STRUCTURE OF A COLD-ADAPTED FAMILY 8 XYLANASE
Overview
Enzymes from psychrophilic organisms differ from their mesophilic, counterparts in having a lower thermostability and a higher specific, activity at low and moderate temperatures. The current consensus is that, they have an increased flexibility, enhancing accommodation and, transformation of the substrates at low energy costs. Here we describe the, structure of the xylanase from the Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas, haloplanktis at 1.3 A resolution. Xylanases are usually grouped into, glycosyl hydrolase families 10 and 11, but this enzyme belongs to family, 8. The fold differs from that of other known xylanases and can be, described as an (alpha/alpha)(6) barrel. Various parameters that may, explain the cold-adapted properties were examined and indicated that the, protein has a ... [(full description)]
