The gene encoding a xylanase from Geobacillus sp. 71 was isolated, cloned, and sequenced. Purification of the Geobacillus sp 7.1 xylanase, XyzGeo71, following overexpression in E. coli produced an enzyme of 47 kDa with an optimum temperature of 75°C. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 8.0, but it is active over a broad pH range. This protein showed the highest sequence identity (93%) with the xylanase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans NG80-2. XyzGeo71 contains a catalytic domain that belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 10 (GH10). XyzGeo71 exhibited good pH stability, remaining stable after treatment with buffers ranging from pH 7.0 to 11.0 for 6 h. Its activity was partially inhibited by Al3+ and Cu2+ but strongly inhibited by Hg2+. The enzyme follows Michaelis–Menten kinetics, with Km and Vmax values of 0.425 mg xylan/ml and 500 μmol/min.mg, respectively. The enzyme was free from cellulase activity and degraded xylan in an endo fashion. The action of the enzyme on oat spelt xylan produced xylobiose and xylotetrose.  相似文献

A metagenomic library containing ca. 3.06 × 108 bp insert DNA was constructed from a rice straw degrading enrichment culture. A xylanase gene, umxyn10A, was cloned by screening the library for xylanase activity. The encoded enzyme Umxyn10A showed 58% identity and 73% similarity with a xylanase from Thermobifida fusca YX. Sequence analyses showed that Umxyn10A contained a glycosyl hydrolase family 10 catalytic domain. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified and characterized biochemically. Recombinant Umxyn10A was highly active toward xylan. However, the purified enzyme could slightly hydrolyze β-1,3/4-glucan and β-1,3/6-glucan. Umxyn10A displayed maximal activity toward oat spelt xylan at a high temperature (75°C) and weak acidity (pH 6.5). The K m and V max of Umxyn10A toward oat spelt xylan were 3.2 mg ml−1 and 0.22 mmol min−1 mg−1 and were 2.7 mg ml−1 and 1.0 mmol min−1 mg−1 against birchwood xylan, respectively. Metal ions did not appear to be required for the catalytic activity of this enzyme. The enzyme Umxyn10A could efficiently hydrolyze birchwood xylan to release xylobiose as the major product and a negligible amount of xylose. The xylanase identified in this work may have potential application in producing xylobiose from xylan.  相似文献

Summary A third extracellular xylanase produced by Streptomyces lividans 66 was isolated from a clone obtained by shotgun cloning through functional complementation of a xylanase- and cellulase-negative mutant using the multicopy vector pIJ702. This enzyme, designated xylanase C, has a relative molecular mass of 22000 and acts on xylan similarly to xylanase B as an endo-type xylanase producing short-chain oligoxylosides. Its specific activity determined at 1100 IU·mg–1 of protein corresponds on a molecular basis to that of xylanase B and is about three times that of xylanase A. The enzyme shows optimal activity at pH 6.0 and 57°C, values that correspond closely to those observed previously for xylanase A and B. Xylanase C appears not to be glycosylated and has a pI > 10.25. Its K m and V max on birchwood xylan are 4.1 mg·ml–1 and 3.0 mol·min–1·mg–1 of enzyme respectively. Whereas specific antibodies raised against xylanase A show no cross-reaction with either xylanase B or with xylanase C, the anti-(xylanase C) antibodies react slightly with xylanase B but not with xylanase A. A comparison of hydrolysis products obtained by reacting individually the three enzymes with birchwood xylan showed characteristic endo-activity patterns for xylanases B and C, whereas xylanase A hydrolysed the substrate preferentially into xylobiose and xylotriose. Sequential xylanase action on the same substrates showed synergistic hydrolysis only when endo-xylanase activity was followed by that of xylanase A.  相似文献

Thermoalkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain TAR-1 isolated from soil produced an extracellular xylanase. The enzyme (xylanase R) was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation and anion-exchange chromatography. The molecular mass of xylanase R was 40 kDa and the isoelectric point was 4.1. The enzyme was most active over the range of pH 5.0 to 10.0 at 50°C. The optimum temperatures for activity were 75°C at pH 7.0 and 70°C at pH 9.0. Xylanase R was stable up to 65°C at pH 9.0 for 30 min in the presence of xylan. Mercury(ll) ion at 1 mM concentration abolished all the xylanase activity. The predominant products of xylan-hydrolysate were xylobiose, xylotriose, and higher oligosaccharides, indicating that xylanase R was an endo-acting enzyme. Xylanase R had a Km of 0.82 mg/ml and a Vmax of 280 μmol min−1 mg−1 for xylan at 50°C and pH 9.0.  相似文献

