Acts as an exo-oligoxylanase that efficiently hydrolyzes xylooligosaccharides, releasing xylose from their reducing ends. Hydrolyzes xylooligomers of 3 to 6 xylose units to xylose and xylobiose. Besides linear xylooligosaccharides, also hydrolyzes branched xylooligomers, such as xylooligomers decorated with 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid moieties. Its proposed role is the degradation of xylooligomers produced by the activity of extracellular xylanases once they have been transported inside cells. Shows minor activity on polymeric xylan (glucuronoxylan from beechwood). Is not active on cellooligosaccharides or cellulosic substrates, or on other polysaccharides such as pectin, polygalacturonic acid, laminarin, or lichenan. Publication Abstract from PubMed Reducing-end xylose-releasing exo-oligoxylanases (Rex) are GH8 enzymes that depolymerize xylooligosaccharides complementing xylan degradation by endoxylanases in an exo manner. We have studied Paenibacillus barcinonensis Rex8A and showed the release of xylose from xylooligomers decorated with methylglucuronic acid (UXOS) or with arabinose (AXOS). This gives the enzyme a distinctive trait among known Rex, which show activity only on linear xylooligosaccharides. The structure of the enzyme has been solved by X-ray crystallography showing a (alpha/alpha)6 folding common to GH8 enzymes. Analysis of inactived Rex8A-E70A complexed with xylotetraose revealed the existence of at least four binding subsites in Rex8A, with the oligosaccharide occupying subsites -3 to +1. The enzyme shows an extended Leu320-His321-Pro322 loop, common to other Rex, which blocks the binding of longer substrates to positive subsites further than +1 and seems responsible for the lack or diminished activity of Rex enzymes on xylan. Mutants with smaller residues in this loop failed to increase Rex8A activity on the polymer. Analysis of the complexes with AXOS showed the accommodation of arabinose at subsite -2, which cannot be allocated at subsite -1. Arabinose substitutions at the xylose O2 or O3 are accommodated by hydrophobic interaction and seem tolerated rather than recognized by Rex8A. A strained binding of the branch is facilitated by the lack of direct polar interactions of the xylose occupying this subsite, its water-mediated links allowing some conformational flexibility of the sugar. The plasticity of Rex8A is a notable property of the enzyme for its application in xylan deconstruction and upgrading.
