Structures of endo-1,5-α-L-arabinanase mutants from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3 in complex with arabino-oligosaccharides.

The thermostable endo-1,5-α-L-arabinanase from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3 (ABN-TS) hydrolyzes the α-1,5-L-arabinofuranoside linkages of arabinan. In this study, the crystal structures of inactive ABN-TS mutants, D27A and D147N, were determined in complex with arabino-oligosaccharides. The crystal structures revealed that ABN-TS has at least six subsites in the deep V-shaped cleft formed across one face of the propeller structure.

Structural basis for thermostability of endo-1,5-alpha-L-arabinanase from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3.

The crystal structure of a thermostable endo-1,5-alpha-L-arabinanase, ABN-TS, from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3 was determined at 1.9 A to an R-factor of 18.3% and an R-free-factor of 22.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a thermostable endo-1,5-alpha-L-arabinanase from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3.

A thermostable endo-1,5-alpha-L-arabinanase ABN-TS from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3 with a molecular weight of 35 kDa was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using sodium citrate as a precipitant. The crystals were loop-mounted in a cryoprotectant solution containing 28%(w/v) sucrose and 1 M sodium citrate pH 6.0 and flash-cooled.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of a thermostable pectate lyase PL 47 from Bacillus sp. TS 47.

The thermostable pectate lyase PL 47 from Bacillus sp. TS 47, with a molecular weight of 50 kDa, was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using 2-propanol and polyethylene glycol 4000 as precipitants. The crystals belong to the trigonal space group P3(1)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 58.

Molecular cloning of the gene encoding thermostable endo-1,5-alpha-L-arabinase of Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3 and its expression in Bacillus subtilis.

The gene that encodes a thermostable endo-arabinase (called ABN-TS) from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in the mesophilic B. subtilis. The gene contained an open reading frame consists of 939 bp, which encodes 313 amino acids.

Purification and characterization of thermostable endo-1,5-alpha-L-arabinase from a strain of Bacillus thermodenitrificans.

A strain of a thermophilic bacterium, tentatively designated Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3, with arabinan-degrading activity was isolated. It produced an endo-arabinase (ABN) (EC 3.2.

Cloning of a protopectinase gene of Trichosporon penicillatum and its expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A protopectinase (PPase)-encoding gene, PSE3, from Trichosporon penicillatum was cloned by colony hybridization using two oligonucleotide probes synthesized from the N-terminal amino acid sequences of native PPase SE1 and one peptide from a lysyl endopeptidase digest. Nucleotide sequencing revealed that PSE3 contains an ORF encoding a 367 amino acid protein. Mature PPase SE3 is composed of 340 amino acids and the N-terminus of the ORF appeared to correspond to a signal peptide and a propeptide processed by a KEX2-like proteinase.