An amylase was purified from the culture filtrate ofTermitomyces clypeatus by ammonium sulphate precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex chromatography and gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-200 column. The electrophoretically homogeneous preparation also exhibited hydrolytic activity (in a decreasing order) on amylose, xylan, amylopectin, glycogen, arabinogalactan and arabinoxylan. The enzyme had characteristically endo-hydrolytic activity on all the substrates tested and no xylose, glucose, arabinose or glucuronic acid could be detected even after prolonged enzymatic digestion of the polysaccharides. Interestingly the enzyme had similar pH optima (5.5), temperature optima (55°C), pH stability (pH 3–10) and thermal denaturation kinetics when acted on both starch and xylan (larch wood) .K m values were found to be 2.63 mg/ml for amylase and 6.25 mg/ml for xylanase activity. Hill’s plot also indicated that the enzyme contained a single active site for both activities. Hg2+ was found to be most potent inhibitor. Ca2+, a common activator for amylase activity, appeared to be an inhibitor for this enzyme. Thus it appeared that the enzyme had multisubstrate specificity acting as α-amylase on starch and also acting as xylanase on side chain oligosaccharides of xylan containing α-linked sugars.  相似文献

An acidic xylanase from a culture filtrate of Aspergillus nidulans grown on oat-spelt xylan was purified to apparent homogeneity. The purified enzyme showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a molecular mass of 34,000 Da and had an isoelectric point of approximately 3.4. The enzyme was a non-debranching endoxylanase highly specific for xylans. The xylanase showed an optimal activity at pH 6.0 and 56° C and had a Michaelis constant Km of 0.97 mg oat-spelt xylan (soluble fraction) ml and a maximed reaction velocity (Vmax) of 1,091 mol min–1 (mg–1protein)–1. Using polyclonal antibodies raised against the purified enzyme, the regulation of its synthesis has been studied. The xylanase production is repressed by glucose and induced by oat-spelt xylan, arabinoxylan, 4-O-methylglucurono-xylan, birchwood xylan and xylose.  相似文献

Bacillus sp. NTU-06 was used to produce xylanase, which is an important industrial enzyme used in the pulp and paper industry. The enzyme was purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and had a molecular mass of 24 kDa. The enzyme was active over a concentration range of 0–20% sodium chloride in culture broth, although its activity was optimal in 5% sodium chloride. A salinity stability test showed that 43% of the enzyme activity was retained after 4 h in 20% sodium chloride. Xylanase activity was maximal at pH 8.0 and 40°C. The enzyme was somewhat thermostable, retaining 20% of the original activity after incubation at 70°C for 4 h. The xylanase had Km and Vmax values of 3.45 mg mL−1 and 387.3 µmol min−1mg−1, respectively. The deduced internal amino acid sequence of Bacillus sp. NTU-06 xylanase resembled the sequence of beta-1,4-endoxylanase, which is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 11. Some of the novel characteristics that make this enzyme potentially effective in xylan biodegradation are discussed.  相似文献

Escherichia coli-expressed a hybrid xylanase, Btx, encoded by a designed hybrid xylanase gene btx was purified. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 22 kDa. The K m and k cat values for Btx were 1.9 mg/ml and 140 s−1, respectively. It hydrolyzed xylan principally to xylobiose and xylotriose, and was functionally similar to family 11 xylanases. As some differences were found in the hydrolytic products between birchwood xylan and wheat bran insoluble xylan, the xylan binding domains in xylanase Btx must have different effects on soluble and insoluble xylan.  相似文献

