Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6 produces an extracellular multienzyme complex containing a major xylanase subunit, designated Xyn11A, which includes two functional domains belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family-11 (GH11) and carbohydrate binding module family-36 (CBM36) and possesses a glycine and asparagine-rich linker (linker). To clarify the roles of each functional domain, recombinant proteins XynXL and XynX (CBM36 deleted and CBM36 and linker deleted, respectively) were constructed. Their xylanase activities were similar toward soluble xylan, whereas XynXL showed decreased hydrolysis activity toward insoluble xylan while XynX had no xylanase activity. To determine the significance of the linker and its neighbor region, XynX was subjected to secondary structural alignments using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and three-dimensional (3D) structural analysis. A seven amino acid (NTITIGG) neighbor linker sequence was highly conserved among GH11 xylanases of Paenibacillus species. Although XynX exhibited a typical GH11 xylanase structure, conformational gaps were observed in the β6- and β12-sheets and in CD spectra. Flipping of the Arg163 side chains in the subsite was also observed upon analysis of superimposed models. Docking analysis using xylohexaose indicated that flipping of the Arg163 side chains markedly affected substrate binding in the subsite. To identify the amino acids related to stabilizing the substrate binding site, XynX with an extended C-terminal region was designed. At least seven amino acids were necessary to recover substrate binding and xylanase activity. These results indicated that the seven amino acid neighbor Xyn11A linker plays an important role in the activity and conformational stability of the xylanase domain.  相似文献

An anaerobic, cellulolytic-xylanolytic bacterium, designated strain A7, was isolated from a cellulose-degrading bacterial community inhabiting bovine manure compost on Ishigaki Island, Japan, by enrichment culture using unpretreated corn stover as the sole carbon source. The strain was Gram-positive, non-endospore forming, non-motile, and formed orange colonies on solid medium. Strain A7 was identified as Herbivorax saccincola by DNA-DNA hybridization, and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that it was closely related to H. saccincola GGR1 (= DSM 101079T). H. saccincola A7 (= JCM 31827 = DSM 104321) had quite similar phenotypic characteristics to those of strain GGR1. However, the optimum growth of A7 was at alkaline pH (9.0) and 55 °C, compared to pH 7.0 at 60 °C for GGR1, and the fatty acid profile of A7 contained 1.7-times more C17:0 iso than GGR1. The draft genome sequence revealed that H. saccincola A7 possessed a cellulosome-like extracellular macromolecular complex, which has also been found for Clostridium thermocellum and C. clariflavum. H. saccincola A7 contained more glycoside hydrolases (GHs) belonging to GH families-11 and -2, and more diversity of xylanolytic enzymes, than C. thermocellum and C. clariflavum. H. saccincola A7 could grow on xylan because it encoded essential genes for xylose metabolism, such as a xylose transporter, xylose isomerase, xylulokinase, and ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase, which are absent from C. thermocellum. These results indicated that H. saccincola A7 has great potential as a microorganism that can effectively degrade lignocellulosic biomass.  相似文献

Background

Cellulases continue to be one of the major costs associated with the lignocellulose hydrolysis process. Clostridium thermocellum is an anaerobic, thermophilic, cellulolytic bacterium that produces cellulosomes capable of efficiently degrading plant cell walls. The end-product cellobiose, however, inhibits degradation. To maximize the cellulolytic ability of C. thermocellum, it is important to eliminate this end-product inhibition.

Results

This work describes a system for biological saccharification that leads to glucose production following hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. C. thermocellum cultures supplemented with thermostable beta-glucosidases make up this system. This approach does not require any supplementation with cellulases and hemicellulases. When C. thermocellum strain S14 was cultured with a Thermoanaerobacter brockii beta-glucosidase (CglT with activity 30 U/g cellulose) in medium containing 100 g/L cellulose (617 mM initial glucose equivalents), we observed not only high degradation of cellulose, but also accumulation of 426 mM glucose in the culture broth. In contrast, cultures without CglT, or with less thermostable beta-glucosidases, did not efficiently hydrolyze cellulose and accumulated high levels of glucose. Glucose production required a cellulose load of over 10 g/L. When alkali-pretreated rice straw containing 100 g/L glucan was used as the lignocellulosic biomass, approximately 72% of the glucan was saccharified, and glucose accumulated to 446 mM in the culture broth. The hydrolysate slurry containing glucose was directly fermented to 694 mM ethanol by addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, giving an 85% theoretical yield without any inhibition.

Conclusions

Our process is the first instance of biological saccharification with exclusive production and accumulation of glucose from lignocellulosic biomass. The key to its success was the use of C. thermocellum supplemented with a thermostable beta-glucosidase and cultured under a high cellulose load. We named this approach biological simultaneous enzyme production and saccharification (BSES). BSES may resolve a significant barrier to economical production by providing a platform for production of fermentable sugars with reduced enzyme amounts.
