The main alpha-glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.131) of the fungus Schizophyllum commune was purified to homogeneity using standard chromatographic methods; anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and gel filtration. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 125 kDa as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a pI value of 3.6 according to isoelectric focusing. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the S. commune alpha-glucuronidase did not show any homology with other alpha-glucuronidases. It exhibited maximal activity at pH values from 4.5 to 5.5 and was stable for 24 h between pH 6 and 8 at 40 degrees C. The highest temperature at which the enzyme retained its full activity for 24 h at pH 5.8 was 40 degrees C. The alpha-glucuronidase of S. commune was able to remove almost all 4-O-methylglucuronic acid groups from water-soluble polymeric softwood arabinoglucuronoxylans. The action of the enzyme on birchwood acetyl-glucuronoxylan was limited due to the high amount of acetyl substituents. The degree of hydrolysis of partially soluble deacetylated glucuronoxylan did not exceed 50% of the theoretical maximum. However, together with a xylanase hydrolysing the xylan backbone the action of the alpha-glucuronidase of S. commune on glucuronoxylan was clearly enhanced. It was apparent that the enzyme was able to remove the 4-O-methylglucuronic groups mainly from soluble substrates. 相似文献

Alpha-D-glucuronidase was isolated from the culture filtrate of Phlebia radiata grown on wheat bran and purified to homogeneity by chromatographic methods. The final enzymic preparation was purified 65-fold with an activity yield of 58%; it showed a high level of specific activity (over 23,000 nkat/mg protein). The molecular and hydrolytic properties of the purified enzyme were studied. The secreted alpha-glucuronidase had a molecular weight of 110 kDa, as established by gel permeation chromatography (GP HPLC), had a determined pI just below 4.4, and was stable at pH 5.5 for prolonged times. The carbohydrate content in protein molecules was found to be 15%. The activity of alpha-D-glucuronidase peaked at pH 3,8 and 60 degrees C with aldouronic acids preparation as the substrate. The Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)), the maximum reaction velocity (V(max)), and the activation energy (E(a)) were 0.18 mM, 0.13 microM/min and 5.91 kJ/mol, respectively. The alpha-glucuronidase was active mainly on small substituted xylooligomers. When this enzyme was used with endoxylanase for the degradation of oat xylan, synergistic effects were observed. 相似文献

Cloning, sequencing, and expression of the gene encoding an intracellular beta-D-xylosidase from Streptomyces thermoviolaceus OPC-520 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The intracellular beta-xylosidase was induced when Streptomyces thermoviolaceus OPC-520 was grown at 50 degrees C in a minimal medium containing xylan or xylooligosaccharides. The 82-kDa protein with beta-xylosidase activity was partially purified and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was analyzed. The gene encoding the enzyme was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The bxlA gene consists of a 2,100-bp open reading frame encoding 770 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of the bxlA gene product had significant similarity with beta-xylosidases classified into family 3 of glycosyl hydrolases. The bxlA gene was expressed in E. coli, and the recombinant protein was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme was a monomer with a molecular mass of 82 kDa. The purified enzyme showed hydrolytic activity towards only p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside among the synthetic glycosides tested. Thin-layer chromatography analysis showed that the enzyme is an exo-type enzyme that hydrolyze xylooligosaccharides, but had no activity toward xylan. High activity against pNPX occurred in the pH range 6.0-7.0 and temperature range 40-50 degrees C. 相似文献

