Enzymic Analysis of Feruloylated Arabinoxylans (Feraxan) Derived from Zea mays Cell Walls I : Purification of Novel Enzymes Capable of Dissociating Feraxan Fragments from Zea mays Coleoptile Cell Wall.

Abstract：

:Three novel beta-xylan xylanohydrolases capable of dissociating ferulated arabinoxylan (Feraxan) from maize (Zea mays L. hybrid B73 x Mo17) coleoptile sections and two conventional beta-xylan xylanohydrolases (xylanases) were purified from a Bacillus subtilis industrial enzyme preparation (Novo Ban L-120). The Feraxan-dissociating enzymes (designated as feraxanases) exhibit optimum activities between pH 6.5 and 7.0 and have common molecular weights of 45 kilodaltons as studied by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two xylanases exhibit their optimum activities between pH 4.5 and 6.0 and have common molecular weights of 27 kilodaltons. Feraxanases liberate oligomeric fragments, which accounted for the following percentages of walls of Zea mays coleoptile sections that had been pretreated by boiling in 80% ethanol: 76% of the ferulic acid, 96% of the arabinose, 71% of the xylose, 27% of the galactose, 50% of the uronic acid, and 4% of the glucose. Monomers, dimers, trimers, or tetramers were not found among enzyme digestion products. The enzymes hydrolyzed both Feraxan in intact cell wall and maize arabinoxylans extracted from walls by alkaline solutions but did not degrade other substrates including larch arabinoxylan and Rhodymenia xylan. Structural analyses of the fragments released by the enzymes from the maize cell wall indicated the presence of 2,4/3,4-linked-xylopyranosyl, terminal-arabinofuranosyl, 5-linked-arabinofuranosyl, 4-linked-xylopyranosyl, terminal-glucuronopyranosyl, and ferulic acid as major components. This result is consistent with the idea that most of the fragments were derived from Feraxan. Because of high enzyme specificity and substantial recovery of digestion products from maize cell walls, these new enzymes offer opportunities not only for enhanced structural analyses of cell walls but also for assistance in protoplast preparation from cereals.
