Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-xylosidic linkages in xylans
the catalytic residues are two conserved Glu residues, which are located opposite to each other in an open active site cleft. The catalytic mechanism resembles that of lysozyme. The role of one glutamate is to act as an acid/base catalyst whereas the other is a nucleophile and stabilizes the reaction intermediate
the proximal sugar-ring of the substrate distorts from 4C1 chair to 2,5B boat conformation. Key role of Tyr69 in stabilizing the boat in preference to the 4C1 chair conformation
xylose + xylobiose + xylotriose + xylotetraose are products formed by endo-beta-D-xylanase A. Xylobiose, xylotriose + xylotetraose are formed by endo-beta-D-xylanase B
Bcx possesses a beta-jellyroll fold that places its N- and C-termini in salt bridge contact. Mutant enzyme structure determination and analysis by X-ray diffraction and by NMR spectroscopy, overview. Overall conformation of Bcx changes very little in response to circular permutation, with effects largely being limited to increased local mobility near the new and the linked old termini and to a decrease in global stability against thermal denaturation

purified recombinant mutant enzyme, hanging drop method, 4°C, equilibration of 2 ml of protein solution, with 25-30 mg/ml protein in 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, against an equal volume of 13-20% saturated (NH4)2SO4 in 40 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation introduced a bulky hydrophobic residue causing a clash with the neighbouring residues that results in destabilization
the barrier for conversion of the 4C1 chair to the more-stable 2,5B boat in the wild-type enzyme-substrate complex is significantly lower than it is for the mutant. The mutation reduces the degree of oxacarbenium-ion character in the proximal xylose ring of the enzyme-substrate complex
construction of a library of circular permutants, generated by random circular permutation of Bcx, random DNase cleavage of the circularized Bcx gene, to introduce new termini in loop regions while linking its native termini directly or via one or two glycines, qualitative analysis, overview. Several permutations place key catalytic residues at or near the new termini with minimal deleterious effects on activity, up to 4fold increased activity. Mutant structure determination and analysis by X-ray diffraction and by NMR spectroscopy. Detailed stability and activity studies on three selected permutants, cpN35G2', cpY94G2', and cpY174G2', overview