Delignification efficacy of xylanases to facilitate the consequent chemical bleaching of Kraft pulps has been studied widely. In this work, an alkaline and thermally stable cellulase-less xylanase, derived from a xylanolytic Bacillus subtilis, has been purified by a combination of gel filtration and Q-Sepharose chromatography to its homogeneity. Molecular weight of the purified xylanase was 61 kDa by SDS–PAGE. The purified enzyme revealed an optimum assay temperature and pH of 60°C and 8.0, respectively. Xylanase was active in the pH range of 6.0–9.0 and stable up to 70°C. Divalent ions like Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ enhanced xylanase activity, whereas Hg2+, Fe2+, and Cu2+ were inhibitory to xylanase at 2 mM concentration. It showed K m and V max values of 9.5 mg/ml and 53.6 μmol/ml/min, respectively, using birchwood xylan as a substrate. Xylanase exhibited higher values of turn over number (K cat) and catalytic efficiency (K cat/K m) with birchwood xylan than oat spelt xylan. Bleach-boosting enzyme activity at 30 U/g dry pulp displayed the optimum bio-delignification of Kraft pulp resulting in 26.5% reduction in kappa number and 18.5% ISO induction in brightness at 55°C after 3 h treatment. The same treatment improved the pulp properties including tensile strength and burst index, demonstrating its potential application in pre-bleaching of Kraft pulp.  相似文献

An extracellular xylanase from the fermented broth of Bacillus cereus BSA1 was purified and characterized. The enzyme was purified to 3.43 fold through ammonium sulphate precipitation, DEAE cellulose chromatography and followed by gel filtration through Sephadex-G-100 column. The molecular mass of the purified xylanse was about 33 kDa. The enzyme was an endoxylanase as it initially degraded xylan to xylooligomers. The purified enzyme showed optimum activity at 55°C and at pH 7.0 and remained reasonably stable in a wide range of pH (5.0–8.0) and temperature (40–65°C). The K m and V max values were found to be 8.2 mg/ml and 181.8 μmol/(min mg), respectively. The enzyme had no apparent requirement of cofactors, and its activity was strongly inhibited by Cu2+, Hg2+. It was also a salt tolerant enzyme and stable upto 2.5 M of NaCl and retained its 85% activity at 3.0 M. For stability and substrate binding, the enzyme needed hydrophobic interaction that revealed when most surfactants inhibited xylanase activity. Since the enzyme was active over wide range of pH, temperature and remained active in higher salt concentration, it could find potential uses in biobleaching process in paper industries.  相似文献

Pichia stipitis strain NRRL Y-11,543 was mutagenized with N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) to improve xylanolytic activity. A total of 20,000 mutants were screened for xylanase overproduction by observing the clear zones around the colonies on remazol-briliant-blue-xylan (RBB-xylan)-containing agar. Of 94 mutants isolated 11 of them were found to have enhanced xylanase activity compared to the parental strain. The most active mutant NP54376 had superior properties to the wild type which included: double the enzyme activity of wild type, a shorter generation time of 2.22 h compared to 3.13 h when grown on xylan, and an enhanced growth and yield of xylanase when low levels of xylose were added to the medium. Zymogram analysis of the crude enzyme preparations from both NP54376 and the wild type by isoelectric focusing showed multiple bands ranging between pI 4.2 and 7.4. No significant difference was observed in the K m and V max values of the parental strain and NP54376. K m and V max values of xylanase for birchwood xylan were 4.2 mg ml−1 and 0.08 μmol min−1 mg−1 of protein, respectively. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Hemicellulose represents a rich source of biomass that can be converted into useful chemical feedstocks. One of the main components of hemicellulose is xylan, a polymer of xylose residues. Xylanase enzymes that hydrolyze xylan are therefore of great commercial interest. We have cloned a gene (xyn11A) that encodes a 283-amino acid xylanase enzyme from the fungus Lentinula edodes. The enzyme has a pI of 4.6 and belongs to the highly conserved glycosyl hydrolase family 11. The xylanase gene was cloned into a Pichia pastoris expression vector that secretes active enzyme into both solid and liquid media. The optimal reaction conditions were at pH 4.5 and 50°C. The enzyme had a Km of 1.5 mg/ml and a Vmax of 2.1 mmol/min/mg. Xyn11A produced primarily xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylotetraose from a birchwood xylan substrate. This is the first report on the cloning of a hemicellulase gene from L. edodes.  相似文献

