gene axe2, expression in Escherichia coli strain B834(DE3) for synthesis of a selenomethionine-labeled enzyme, and in strain BL21(DE3) for synthesis of the wild-type enzyme | Geobacillus stearothermophilus |
Crystallization (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
purified recombinant wild-type and selenomethionine-labeled enzyme, mixing of 0.0025 ml of 3-6 mg/ml protein solution with 0.0025 ml of reservoir solution, and equilibration against 1 ml of reservoir solution, 4 different conditions resulting in four different crystal forms, best conditions are obtained with 6 mg/ml protein and 1.2 M K tartrate, 0.3 M NaCl, 0.1 M imidazole buffer, pH 7.2, 1-3 days, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 1.70-1.85 A resolution, three-dimensional structure determination | Geobacillus stearothermophilus |

physiological function | acetylxylan esterases hydrolyse the ester linkages of the xylan acetyl groups and thus improve the ability of main-chain hydrolysing enzymes to break down the sugar backbone units. As such, these enzymes play an important part in the hemi-cellulolytic utilization system of many microorganisms that use plant biomass for growth | Geobacillus stearothermophilus |
