannan were found 24 h after the beginning of growth; their content was maximum after 72 h of cultivation. 相似文献

Plant cell walls are comprised of cellulose and hemicellulose and other polymers that are intertwined, and this complex structure presents a barrier to degradation by pure cellulases or hemicellulases. In this study, we determined the synergistic effects on corn cell wall degradation by the action of cellulosomal xylanase XynA and cellulosomal cellulases from Clostridium cellulovorans. XynA minicellulosomes and cellulase minicellulosomes were found to degrade corn cell walls synergistically but not purified substrates such as xylan and crystalline cellulose. The mixture of XynA and cellulases at a molar ratio of 1:2 showed the highest synergistic effect of 1.6 on corn cell wall degradation. The amounts both of xylooligosaccharides and cellooligosaccharides liberated from corn cell walls were increased by the synergistic action of XynA and cellulases. Although synergistic effects on corn cell wall degradation were found in simultaneous reactions with XynA and cellulases, no synergistic effects were observed in sequential reactions. The possible mechanism of synergism between XynA and cellulases is discussed. 相似文献

Lignocellulosic biomass contains cellulose and xylan as major structural components, and starch as a storage polysaccharide. In the present study, we have used comparative secretomic analysis to examine the effects of xylan and starch on the expression level of proteins secreted by the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium grown on cellulose,. Forty-seven spots of extracellular proteins expressed by P. chrysosporium separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis were identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Addition of starch to the cellulolytic culture did not affect fungal growth significantly, but did decrease the production of total extracellular enzymes, including cellulases and xylanases. In contrast, addition of xylan increased mycelial volume and the production of extracellular proteins. Xylan increased synthesis of several glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 10 putative endoxylanases and a putative glucuronoyl esterase belonging to carbohydrate esterase family 15, for which plant cell wall xylan may be a substrate. Moreover, cellobiose dehydrogenase and GH family 61 proteins, which are known to promote cellulose degradation, were also increased in the presence of xylan. These enzymes may contribute to degradation by the fungus of not only cellulose but also complex carbohydrate components of the plant cell wall. 相似文献

Ferulic acid: an antioxidant found naturally in plant cell walls and feruloyl esterases involved in its release and their applications 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ferulic acid is the most abundant hydroxycinnamic acid in the plant world and maize bran with 3.1% (w/w) ferulic acid is one of the most promising sources of this antioxidant. The dehydrodimers of ferulic acid are important structural components in the plant cell wall and serve to enhance its rigidity and strength. Feruloyl esterases are a subclass of the carboxylic acid esterases that hydrolyze the ester bond between hydroxycinnamic acids and sugars present in plant cell walls and they have been isolated from a wide range of microorganisms, when grown on complex substrates such as cereal brans, sugar beet pulp, pectin and xylan. These enzymes perform a function similar to alkali in the deesterification of plant cell wall and differ in their specificities towards the methyl esters of cinnamic acids and ferulolylated oligosaccharides. They act synergistically with xylanases and pectinases and facilitate the access of hydrolases to the backbone of cell wall polymers. The applications of ferulic acid and feruloyl esterase enzymes are many and varied. Ferulic acid obtained from agricultural byproducts is a potential precursor for the production of natural vanillin, due to the lower production cost. 相似文献

The activities and properties of cellulases and xylanases associated with Phragmites communis leaves were followed during the course of their decomposition from autumn to summer in a seawater lake. Cellulases and xylanases of low optimum pH (4 or less) were detected on aerial dead leaves before submergence. These enzymes remained on the leaves immediately after submergence, but were replaced by enzymes with a higher optimum pH (about 5.5 to 6.5), the activity of which increased rapidly during the initial two weeks. The enzyme activities then declined with water temperature until about day 100, but gradually increased again thereafter. This successive change in enzyme activities closely correlated with that of the decomposition rates of cellulose and xylan. The molecular weight distribution of the cellulases and xylanases changed markedly in the latter half of the experimental period, which suggested a change in the flora of active decomposer microorganisms. 相似文献