A new alpha-glucuronidase that specifically hydrolyzed O-alpha-D-glucosyluronic acid alpha-D-glucosiduronic acid (trehalose dicarboxylate, TreDC) was purified from a commercial enzyme preparation from Aspergillus niger, and its properties were examined. The enzyme did not degrade O-alpha-D-glucosyluronic acid alpha-D-glucoside, O-alpha-D-glucosyluronic acid beta-D-glucosiduronic acid, O-alpha-D-glucosyluronic acid-(1-->2)-beta-D-fructosiduronic acid, p-nitrophenyl-O-alpha-D-glucosiduronic acid, methyl-O-alpha-D-glucosiduronic acid, or 6-O-alpha-(4-O-alpha-D-glucosyluronic acid)-D-glucosyl-beta-cyclodextrine. Furthermore, it showed no activity on alpha-glucuronyl linkages of 4-O-methyl-D-glucosyluronic acid-alpha-(1-->2)-xylooligosaccharides, derived from xylan, a supposed substrate of alpha-glucuronidases.The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 120 kDa by gel filtration and 58 kDa by SDS-PAGE suggesting, the enzyme is composed of two identical subunits. It was most active at pH 3.0-3.5 and at 40 degrees C. It was stable in pH 2.0-4.5 and below 30 degrees C. It hydrolyzed O-alpha-D-glucosyluronic acid alpha-D-glucosiduronic acid to produce alpha- and beta-anomers of D-glucuronic acid in an equimolar ratio. This result suggests that inversion of the anomeric configuration of the substrate is involved in the hydrolysis mechanism. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the Clostridium thermocellum F1 xynC gene, which encodes the xylanase XynC, consists of 1,857 bp and encodes a protein of 619 amino acids with a molecular weight of 69,517. XynC contains a typical N-terminal signal peptide of 32 amino acid residues, followed by a 165-amino-acid sequence which is homologous to the thermostabilizing domain. Downstream of this domain was a family 10 catalytic domain of glycosyl hydrolase. The C terminus separated from the catalytic domain by a short linker sequence contains a dockerin domain responsible for cellulosome assembly. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of XynC-II, the enzyme purified from a recombinant Escherichia coli strain, was in agreement with that deduced from the nucleotide sequence although XynC-II suffered from proteolytic truncation by a host protease(s) at the C-terminal region. Immunological and N-terminal amino acid sequence analyses disclosed that the full-length XynC is one of the major components of the C. thermocellum cellulosome. XynC-II was highly active toward xylan and slightly active toward p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and carboxymethyl cellulose. The Km and Vmax values for xylan were 3.9 mg/ml and 611 micromol/min/mg of protein, respectively. This enzyme was optimally active at 80 degrees C and was stable up to 70 degrees C at neutral pHs and over the pH range of 4 to 11 at 25 degrees C. 相似文献

Fibrobacter succinogenes produces an alpha-glucuronidase which cleaves 4-O-methyl-alpha-d-glucuronic acid from birch wood 4-O-methyl-alpha-d-glucuronoxylan. Very low levels of alpha-glucuronidase activity were detected in extracellular enzyme preparations of F. succinogenes on birch wood xylan substrate. The release of 4-O-methyl-alpha-d-glucuronic acid was enhanced when the birch wood xylan substrate was predigested by either a purified Schizophyllum commune xylanase or a cloned F. succinogenes S85 xylanase. These data suggest that the alpha-glucuronidase is unable to cleave 4-O-methyl-alpha-d-glucuronic acid from intact xylan but can act on unique low-molecular-weight glucuronoxylan fragments created by the cloned F. succinogenes xylanase. The cloned xylanase presumably must account for a small proportion of the indigenous xylanase activity of F. succinogenes cultures, since this xylanase source does not support high glucuronidase activity. The alpha-glucuronidase and associated hemicellulolytic enzymes exhibited higher activities in culture fluid from cells grown on ball-milled barley straw than in that of cellulose-grown cells. The profile of xylanases separated by isoelectric focusing (zymogram) of culture filtrate from cells grown on barley straw was more complex than that of culture filtrates from cells grown on cellulose. These data demonstrate that F. succinogenes produces an alpha-glucuronidase with an exacting substrate specificity which enables extensive cleavage of glucuronic acid residues from xylan as a consequence of synergistic xylanase action. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the Clostridium stercorarium F-9 xynC gene, encoding a xylanase XynC, consists of 3,093 bp and encodes a 1,031-amino acids with a molecular weight of 115,322. XynC is a multidomain enzyme composed of an N-terminal signal peptide and six domains in the following order: two thermostabilizing domains, a family 10 xylanase domain, a family IX cellulose-binding domain, and two S-layer homologous domains. Immunological analysis indicated the presence of XynC in the culture supernatant of C. stercorarium F-9 and in the cells, most likely on the cell surface. XynC purified from a recombinant E. coli was highly active toward xylan and slightly active toward p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and carboxymethylcellulose. XynC hydrolyzed xylan and xylooligosaccharides larger than xylotriose to produce xylose and xylobiose. This enzyme was optimally active at 85 degrees C and was stable up to 75 degrees C at pH 5.0 and over the pH range of 4 to 7 at 25 degrees C. 相似文献

