Xylanases are glycoside hydrolase family 11 which depolymerise xylan in
the plant cell wall, the most excessive form of hemicellulose. Endo-β-xylanases
(EC 3.2.1.8) are most important to breakdown β-1,4-glicoside bond of xylan to
produce disaccaride xyloolygosaccaride (XOs) and xylose (monomer). Bovine
rumen fluids have potential to obtain endo-β-xylanase produced of bacteria. The
objectives of this study were to obtain xylanase producing bacteria and to express
xynA gene encoding endo-β-xylanase from bacterium in Escherichia coli.
Twenty nine isolate bacteria have been succesfully isolated from bovine
rumen fluid in agar medium containing birchwood xylan. Isolate BCRS-01
bacterium was previously screened for the high production of xylanase. Based on
16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, BCRS-01 showed high similarity (99%) to
Bacillus pumilus (accession number NR043241). The crude xylanase had optimal
activity at 55oC, pH 7.0. Furthermore, the crude xylanase exhibited broad pH
stability from 4.0 to 10.0 and remained more than 60% and 40% of its activity
after incubation at pH 4.0 until 10.0, respectively for 60 min. It also showed a
stability at temperature 25-50oC since it retained 80% and 50% of its activity
when incubated at 50oC or 30 and 60 min, respectively. The xylanase activity was
strongly inhibited by Ca2+ and Cu2+ at concentration 10 mM, and as little as 1 mM
for Mn2+. Therefore, this xylanase has potentially used as additive feeds in animal
feed industry.
The DNA sequence xynA gene encoded endo-β-xylanase was amplified and
cloned into the expression vector pET-15by under the control of T7 promoter. The
recombinant protein had succesfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3)
pLysS. A protein recombinant of approximately, 26.7 kDa was observed on the
SDS-PAGE analysis. Crude extract of recombinant endo-β-xylanase demonstrated
activity of enzyme at 56 U mL-1 using birchwood xylan as a substrate at 55oC for
10 min.
