Herein, we demonstrated that XynA is a rare reducing-end xylose-releasing exo-oligoxylanase and not an endo-beta-1,4-xylanase as predicted. Structural analysis revealed that an insertion in the beta7-alpha7 loop induces dimerization and promotes a physical barrier at the +2 subsite conferring this unique mode of action within the GH10 family. A single mutation that impaired dimerization became XynA active against xylan and high endolytic activity was achieved when this loop was tailored to match a canonical sequence of endo-beta-1,4-xylanases, supporting our mechanistic model. On the other hand, the divergent XynB showed to be a classical endo-beta-1,4-xylanase, despite the low sequence similarity to characterized GH10 xylanases. Interestingly, this enzyme contains a calcium ion bound nearby to the glycone-binding region, which is required for catalytic activity and structural stability. These results shed light on the molecular basis for xylan degradation by Xanthomonas and suggest how these enzymes synergistically assist infection and pathogenesis. Our findings indicate that XynB contributes to breach the plant cell-wall barrier providing nutrients and facilitating the translocation of effector molecules, whereas the exo-oligoxylanase XynA possibly participates in the suppression of oligosaccharide-induced immune responses.