The α-glucuronidase gene of Bacillus stearothermophilus No. 236 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene, designated aguA, encoded a 691-residue polypeptide with calculated molecular weight of 78,156 and pI of 5.34. The α-glucuronidase produced by a recombinant E. coli strain containing the aguA gene was purified to apparent homogeneity and characterized. The molecular weight of the α-glucuronidase was 77,000 by SDS-PAGE and 161,000 by gel filtration; the functional form of the α-glucuronidase therefore was dimeric. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were pH 6.5 and 40°C, respectively. The enzyme's half-life at 50°C was 50 min. The values for the kinetic parameters of Km and Vmax were 0.78 mM and 15.3 U/mg for aldotriouronic acid [2-O-α- (4-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranosyluronic)-D-xylobiose]. The α-glucuronidase acted mainly on small substituted xylo-oligomers and did not release methylglucuronic acid from intact xylan. Nevertheless, synergism in the release of xylose from xylan was found when α-glucuronidase was added to a mixture of endoxylanase and β-xylosidase. 相似文献

A method of purification of endo-(1-->4)-beta-xylanase (endoxylanase; EC 3.2.1.8) from the culture liquid of Geotrichum candidum 3C, grown for three days, is described. The enzyme purified 23-fold had a specific activity of 32.6 U per mg protein (yield, 14.4%). Endoxylanase was shown to be homogeneous by SDS-PAGE (molecular weight, 60 to 67 kDa). With carboxymethyl xylan as substrate, the optimum activity (determined viscosimetrically) was recorded at pH 4.0 (pI 3.4). The enzyme retained stability at pH 3.0-4.5 and 30-45 degrees C for 1 h. With xylan from beach wood, the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme (ability to saccharify the substrate) was maximum at 50 degrees C. In 72 h of exposure to 0.2 mg/ml endoxylanase, the extent of saccharification of xylans from birch wood, rye grain, and wheat straw amounted to 10, 12, and 7.7%, respectively. At 0.4 mg/ml, the extent of saccharification of birch wood xylan was as high as 20%. In the case of birch wood xylan, the initial hydrolysis products were xylooligosaccharides with degrees of polymerization in excess of four; the end products were represented by xylobiose, xylotriose, xylose, and acid xylooligosaccharides. 相似文献

The gene encoding endoxylanase (xynA) from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. A putative 33-amino-acid signal peptide, which corresponded to the N-terminal amino acids, was encoded by xynA. An open reading frame of 3,471 bp, corresponding to 1,157 amino acid residues, was found, giving the xynA gene product a molecular mass of 130 kDa. xynA from T. saccharolyticum B6A-RI had strong similarity to genes from family F beta-glycanases. The temperature and pH optimum for the activity of the cloned endoxylanase were 70 degrees C and 5.5, respectively. The cloned endoxylanase A was stable at 75 degrees C for 60 min and displayed a specific activity of 227.4 U/mg of protein on oat spelt xylan. The cloned xylanase was an endo-acting enzyme. 相似文献

A mannanase was purified from a cell-free extract of the recombinant Escherichia coli carrying a Bacillus subtilis WL-3 mannanase gene. The molecular mass of the purified mannanase was 38 kDa as estimated by SDS-PAGE. Optimal conditions for the purified enzyme occurred at pH 6.0 and 60 degrees C. The specific activity of the purified mannanase was 5,900 U/mg on locust bean gum (LBG) galactomannan at pH 6.0 and 50 degrees C. The activity of the enzyme was slightly inhibited by Mg(2+), Ca(2+), EDTA and SDS, and noticeably enhanced by Fe(2+). When the enzyme was incubated at 4 degrees C for one day in the presence of 3 mM Fe(2+), no residual activity of the mannanase was observed. The enzyme showed higher activity on LBG and konjac glucomannan than on guar gum galactomannan. Furthermore, it could hydrolyze xylans such as arabinoxylan, birchwood xylan and oat spelt xylan, while it did not exhibit any activities towards carboxymethylcellulose and para-nitrophenyl-beta-mannopyranoside. The predominant products resulting from the mannanase hydrolysis were mannose, mannobiose and mannotriose for LBG or mannooligosaccharides including mannotriose, mannotetraose, mannopentaose and mannohexaose. The enzyme could hydrolyze mannooligosaccharides larger than mannobiose. 相似文献

