An endo-1,4-β-xylanase, XynA, from VAPS-24, was purified to homogeneity and exhibited a molecular mass of approximately 20 kDa. The protein sequence of XynA was found to be similar to those of other derived xylanases and, as a result, could be used as a model enzyme for understanding the protein structure-activity relationship and facilitating protein engineering to design enzyme variants with desirable properties. Therefore, this xylanase will be an attractive candidate for applications in the biofuel and fine chemical industries for the degradation of xylans in steam pre-treated biomass.
从VAPS - 24中纯化得到一种内切 - 1,4 - β - 木聚糖酶XynA,纯化后的该酶达到了均一性,其分子量约为20 kDa。发现XynA的蛋白质序列与其他来源的木聚糖酶相似,因此,它可以作为一种模型酶,用于理解蛋白质结构 - 活性关系,并有助于蛋白质工程设计具有理想特性的酶变体。因此,这种木聚糖酶将是生物燃料和精细化工行业中用于降解蒸汽预处理生物质中木聚糖的有吸引力的候选酶。