Plant cell walls are comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose and other polymers that are intertwined. This complex structure acts as a barrier to degradation by single enzyme. Thus, a cocktail consisting of bi and multifunctional xylanases and xylan debranching enzymes is most desired combination for the efficient utilization of these complex materials. Xylanases have prospective applications in the food, animal feed, and paper and pulp industries. Furthermore, in order to enhance feed nutrient digestibility and to improve wheat flour quality xylanase along with other glycohydrolases are often used. For these applications, a bifunctional enzyme is undoubtedly much more valuable as compared to monofunctional enzyme. The natural diversity of enzymes provides some candidates with evolved bifunctional activity. Nevertheless most resulted from the in vitro fusion of individual enzymes. Here we present bifunctional xylanases, their evolution, occurrence, molecular biology and potential uses in biotechnology. 相似文献

The distribution of extracellular 1,3‐β‐glucanase secreted by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt) was investigated in situ in inoculated wheat roots by immunogold labelling and transmission electron microscopy. Antiserum was prepared by subcutaneously injecting rabbits with purified 1,3‐β‐glucanase secreted by the pathogenic fungus. A specific antibody of 1,3‐β‐glucanase, anti‐GluGgt, was purified and characterized. Double immunodiffusion tests revealed that the antiserum was specific for 1,3‐β‐glucanase of Ggt, but not for 1,3‐β‐glucanase from wheat plants. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified and crude enzyme extract and immunoblotting showed that the antibody was monospecific for 1,3‐β‐glucanase in fungal extracellular protein populations. After incubation of ultrathin sections of pathogen‐infected wheat roots with anti‐1,3‐β‐glucanase antibody and the secondary antibody, deposition of gold particles occurred over hyphal cells and the host tissue. Hyphal cell walls and septa as well as membranous structures showed regular labelling with gold particles, while few gold particles were detected over the cytoplasm and other organelles such as mitochondria and vacuoles. In host tissues, cell walls in contact with the hyphae usually exhibited a few gold particles, whereas host cytoplasm and cell walls distant from the hyphae were free of labelling. Furthermore, over lignitubers in the infected host cells labelling with gold particles was detected. No gold particles were found over sections of non‐inoculated wheat roots. The results indicate that 1,3‐β‐glucanase secreted by Ggt may be involved in pathogenesis of the take‐all fungus through degradation of callose in postinfectionally formed cell wall appositions, such as lignitubers. 相似文献

The focus of this study was to alter the xylan content of corn stover and poplar using SO2‐catalyzed steam pretreatment to determine the effect on subsequent hydrolysis by commercial cellulase preparations supplemented with or without xylanases. Steam pretreated solids with xylan contents ranging from ~1 to 19% (w/w) were produced. Higher xylan contents and improved hemicellulose recoveries were obtained with solids pretreated at lower severities or without SO2‐addition prior to pretreatment. The pretreated solids with low xylan content (<4% (w/w)) were characterized by fast and complete cellulose to glucose conversion when utilizing cellulases. Commercial cellulases required xylanase supplementation for effective hydrolysis of pretreated substrates containing higher amounts of xylan. It was apparent that the xylan content influenced both the enzyme requirements for hydrolysis and the recovery of sugars during the pretreatment process. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Cellulase and xylanase activities in higher basidiomycetes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Extracellular carboxymethylcellulase, xylanase, beta-glucosidase, and beta-xylosidase activities of four cultures of higher basidial fungi were studied in relation to the source of carbon in the nutrient medium. It was shown that beta-glucosidases and beta-xylosidases of all basidiomycetes and cellulases and xylanases of Pholiota aurivella IBR437 and Gloeophyllum saepiarium IBR155, the causal agents of wood brown rot, are constitutive enzymes; however, their activities depend on the source of carbon in the growth medium. Cellulases and xylanases of Coriolus pubescens IBR663 and Lentinus tigrinus IBR100 degrading wood through white rot are inducible enzymes. The synthesis of cellulases and xylanases was induced upon fungal growth on media containing crystalline cellulose and plant raw materials; carboxymethylcellulose and xylan were less effective. The induction of C. pubescens IBR663 cellulase and xylanase was observed when avicel was added to the culture growing on a mannitol-containing medium. Glucose at a concentration of 0.2-0.8% caused catabolite repression of C. pubescens IBR663 cellulase and xylanase. After utilization of glucose, leading to a decrease in its concentration below 0.1%, the synthesis of enzymes was resumed. These data indicate that the synthesis of cellulases and xylanases in the examined macromycetes is under common regulatory control. 相似文献