A new xylanase gene, xynAS9, was cloned from Streptomyces sp. S9, which was isolated from Turpan Basin, China. The full-length gene consists of 1,395 bp and encodes 465 amino acids including 38 residues of a putative signal peptide. The overall amino acid sequence shares the highest identity (50.8%) with a putative endo-1,4-beta-xylanase from Streptomyces avermitilis of the glycoside hydrolase family 10. The gene fragment encoding the mature xylanase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant protein was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity and subsequently characterized. The optimal pH and temperature for the recombinant enzyme were 6.5 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme showed broad temperature adaptability, retaining more than 65% of the maximum activity when assayed at 50-80 degrees C. The enzyme also had good thermal and pH stability. The K (m) values for oat spelt xylan and birchwood xylan substrates were 2.85 and 2.43 mg ml(-1), with the V (max) values of 772.20 and 490.87 mumol min(-1) mg(-1), respectively. The hydrolysis products of xylan were mainly xylose and xylobiose. These favorable properties should make XynAS9 a good candidate in various industrial applications. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to identify a novel 1,4-beta-xylanase gene from the mixed genome DNA of human fecal bacteria without bacterial cultivation. Total DNA was isolated from a population of bacteria extracted from fecal microbiota. Using PCR, the gene fragments encoding 5 different family 10 xylanases (xyn10A, xyn10B, xyn10C, xyn10D, and xyn10E) were found. Amino acid sequences deduced from these genes were highly homologous with those of xylanases from anaerobic intestinal bacteria such as Bacteroides spp. and Prevotella spp. Self-organizing map (SOM) analysis revealed that xynA10 was classified into Bacteroidetes. To confirm that one of these genes encodes an active enzyme, a full-length xyn10A gene was obtained using nested primers specific to the internal fragments and random primers. The xyn10A gene encoding the xylanase Xyn10A consists of 1146 bp and encodes a protein of 382 amino acids and a molecular weight of 43,552. Xyn10A was a single module novel xylanase. Xyn10A was purified from a recombinant Escherichia coli strain and characterized. This enzyme was optimally active at 40 degrees C and stable up to 50 degrees C at pH 6.5 and over the pH range 4.0-11.0 at 25 degrees C. In addition, 2 ORFs (ORF1 and ORF2) were identified upstream of xyn10A. These results suggested that many unidentified xylanolytic bacteria exist in the human gut and may contribute to the breakdown of xylan which contains dietary fiber. 相似文献

A lambda phage genomic library of Aeromonas caviae ME-1, a multiple-xylanase-producing bacterium, was screened for xylan degradation activities. We isolated one clone, B65, which had weak xylanase activity, by the DNS method, but gave no visible bands on zymogram assay using SDS-xylan-PAGE. Based on TLC analyses of enzymatic products and some glycosidase assays using p-nitrophenyl substrates, we established that pB65 encodes a beta-xylosidase gene. In the nucleotide sequence analysis, we found a 2190-bp open reading frame (ORF) named xysB. XysB protein is similar to some beta-xylosidases, which are categorized in the glycosyl hydrolase family 52. Another ORF (xyg), that showed similarity to the family 67 alpha-glucuronidase, was also found downstream of the xysB gene. The xysB ORF and its promoter region were cloned into the pT7-Blue vector and the transformant cells had beta-xylosidase activity. The relative molecular mass were estimated to be 75 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 159 kDa by gel filtration. These data showed that XysB has a dimeric structure of 80,697 Da subunits. This enzyme showed optimal activity at 50 degrees C and pH 6.0. It was stable below 40 degrees C and pH 5-8. The Km and Vmax were calculated to be 0.34 mM and 33 nmol x min(-1) x microg(-1), respectively. This enzyme also showed transglycosylation activity against X3 and produced X4 and X5. 相似文献

A Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 gene that encodes endoglucanase hydrolysing CMC and xylan was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli DH5 by using pUC19 vector. Recombinant plasmid DNA from a positive clone hydrolysing CMC and xylan was designated as pCMX1, harboring 2,043 bp insert. The entire nucleotide sequence was determined, and an open-reading frame (ORF) was deduced. The nucleotide sequence accession number of the cloned gene sequence in Genbank is U94826. The endoglucanase gene cloned in this study does not have amino sequence homology to the other endoglucanase genes from F. succinogenes S85, but does show sequence homology to family 5 (family A) of glycosyl hydrolases from several species. The ORF encodes a polypeptide of 654 amino acids with a measured molecular weight of 81.3 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Putative signal sequences, Shine-Dalgarno-type ribosomal binding site and promoter sequences (-10) related to the consensus promoter sequences were deduced. The recombinant endoglucanase by E. coli harboring pCMX1 was partially purified and characterized. N-terminal sequences of endoglucanase were Ala-Gln-Pro-Ala-Ala, matched with deduced amino sequences. The temperature range and pH for optimal activity of the purified enzyme were 55 approximately 65 degrees C and 5.5, respectively. The enzyme was most stable at pH 6 but unstable under pH 4 with a K(m) value of 0.49% CMC and a V(max) value of 152 U/mg. 相似文献

Two endo-xylanases (1,4-beta-D-xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) were purified to homogeneity from a crude Aspergillus niger pentosanase preparation by Ultrogel AcA 54 gel permeation chromatography, SP-Sephadex C-25 cation exchange chromatography at pH 4.5, Sephadex G-50 gel permeation chromatography, and a second SP-Sephadex C-25 step, this one at pH 5.8. The two xylanases hydrolyzed soluble xylan more rapidly than insoluble branched xylan, but attacked each substance to an equal extent. Their low activity on a linear xylooligosaccharide mixture and absence of activity on insoluble xylan freed of branches suggest that the xylanases require a branch point nearby for significant attack. No xylose or L-arabinose was produced, the major products of low molecular weight being tri- and pentasaccharides and smaller amounts of di-, tetra-, and hexasaccharides. There was low activity on untreated and crystalline cellulose and on carboxymethylcellulose and no activity on other polysaccharides tested. These two xylanases had molecular weights of ca. 1.3 x 10(4) and similar amino acid profiles, high in acidic and low in sulfur-containing residues. Isoelectric points were 8.6 for I and 9.0 for II. Optimum pH values for activity were 6.0 and 5.5, respectively. In a 20-min assay at pH 5.5, each was most active at 45 degrees C, with activation energies up to 40 degrees C of 30.4 and 38.8 kJ/ mol, respectively. Optimum pH levels for stability were 5.0 and 6.0, with half-lives at 60 degrees C and those pHs of 20 and 75 min, respectively. 相似文献

An endo-xylanase (1,4-beta-D-xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) from Aspergillus niger was purified to homogeneity by chromatography with Ultrogel AcA 54, SP-Sephadex C-25 at pH 4.5, DEAE-Sephadex A-25 at pH 5.4, Sephadex G-50, and DEAE-Sephadex A-25 at pH 5.15. The enzyme was active on soluble xylan, on insoluble xylan only after arabinosyl-initiated branch points were removed, and on xylooligosaccharides longer than xylotetraose. There was slight activity on carboxymethyl-cellulose, arabinogalactan, glucomannan, and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The main products of the hydrolysis of soluble and insoluble xylan were oligosaccharides of intermediate length, especially the tri- and pentasaccharides. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 3.65. It had a molecular weight of 2.8 x 10(4) by SDS-gel electrophoresis, and was high in acidic amino acids but low in those containing sulfur. Highest activity in a 20-min assay at pH 5 was between 40 and 45 degrees C, with an activation energy up to 40 degrees C of 11.1 kJ/mol. The optimum pH for activity was at 5.0. The enzyme was strongly activated by Ca(2+). 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of two thermostable xylanases from an alkaliphilic Bacillus firmus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Two genes encoding thermostable xylanases, named xyn10A and xyn11A, from an alkaliphilic Bacillus firmus were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The E. coli harboring either gene showed clear zone with Congo red clearance assay on xylan plate. The Xyn10A and Xyn11A have molecular weights of 45 and 23kDa, respectively, and both show activities on xylan-zymogram. The xyn10A encodes 396 amino acid residues and is very similar to an alkaliphilic xylanase A from alkaliphilic Bacillus halodurans. The Xyn11A contains 210 amino acid residues and only one amino acid different from an endo-beta-1,4-xylanase from B. halodurans. From alignment of the amino acid sequences with other xylanases, Xyn10A and Xyn11A belong to family 10 and 11 glycosyl hydrolases, respectively. Both show activities over the pH range of 4-11 at 37 degrees C and over 80% activities at 70 degrees C. Interestingly both still retain over 70% activities after 16h preincubation at 62 degrees C. 相似文献
