| Research Abstract |
1)An extracellular endo-1,4-β-xylanase was purified from the culture filtrate of a filamentous fungus, Penicillium citrinum strain FERM P-15944. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-PAGE with an apparent M_r of 31.6 kDa. An open reading frame of the xylanase gene ^<xynB was interrupted by nine introns and encoded a presumed prepropeptide of 25 amino acids and a mature protein of 302 amino acids. Sequence alignment showed that the P. citrinum enzyme belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 10.
2)An extracellular protein exhibiting β-xylosidase activity was purified from the culture filtrate of a filamentous fungus Aspergillus japonicus strain MU-2. The purified enzyme was a glycoprotein with an apparent M_r of 113.2 kDa The enzyme also had hydrolytic activities toward p-nitropheny1-β-D-glucopyranoside and p-nitropheny1-β-L-arabinofuranoside. An open reading frame of the β-xylo, sidase gene ^<xyl>A, consisting of 2412 bp, was not interrupted by introns, and it encoded a presumed s

ignal peptide of 17 amino acids and a mature protein of 787 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a high degree of identity (69%)to Aspergillus nigerβ-xylosidase XlnD that belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 3.
3)An extracellular xylanase from A. japonicus was purified with a yield of 28.7% of the activity and a 21-fold increase in specific activity. The xylanase showed a single band on SDS-PAGE with an apparent M_r of 25.1 kDa. A pair of degenerate PCR primers was synthesized according to the internal amino acid sequence (EDYGEYN)and a highly conserved sequence (NHFNAWA)among GH family-11 xylanases from Aspergillus spp. Two distinct internal sequences were amplified from genomic DNA of A. japonicus as a template by PCR with the primer pair. Two genomic DNA segments encoding xylanase were cloned using two DIG-labeled amplified fragments The deduced amino acid sequences of two xylanase genes, ^<xynG1 and ^<xynG2, revealed that purified xylanase corresponded to ^<xynG2 gene product.