The rumen: a unique source of enzymes for enhancing livestock production 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Increasing competition in the livestock industry has forced producers to cut costs by adopting new technologies aimed at increasing production efficiency. One particularly promising technology is feeding enzymes as supplements for animal diets. Supplementation of diets for non-ruminants (e.g., swine and poultry) with fibrolytic enzymes, such as cellulases, xylanases and beta-glucanases, increases the feed conversion efficiency and growth rate of the animals. Enzymatic hydrolysis of plant cell wall polymers (e.g., cellulose, xylan, beta-glucans) releases glucose and xylose and eliminates the antinutritional effects of beta-glucans and arabinoxylans. Enzyme supplementation of diets for ruminants has also been shown to improve growth performance, even though the rumen itself represents the most potent fibrolytic fermentation system known. Implementation of this technology in the livestock industry has been limited largely because of the cost of development and production of enzymes. Over the last decade, however, developments in recombinant DNA technology have increased the efficiency of existing microbial production systems and facilitated exploitation of alternative sources of industrial enzymes. The ruminal ecosystem is among the novel enzyme sources currently being explored. Understanding the role of enzymes in feed digestion through characterization of the enzymology and genetics involved in digestion of feedstuffs by ruminants will provide insight required to improve the products currently available to producers. Characterization of genes encoding a variety of hydrolytic enzymes, such as cellulases, xylanases, beta-glucanases, amylases, pectinases, proteases, phytases and tannases, will foster the development of more efficacious enzyme supplements and enzyme expression systems for enhancing nutrient utilization by domestic animals. Characteristics of the original source organism need no longer restrict the production of a useful enzyme. Recent reports of transgenic plants expressing fibrolytic or phytase activity and of transgenic mice able to produce endoglucanase in the pancreas speak to the feasibility of improving feed digestion through genetic modification of the feedstuffs and the animals. 相似文献

Secondary walls in vessels and fibers of dicotyledonous plants are mainly composed of cellulose, xylan, and lignin. Although genes involved in biosynthesis of cellulose and lignin have been intensively studied, little is known about genes participating in xylan synthesis. We found that Arabidopsis thaliana fragile fiber8 (fra8) is defective in xylan synthesis. The fra8 mutation caused a dramatic reduction in fiber wall thickness and a decrease in stem strength. FRA8 was found to encode a member of glycosyltransferase family 47 and exhibits high sequence similarity to tobacco (Nicotiana plumbaginifolia) pectin glucuronyltransferase. FRA8 is expressed specifically in developing vessels and fiber cells, and FRA8 is targeted to Golgi. Comparative analyses of cell wall polysaccharide fractions from fra8 and wild-type stems showed that the xylan and cellulose contents are drastically reduced in fra8, whereas xyloglucan and pectin are elevated. Further structural analysis of cell walls revealed that although wild-type xylans contain both glucuronic acid and 4-O-methylglucuronic acid residues, xylans from fra8 retain only 4-O-methylglucuronic acid, indicating that the fra8 mutation results in a specific defect in the addition of glucuronic acid residues onto xylans. These findings suggest that FRA8 is a glucuronyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of glucuronoxylan during secondary wall formation. 相似文献

A facultatively anaerobic bacterium, Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6, isolated from an anaerobic digester produces an extracellular xylanolytic-cellulolytic enzyme system containing xylanase, beta-xylosidase, arabinofuranosidase, acetyl esterase, mannanase, carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), avicelase, cellobiohydrolase, beta-glucosidase, amylase, and chitinase when grown on xylan under aerobic conditions. During growth on xylan, the bacterial cells were found to adhere to xylan from the early exponential growth phase to the late stationary growth phase. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed the adhesion of cells to xylan. The crude enzyme preparation was found to be capable of binding to insoluble xylan and Avicel. The xylanolytic-cellulolytic enzyme system efficiently hydrolyzed insoluble xylan, Avicel, and corn hulls to soluble sugars that were exclusively xylose and glucose. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of a crude enzyme preparation exhibited at least 17 proteins, and zymograms revealed multiple xylanases and cellulases containing 12 xylanases and 9 CMCases. The cellulose-binding proteins, which are mainly in a multienzyme complex, were isolated from the crude enzyme preparation by affinity purification on cellulose. This showed nine proteins by SDS-PAGE and eight xylanases and six CMCases on zymograms. Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration showed that the cellulose-binding proteins consisted of two multienzyme complexes with molecular masses of 1,450 and 400 kDa. The results indicated that the xylanolytic-cellulolytic enzyme system of this bacterium exists as multienzyme complexes. 相似文献

