S954A MUTANT OF THE FERULOYL ESTERASE MODULE FROM CLOSTRIDIUM THERMOCELLUM COMPLEXED WITH FERULIC ACID
OverviewOverview
BACKGROUND: Degradation of the plant cell wall requires the synergistic, action of a consortium of predominantly modular enzymes. In Clostridiae, these biocatalysts are organized into a supramolecular assembly termed a, "cellulosome." This multienzyme complex possesses, in addition to its, well-described cellulolytic activity, an apparatus specific for xylan, degradation. Cinnamic acid esterases hydrolyze the ferulate groups, involved in the crosslinking of arabinoxylans to lignin and thus play a, key role in the degradation of the plant cell wall in addition to having, promising industrial and medical applications. RESULTS: We have cloned and, overexpressed the feruloyl esterase module from a 5 domain xylanase, Xyn10B from Clostridium thermocellum. The native structure at 1.6 A, ... [(full description)]
