family 10 xylanase; pH-activity relationship
Two regions in xylanase A from Bacillus halodurans C-125 (XynA), an alkaliphilic xylanase, were identified to be responsible for its activity at basic pH by comparing the dissociation constants of the XynA proton donor Glu residue (pK(e2) and pK(es2)) with those of xylanase B from Clostridium stercorarium F9 (XynB) and their mutants constructed by substituting either Ser137/Asn127 of XynA/XynB or the 4th loop, designed based on the structural difference close to the proton donor. The substitution of XynB at Asn127 into Ser increased pK(e2) by 0.37. The effect is explained that the positive charge of His126 likely affects the proton donor via Asn127 and a water molecule in XynB, resulting in a decrease in pK(e2), whereas such interactions were not observed with Ser. The substitution of XynB at the 4th loop into XynA (XynB Loop4A) increased the pK(e2) and pK(es2) values by 0.29 and 0.62, respectively. The effect of the 4th loop in XynA is likely due to a hydrogen bond between Asp 199 in the loop and Tyr239, which interacts with both the proton donors Glu195 and Arg204, with flexibility of the loop. Both the mutations independently affected the increases in pK(e2).
