Thermostable and alkaline- or acid-stable xylanases are more advantageous in agricultural and industrial fields. In this study, a rational structure-based design was conducted based on a thermostable GH11 xylanase XynA from to improved pH-tolerance. Four mutant enzymes (P1, P2, P3, and P4) and five variants (N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5) were constructed by substituting surface charged residue combinations using site-directed mutagenesis. Compared to the native enzyme, two mutants P1 and P2 showed higher acid tolerance, especially at pH 3.0, presented 50 and 40% of their maximum activity, respectively. In addition, four mutants N1, N2, N3 and N4 had higher tolerance than the native enzyme to alkaline environments (pH 7.0-9.0). At pH 9.0, the residual activities of N1, N2, N3, and N4 were 86, 78, 77, and 66%, respectively. In summary, an improved pH-tolerance design principle is being reported.
耐热以及耐碱或耐酸的木聚糖酶在农业和工业领域更具优势。在本研究中,基于来自[具体来源未给出]的耐热GH11木聚糖酶XynA进行了基于结构的合理设计,以提高pH耐受性。通过定点诱变替换表面带电残基组合构建了四种突变酶(P1、P2、P3和P4)和五种变体(N1、N2、N3、N4和N5)。与天然酶相比,两种突变体P1和P2表现出更高的耐酸性,尤其是在pH 3.0时,分别呈现出其最大活性的50%和40%。此外,四种突变体N1、N2、N3和N4比天然酶对碱性环境(pH 7.0 - 9.0)具有更高的耐受性。在pH 9.0时,N1、N2、N3和N4的残余活性分别为86%、78%、77%和66%。总之,本文报道了一种改进的pH耐受性设计原则。
