ENGINEERED BACILLUS BIFUNCTIONAL ENZYME GLUXYN-1

Overview

The 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanase from Bacillus macerans (wtGLU) and the 1, 4-beta-xylanase from Bacillus subtilis (wtXYN) are both single-domain, jellyroll proteins catalyzing similar enzymatic reactions. In the fusion, protein GluXyn-1, the two proteins are joined by insertion of the entire, XYN domain into a surface loop of cpMAC-57, a circularly permuted variant, of wtGLU. GluXyn-1 was generated by protein engineering methods, produced, in Escherichia coli and shown to fold spontaneously and have both, enzymatic activities at wild-type level. The crystal structure of GluXyn-1, was determined at 2.1 A resolution and refined to R = 17.7% and R(free) =, 22.4%. It shows nearly ideal, native-like folding of both protein domains, and a small, but significant hinge bending between the domains. The active, sites are independent and accessible explaining the observed enzymatic, activity. Because in GluXyn-1 the complete XYN domain is inserted into the, compact folding unit of GLU, the wild-type-like activity and tertiary, structure of the latter proves that the folding process of GLU does not, depend on intramolecular interactions that are short-ranged in the, sequence. Insertion fusions of the GluXyn-1 type may prove to be an easy, route toward more stable bifunctional proteins in which the two parts are, more closely associated than in linear end-to-end protein fusions.