A new acidophilic xylanase (XYN11A) from Penicillium oxalicum GZ-2 has been purified, identified and characterized. Synchronized fluorescence spectroscopy was used for the first time to evaluate the influence of metal ions on xylanase activity. The purified enzyme was identified by MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometry, and its gene (xyn11A) was identified as an open reading frame of 706 bp with a 68 bp intron. This gene encodes a mature protein of 196 residues with a predicted molecular weight of 21.3 kDa that has the 100 % identity with the putative xylanase from the P. oxalicum 114-2. The enzyme shows a structure comprising a catalytic module family 10 (GH10) and no carbohydrate-binding module family. The specific activities were 150.2, 60.2, and 72.6 U/mg for beechwood xylan, birchwood xylan, and oat spelt xylan, respectively. XYN11A exhibited optimal activity at pH 4.0 and remarkable pH stability under extremely acidic condition (pH 3). The specific activity, K m and V max values were 150.2 U/mg, 30.7 mg/mL, and 403.9 μmol/min/mg for beechwood xylan, respectively. XYN11A is a endo-β-1,4-xylanase since it release xylobiose and xylotriose as the main products by hydrolyzing xylans. The activity of XYN11A was enhanced 155 % by 1 mM Fe2+ ions, but was inhibited strongly by Fe3+. The reason of enhancing the xylanase activity of XYN11A with 1 mM Fe2+ treatment may be responsible for the change of microenvironment of tryptophan residues studied by synchronous fluorescence spectrophotometry. Inhibition of the xylanase activity by Fe3+ was first time demonstrated to associate tryptophan fluorescence quenching.  相似文献

An xylanase producing alkaliphilic Micrococcus sp was isolated from an alkaline soda lake. Xylose and xylan induced enzyme production but no activity was detected when it was grown using other carbohydrate sources. The level of xylanase production was higher in the presence of xylose than in the presence of xylan. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity and its molecular weight was estimated to be 56 kD on SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH for xylanase activity were 55°C and 7.5–9.0, respectively. Sixty per cent of the maximum activity was displayed at pH 11. The enzyme was very stable in the pH range of 6.5–10 and up to a temperature of 40°C. Xylanase activity was inhibited by Cu2+ and Hg2+.

Summary Xylanase from Scytalidium thermophilum was immobilized on Eudragit L-100, a pH sensitive copolymer of methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate. The enzyme was non-covalently immobilized and the system expressed 70% xylanase activity. The immobilized preparation had broader optimum temperature of activity between 55 and 65 °C as compared to 65 °C in case of free enzyme and broader optimum pH between 6.0 and 7.0 as compared to 6.5 in case of free enzyme. Immobilization increased the t1/2 of enzyme at 60 °C from 15 to 30 min with a stabilization factor of 2. The Km and Vmax values for the immobilized and free xylanase were 0.5% xylan and 0.89 μmol/ml/min and 0.35% xylan and 1.01 μmol/ml/min respectively. An Arrhenius plot showed an increased value of activation energy for immobilized xylanase (227 kcal/mol) as compared to free xylanase (210 kcal/mol) confirming the higher temperature stability of the free enzyme. Enzymatic saccharification of xylan was also improved by xylanase immobilization.  相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of chickpea, comprises eight pathogenic races and two pathotypes. Races 0 and 5, representative of the least virulent yellowing pathotype and the most virulent wilt pathotype, respectively, produced extracellular xylanases when grown on minimal medium supplemented with either 1% commercial birchwood xylan or 0.3% chickpea cell walls. The pattern of extracellular proteins analysed by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the two media presented some minor but distinctive differences between fungal races. By preparative isoelectrofocusing, the xylanase activity in cell wall-culture filtrates could be resolved into basic and neutral fractions with pI values around to 10 and 8, respectively, whereas the xylan-culture filtrates contained an additional acidic fraction of pI around 4. A common major xylanase was purified 7-fold to homogeneity by cation-exchange chromatography and chromatofocusing. The purified xylanase has a molecular weight of 21.6 kDa, optimum pH and temperature of 5.5 and 55 °C, respectively, pI in the range of 8.2 to 9.0, and Km and Vmax values of 2.24 mg ml–1 (birchwood xylan as substrate) and 1200 nkat mg–1 protein (72 U mg–1 protein), respectively. The enzyme has an endo mode of action, hydrolysing xylan to xylobiose and higher short-chain xylooligosaccharides without forming free xylose.  相似文献

