- Abstract
- This study was conducted to isolate and functionally characterize a novel xylan-degrading enzyme from the microbial metagenomes of black goat rumens. A novel gene, KG42, was isolated from one of the 17 xylan-degrading metagenomic fosmid clones obtained from black goat rumens. The KG42 gene, comprising a 1107 bp open reading frame, encodes a protein composed of 368 amino acids (41 kDa) with a glycosyl hydrolase family 10 (GH10) domain, consisting of a "salad-bowl" shaped tertiary structure (a typical 8-fold alpha/beta barrel (alpha/beta )8) and two catalytic residues. KG42 xylanase protein has at best 40% sequence identity with other homologous GH10 xylanase proteins. The enzyme displayed its optimum activity at pH 5.0 and 50 degrees C. The enzyme was thermally stable at pH and temperature ranges of 5.0-10.0 and 20-60 degrees C, respectively. Substrate specificity and hydrolytic patterns implied that the KG42 xylanase functions as an endo-beta-1,4-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8). The KG42 xylanase was also used for the preparation of bifidogenic xylan hydrolysates, demonstrating its potential applications toward preparing prebiotic xylooligosaccharides.
