Abstract

An extracellular thermostable xylanase (XynNTU) from Paenibacillus campinasensis NTU-11, consisted of a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 11 catalytic domain, a Gly/Pro-rich linker sequence (LS) and a family 6 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM6), was identified and expressed in E. coli BL21. The purified XynNTU had a specific activity of 2750 U/mg and an optimal activity at 60 °C and pH 7.0, and retained a residual activity of 58.4% after incubation (60 °C, 48 h). Two truncated mutants, CBM6-truncated form XynNTU-CDLS, CBM6 and linker-truncated form XynNTU-CD, possessed similar values of optimum pH and temperature as the native XynNTU. XynNTU-CD displayed a lower thermostability than XynNTU, whereas for XynNTU-CDLS, more than 90% of residual activity was remained (60 °C, 48 h), indicating that this enzyme presented a higher thermostability than that of the majority of reported GH11 xylanases. Furthermore, XynNTU and two mutants maintained more than 70% of residual activity at pH values of 5–9. Kinetic measurements suggested that CBM6 had a crucial function in the ability of the enzyme to bind and hydrolyze xylan substrates, while LS had a relatively mild influence. Collectively, a noticeable thermostability and a high specific activity of XynNTU and its truncated form XynNTU-CDLS highlights their potentials for diverse industrial applications.
