Background: Xylan is a major component of plant cells and the most abundant hemicellulose. Xylanases degrade xylan into monomers by randomly cleaving β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in the xylan backbone, and have widespread potential applications in various industries. The purpose of our study was to clone and express the endoxylanase gene xynA of Thermobifida fusca YX in its native form and with a C-terminal histidine (His) tag in Pichia pastoris X-33. We analyzed and compared these two forms of the protein and examined their potential applications in various industries.
Results: The xynA gene from T. fusca YX was successfully cloned and expressed using P. pastoris X-33. We produced a recombinant native form of the protein (rXyn11A) and a C-terminal His-tagged form of the desired protein (rXyn11A-(His)6). The specific activities of rXyn11A and rXyn11A-(His)6 in culture supernatants approached 149.4 and 133.4 U/mg, respectively. These activities were approximately 4- and 3.5-fold higher than those for the non-recombinant wild-type Xyn11A (29.3 U/mg). Following purification, the specific activities of rXyn11A and rXyn11A-(His)6 were 557.35 and 515.84 U/mg, respectively. The specific activity of rXyn11A was 8% higher than that of rXyn11A-(His)6. Both recombinant xylanases were optimally active at 80°C and pH 8.0, and exhibited greater than 60% activity between pH 6-9 and 60-80°C. They exhibited similar pH stability, while rXyn11A exhibited better thermostability; N-glycosylation enhanced the thermostability of both recombinant xylanases. The products of beechwood xylan hydrolyzed by both xylanases included xylobiose, xylotriose, xylotetraose and xylopentaose.
Conclusions: The C-terminal His tag had adverse effects when added to the Xyn11A protein. The thermostability of both recombinant xylanases was enhanced by N-glycosylation. Their stabilities at a high pH and temperature indicate their potential for application in various industries.

The cell walls of red and green algae contain β-1,3-xylan, which is hydrolysed by the endo-type enzyme β-1,3-xylanase. Notably, only marine-bacteria-derived β-1,3-xylanases have been functionally characterised to date. In this study, we characterised the enzymatic properties of a potential β-1,3-xylanase (BcXyn26B) derived from the human gut bacterium, Bacteroides cellulosilyticus WH2.

GH10 xylanases and GH62 Arabinofuranosidases play key roles in the breakdown of arabinoxylans and are important tools in various industrial and biotechnological processes, such as renewable biofuel production, the paper industry, and the production of short-chain xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from plant biomass. However, the use of these enzymes in industrial settings is often limited due to their relatively low thermostability and reduced catalytic efficiency. To overcome these limitations, strategies based on enzymatic chimera construction and the use of metal ions and other cofactors have been proposed to produce new recombinant enzymes with improved catalytic activity and thermostability.

Article Synopsis
- An endo-xylanase enzyme (Scxyn5) from the fungus Schizophyllum commune was successfully expressed in the P. pastoris system, demonstrating significant stability and activity in high concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide and sodium chloride.
- Scxyn5 showcased varying catalytic efficiency when breaking down different substrates, notably increasing its activity by 1.3-2.03 times on corn fiber gum when sodium chloride was added.
- The optimal conditions for Scxyn5 to effectively hydrolyze the corn fiber gum were identified as 50 °C, pH 6.0, and 4 M NaCl, making it suitable for producing arabinoxylan-oligosaccharides and other potential food industry applications.
