RESUMO
Bacillus stearothermophilus T-6 produces an extracellular thermostable xylanase. Affinity-purified polyclonal serum raised against the enzyme was used to screen a genomic library of B. stearothermophilus T-6 constructed in lambda-EMBL3. Two positive phages were isolated, both containing similar 13-kb inserts, and their lysates exhibited xylanase activity. A 3,696-bp SalI-BamHI fragment containing the xylanase gene was subcloned in Escherichia coli and subsequently sequenced. The open reading frame of xylanase T-6 consists of 1,236 bp. On the basis of sequence similarity, two possible -10 and -35 regions, a ribosome-binding site at the 5' end of the gene and a potential transcriptional termination motif at the 3' end of the gene, were identified. From the previously known N-terminal amino acid sequence of xylanase T-6 and the possible ribosome-binding site, a putative 28-amino-acid signal peptide was deduced. The mature xylanase T-6 consists of 379 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight and pI of 43,808 and 6.88, respectively. Multiple alignment of beta-glycanase amino acid sequences revealed highly conserved regions. Northern (RNA) blot analysis indicated that the xylanase T-6 transcript is about 1.4 kb and that the induction of this enzyme synthesis by xylose is on the transcriptional level.
