title: Structure-function relationship of the xylanase from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain 41M-1.
abstract: Xylanase J from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain 41M-1 contains a family G catalytic domain at the N-terminus, followed by a linker sequence and a functionally-unknown C-terminal domain. The mutational analysis of xylanase J indicated that Glu-93, Glu-183, Trp-18, Trp-86, Tyr-84 and Tyr-95 play an important role in the catalytic activity. A deletion derivative of xylanase J lacking the C-terminal domain retained its activity, suggesting that the C-terminal domain does not directly involved in catalysis.