The purified extracellular xylanase of polyextremophilic Bacillus halodurans TSEV1 has been visualized as a single band on SDS-PAGE and eluted as single peak by gel filtration, with a molecular mass of 40 kDa. The peptide finger print and cloned xylanase gene sequence analyses indicate that this enzyme belongs to GH family 10. The active site carboxyl residues are mainly involved in catalysis, while tryptophan residues are involved in substrate binding. The enzyme is optimally active at 80 °C and pH 9.0, and stable in the pH range of 7.0–12.0 with T 1/2 of 35 min at 80 °C (pH 9.0). Activation energy for birch wood xylan hydrolysis is 30.51 kJ mol?1. The K m, V max and k cat (birchwood xylan) are 2.05 mg ml?1, 333.33 μmol mg?1 min?1 and 3.33 × 104 min?1, respectively. The pKa1 and pKa2 of ionizable groups of the active site that influence V max are 8.51 and 11.0. The analysis of thermodynamic parameters for xylan hydrolysis suggests this as a spontaneous process. The enzyme is resistant to chemical denaturants like urea and guanidinium-HCl. The site-directed mutagenesis of catalytic glutamic acid residues (E196 and E301) resulted in a complete loss of activity. The birch wood xylan hydrolyzate contained xylobiose and xylotriose as the main products without any trace of xylose, and the enzyme hydrolyzes xylotetraose and xylopentaose rapidly to xylobiose. Thermo-alkali-stability, resistance to various chemical denaturants and mode of action make it a useful biocatalyst for generating xylo-oligosaccharides from agro-residues and bleaching of pulp in paper industries.  相似文献

A xylanase gene xyn10A was isolated from the human gut bacterium Bacteroides xylanisolvens XB1A and the gene product was characterized. Xyn10A is a 40-kDa xylanase composed of a glycoside hydrolase family 10 catalytic domain with a signal peptide. A recombinant His-tagged Xyn10A was produced in Escherichia coli and purified. It was active on oat spelt and birchwood xylans and on wheat arabinoxylans. It cleaved xylotetraose, xylopentaose, and xylohexaose but not xylobiose, clearly indicating that Xyn10A is a xylanase. Surprisingly, it showed a low activity against carboxymethylcellulose but no activity at all against aryl-cellobioside and cellooligosaccharides. The enzyme exhibited K m and V max of 1.6 mg ml−1 and 118 μmol min−1 mg−1 on oat spelt xylan, and its optimal temperature and pH for activity were 37°C and pH 6.0, respectively. Its catalytic properties (k cat/K m = 3,300 ml mg−1 min−1) suggested that Xyn10A is one of the most active GH10 xylanase described to date. Phylogenetic analyses showed that Xyn10A was closely related to other GH10 xylanases from human Bacteroides. The xyn10A gene was expressed in B. xylanisolvens XB1A cultured with glucose, xylose or xylans, and the protein was associated with the cells. Xyn10A is the first family 10 xylanase characterized from B. xylanisolvens XB1A.  相似文献

 Using recombinant DNA techniques, an Aspergillus nidulans multicopy transformant for the gene xlnB coding for the minor X24 xylanase has been constructed. When grown on glucose as sole carbon source this transformant secretes 114 U of xylanase (mg protein)-1. In this culture condition, X24 is the only xylanase secreted and the predominant protein in the culture filtrate. This strategy has been used to purify the X24 enzyme to homogeneity. The purified xylanase showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate/ polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a molecular mass of 24 kDa and had an isoelectric point of approximately 3.5. The enzyme was a non-debranching endo-1,4-β-xylan xylanohydrolase highly specific for xylans and showed optimal activity at pH 5.5 and 52°C. The X24 xylanase had a Michaelis constant, K m, of 12.43 mg oat spelt xylan ml-1 and a V max of 1639 μmol min-1 (mg protein)-1.

Summary An extracellular xylanase was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of a thermophilic Bacillus sp. The molecular weight of the purified xylanase was 44 kDa, as analysed by SDS/PAGE. The enzyme reaction followed Michaelis–Menten kinetics with Kmapp and Vmax values of 0.025 mg/ml and 450 U/mg protein, respectively, as obtained from a Lineweaver–Burk plot. The xylanase contained no other enzyme activity except for the hydrolysis of xylan substrate. The optimal temperature of the enzyme assay was 50 °C. The optimum pH for the xylanase activity was at three peaks 6.5, 8.5 and 10.5, respectively and the enzyme was stable over a broad range of pH from pH 6 to 10.5. Metal ions tested with demetalized enzyme had no effect, with the exception of Hg2+ and Pb2+ (both strong inhibitors). Inhibition of the enzyme activity by N-bromosuccinimide (amino acid modifier) indicated the role of tryptophan residues in the catalytic function of the enzyme. Due to these outstanding properties, the xylanase of Bacillussp. finds potential applications in biopulping, biobleaching and de-inking of recycled paper and other industrial processes.  相似文献
