Improving the Thermostability of a Fungal GH11 Xylanase via Fusion of a Submodule (C2) from Hyperthermophilic CBM9_1-2.

ABSTRACT: Xylanases have been applied in many industrial fields. To improve the activity and thermostability of the xylanase CDBFV from Neocallimastix patriciarum (GenBank accession no. KP691331), submodule C2 from hyperthermophilic CBM9_1-2 was inserted into the N- and/or C-terminal regions of the CDBFV protein (producing C2-CDBFV, CDBFV-C2, and C2-CDBFV-C2) by genetic engineering. CDBFV and the hybrid proteins were successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Enzymatic property analysis indicates that the C2 submodule had a significant effect on enhancing the thermostability of the CDBFV. At the optimal temperature (60.0 °C), the half-lives of the three chimeras C2-CDBFV, CDBFV-C2, and C2-CDBFV-C2 are 1.5 times (37.5 min), 4.9 times (122.2 min), and 3.8 times (93.1 min) lon