Thermobifida fusca grows well on cellulose and xylan, and produces a number of cellulases and xylanases. The gene encoding a previously unstudied endoxylanase, xyl10B, was overexpressed in E. coli, and the protein was purified and characterized. Mature Xyl10B is a 43-kDa glycohydrolase with a short basic domain at the C-terminus. It has moderate thermostability, maintaining 50% of its activity after incubation for 16 h at 62 degrees C, and is most active between pH 5 and 8. Xyl10B is produced by growth of T. fusca on xylan or Solka Floc but not on pure cellulose. Mass spectroscopic analysis showed that Xyl10B produces xylobiose as the major product from birchwood and oat spelts xylan and that its hydrolysis products differ from those of T. fusca Xyl11A. Xyl10B hydrolyzes various p-nitrophenyl-sugars, including p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-arabinofuranoside, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylobioside, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xyloside, and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside. Xyl11A has higher activity on xylan substrates, but Xyl10B produced more reducing sugars from corn fiber than did Xyl11A. 相似文献

Cellulase yields of 250 to 430 IU/g of cellulose were recorded in a new approach to solid-state fermentation of wheat straw with Trichoderma reesei QMY-1. This is an increase of ca. 72% compared with the yields (160 to 250 IU/g of cellulose) in liquid-state fermentation reported in the literature. High cellulase activity (16 to 17 IU/ml) per unit volume of enzyme broth and high yields of cellulases were attributed to the growth of T. reesei on a hemicellulose fraction during its first phase and then on a cellulose fraction of wheat straw during its later phase for cellulase production, as well as to the close contact of hyphae with the substrate in solid-state fermentation. The cellulase system obtained by the solid-state fermentation of wheat straw contained cellulases (17.2 IU/ml), β-glucosidase (21.2 IU/ml), and xylanases (540 IU/ml). This cellulase system was capable of hydrolyzing 78 to 90% of delignified wheat straw (10% concentration) in 96 h, without the addition of complementary enzymes, β-glucosidase, and xylanases. 相似文献

Summary Three pectinase—gold complexes were used to localize polygalacturonic acids in the fungusAscocalyx abietina (Lagerberg) Schlaepfer-Bernhard. With the pectinesterase and pectin lyase—gold complexes, the labelling was uniformly distributed over the fungus walls and did not seem to be significantly influenced by the tissue preparation. With the polygalacturonase—gold complex, differences in the labelling distribution were noted according to the fixation procedure indicating, therefore, that osmication of the tissues could greatly interfere with the localization of the specific enzyme binding sites. These results demonstrate, for the first time, the possibility of detecting polygalacturonic acids by means of different gold-complexed pectinases. 相似文献

Complex polysaccharides (e.g. cellulose, xylan, and chitin), the most abundant renewable biomass resources available on Earth, are mainly degraded by microorganisms in nature. However, little is known about the global distribution of the enzymes and microorganisms responsible for the degradation of cellulose, xylan, and chitin in natural environments. Through large-scale alignments between the sequences released by the Earth Microbiome Project and sequenced prokaryotic genomes, we determined that almost all prokaryotic communities have the functional potentials to degrade cellulose, xylan, and chitin. The median abundances of genes encoding putative cellulases, xylanases, and chitinases in global prokaryotic communities are 0.51 (0.17–1.01), 0.24 (0.05–0.57), and 0.33 (0.11–0.71) genes/cell, respectively, and the composition and abundance of these enzyme systems are environmentally varied. The taxonomic sources of the three enzymes are highly diverse within prokaryotic communities, and the main factor influencing the diversity is the community's alpha diversity index rather than gene abundance. Moreover, there are obvious differences in taxonomic sources among different communities, and most genera with degradation potentials are narrowly distributed. In conclusion, our analysis preliminarily depicts a panorama of cellulose-, xylan-, and chitin-degrading enzymatic systems across global prokaryotic communities. 相似文献
