Abstract
A full-length xylanase gene, encoding 326 amino acids belonging to the fungal glycosyl hydrolase family 10, from Aspergillus terreus BCC129 was cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis suggested that the first 25 amino acids of this enzyme is the signal peptide. Therefore, only the mature xylanase gene of 906 bp was cloned into a yeast expression vector, pPICZαA, for heterologous expression in Pichia pastoris. A band of approximately, 33 kDa was observed on the SDS-PAGE gel after one day of methanol induction. The expressed enzyme was purified by gel filtration chromatography. The purified recombinant xylanase demonstrated optimal activity at 60°C, pH 5.0 and a Kmof 4.8 ± 0.07 mg/ml and a Vmaxof 757 ± 14.54 μmol/min mg, using birchwood xylan as a substrate. Additionally, the purified enzyme demonstrated broad pH stability from 4 to 10 when incubated at 40°C for 4 h. It also showed a moderate thermal stability since it retained 90% of its activity when incubated at 50°C, 30 min, making this enzyme a potential use in the animal feed and paper and pulp industries. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.
