Abstract:
:A novel xylanase gene xynBCA, encoding a polypeptide of 439 residues (XynBCA), was cloned from Caldicoprobacter algeriensis genome and recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The amino acid sequence analysis showed that XynBCA belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 10. The purified recombinant enzyme has a monomeric structure of 52 kDa. It is active and stable in a wide range of pH from 3 to 10 with a maximum activity at 6.5. Interestingly, XynBCA was highly thermoactive with an optimum temperature of 80 °C, thermostable with a half-life of 20 min at 80 °C. The specific activity was 117 U mg-1, while the Km and Vmax were 1.247 mg ml-1, and 114.7 μmol min-1 mg-1, respectively. The investigation of XynBCA in kraft pulp biobleaching experiments showed effectiveness in releasing reducing sugars and chromophores, with best achievements at 100 U g-1 of pulp and 1 h of incubation. The comparative molecular modeling studies with the less thermostable Xylanase B from Clostridium stercorarium, revealed extra charged residues at the surface of XynBCA potentially participating in the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds with solvent molecules or generating salt bridges, therefore contributing to the higher thermal stability.
