Crystal structure of beta-xylosidase mutant (E186Q/F503Y) from Bacillus pumilus
Structural highlights
FunctionXYNB_BACPU Beta-xylosidase is an intracellular xylan-degrading enzyme. Publication Abstract from PubMedXylobiose consists of two molecules of xylose and has been highly recognized as a food supplement because it possesses high prebiotic functions. beta-xylosidase exhibits enzymatic activity to hydrolyze xylobiose, and the enzyme can also catalyze the reverse reaction in the presence of high concentrations of xylose. Previously, beta-xylosidase from Bacillus pumilus IPO (BpXynB), belonging to GH family 43, was employed to produce xylobiose from xylose. To improve the enzymatic efficiency, this study determined the high-resolution structure of BpXynB in a complex with xylobiose and engineered BpXynB based on the structures. The structure of BpXynB deciphered the residues involved in the recognition of the xylobiose. A site-directed mutation at the residue for xylobiose recognition increased the yield of xylobiose by 20% compared to a similar activity of the wild type enzyme. The complex structure of the mutant enzyme and xylobiose provided the structural basis for a higher yield of the engineered protein. This engineered enzyme would enable a higher economic production of xylobiose, and a similar engineering strategy could be applied within the same family of enzymes.
